EMMY AWARDS, SEPTEMBER 22

[C L A U D E]

The In Memoriam section will be HUGE this year, so may greats from television have passed away in the past year. Two much too soon of course, James Gandolfini of Sopranos fame and Cory Monteith of GLEE. When you consider they go back a year from the telecast, that means Jack Klugman will be included although he passed in December 2012. Jean Stapelton of All in the Family, Bonnie Franklin of One Day at a Time. Barbara Eden's first husband Michael Ansara also. Annette Funicello from Mickey Moose club, soap star Jeanne Cooper who had a mouth on her that made Lucy look tame by comparison. Lisa Robin Kelly from That 70's show. LARRY HAGMAN of Dallas, character actor Dennis Farina. western star Dale Robertson, the great Eileen Brennan of Private Benjamin fame. Conrad Bain of Maude and Different Strokes and even that 21 year old kid from Buckwild, Shain Gandee.

Okay I get it but this is really DEPRESSING!!!

Well, the rest of the thread will NOT be about the ones who died you know.

HOW HOW HOW is "Nurse Jackie" a comedy?

Is is just because it's a half-hour?

Didn't they classify the much more whimsical "Desperate Housewives" as a drama? Because it was an hour?

The only thing that comes close to a "variety" series in the definition of how it was originally set up is "SNL".

Was there a good variety show after "the Carol Burnett Show"?

I miss variety shows, afraid the slack has been taken up by talk shows. THEY now feature more bands, singers, comedians that USED TO appear on the old variety shows. I'm curious, how many network shows do any of you watch regularly every single week nowadays? I mean the big four networks, the ones we used to be stuck with before the advent of HBO and specialty channels that we now spend most of our time watching.

If you ever find out the answer to that one, I'd love to hear it. That has perplexed me for years. It's a good show, but hardly a comedy.

Not only THAT but wasn't Edie Falco nominated as best actress in a comedy series????? The Golden Globes lists it in the best comedy or MUSICAL category, LOL!

[HarryCarter]

Edie Falco is the only actress to win Best Actress in both the Comedy and Drama series categories.

 

Desperate Housewives was in the comedy category. At some point during the run they considered moving it into the drama category, but it remained as a comedy the entire time.

Yeah, the funniest scenes on the show were when they'd kill somebody off, funnier than Chuckles the clown I tell ya!

Buff your candelabras. Elton John is booked to perform a salute to Liberace on this year's Emmys.

[JoeySanJoaquin]

Thanks! Will scope out whether I get it or not!

[C L A U D E]

Or Best Makeup.

 

Well, as hideous as he looked, that IS the way people who get too many face lifts end up looking, see Joan Rivers.

[C L A U D E]

Thanks! Will scope out whether I get it or not!

The one where Harry gave the winners was only the superfluous and technical categories almost nobody cares about making the show only three hours next Sunday instead of five, LOL!

[C L A U D E]

_{Lots of great EMMY facts to be posted here that I just read on the net . . . pompous ass Kelsey grammer is the only actor to get nominated for the same role on three shows, Wings, Cheers and Frasier.}

[C L A U D E]

No African American woman has ever won lead actress in a drama although Alfre Woodard has been nominated a record 17 times for the Emmy.

[C L A U D E]

Another pompous ass, Bill Maher is the Susan Lucci and aunt sheilah lantzburied of the Emmys by having been nominated for 27 times BUT NEVER WON, LOL!

[C L A U D E]

Only 2 actors from Seinfeld won awards, same as Lucy and Viv for I Love Lucy, the winners being Julia and Michael Richards of course.  If Seinfeld himself had ever won, well they don't give it for worst actor, do they?
