Emmy Award

By Bob Sassone I wonder how 30 Rock will handle today's deal with Comcast. I'm sure Tina Fey and the rest of the writers are already working on an episode or two about the takeover. They've already had a plot this season about budget cuts and other network moves, and I think this could be one of those weird time...

By Allison Waldman S04E05) When you see an episode like this one, you feel bad that Friday Night Lights has been flying under the radar when it comes to Emmy consideration. The performance by Zach Gilford as Matt was the best I've seen on TV since Aaron Paul blew me away with Breaking Bad last summer. Hopefully so...

By tomoneil And with a popular vote determining the six nominees in the acting races at this year's Emmy Awards, there's a very good chance Amy Poehler will land a lead nod. After all, last year she became the first "SNL" cast member to contend in the comedy series supporting race; she lost to Jean Smart (...

By tomoneil No wonder, according to its L.A. Times review: "With a cast that has won its weight in Emmys and Golden Globes, it's not surprising that 'Thin Ice' is filled with great performances; what is surprising is that so many of them are so marvelously small and subtle.

By noreply@blogger.com (Dorothy Snarker) What do you call five Emmy hosts and not one single laugh? The first eight minutes of last night's Emmy Awards telecast. And when I say not one single laugh, I mean the sound you'd hear in a black hole. And it got a whole lot worse before it got a whole lot better. And, when I say a whole lot better, I me...

By Myles Of course, what Smothers was getting at is that this is impossible, primarily because the definition of truth is so malleable and, in our case, adaptable. There might be one or two TV viewers out there who agree with every single decision made tonight, or those who believe in award shows as s...

By Richard Tracy Morgan, Tracy Morgan, Tracy Morgan. Funniest man on television right now, for my money. Seemingly about to spin-off the planet at any time, without warning, the 30 Rock star brings much needed batshit insanity to the usually buttoned-up world of network sitcoms.
