Members bellcurve Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 Despite the flub ups and screw ups, I thought this was one of the best Emmy shows in years. Alot of it had to do with the fact that the graphics package and the music were all something you would see/hear at an awards show, instead of that trashy White Cherry guitar music. Another thing. I noticed some of the words were being cut off from the screen during the pre-show and telecast and when I saw screencaps at Daytime Confidential, I realized that they were broadcasting the ceremony(where available) in HD! I do believe this is a first for the Daytime Emmys. The guys in charge of the ceremony deserve props for even that. I also noticed there were a lot LESS screaming soap fans in the audience. Maybe it was the small theater they occupied, who knows. But I was SO happy not to have to hear annoying DAYS/GH fans in the audience. Not saying it was perfect by any means. Still pissed that B&B didn't even get a Best Show speech. But this show was easily one of the best I've seen in years. This article also states that this production company will run the Emmys again next year and that even if it doesn't get on Network TV, they will push it into syndication.

Members MarkH Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 My CW is not in HD. I would have loved to have seen that. Now that you mention it, I really was very happy about the lack of screaming fans. On the other hand, it's a double edged sword. It sort of reflects the fact that ABC in general (The View, GMA) did not support these awards (except for those two GH ads...which IS something). Lack of screaming means lack of a young fan base...and that has negative implications for the genre, IMO. But I fully support what you say. This was a much better award show...if only it hadn't all been so rushed at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 Kudos to some (tepid?) ratings success...and to Errol/SON for apparently being the first to lead with that story! It's a good news/bad news thing. Bad news: Lowest ratings ever, and the network was still in 5th place. Good news: Best ratings for CW in quite a while, and ratings were higher than some projections. Let's see how it goes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 The CW would be fools not to bring it back next year. It's like a 2hour ad for CW shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 Did Heather subtly call Y&R crap in its current state and blamed that on the firing a lot of its staff and changing a big part of its identity? LOL! Heather Tom is love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted September 1, 2009 Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 Not much to do with the age of the fan base ... There simply weren't fans in the audience because there wasn't space for them. Personally, I missed the fans. It's good to have that energy there cheering people on. But I still liked the show.
