Thrilled about:

Veep and JLD. She is hilarious on this show.

Mayim Bialik! I'm torn between her and Kristen Wiig on who I want to win. I love both, so I would be happy with either.

Bill Hader FINALLY getting some Emmy recognition, and Max Greenfield getting recognized for The New Girl.

BORED WITH:

The continuing Emmy hard on for 30 Rock, Modern Family and Mad Men. Seriously, enough.

30 Rock, Mad Men & Modern Familly will dominate while on the air as did the sopranos and other shows in the past that are consistantly the best on television, as they should be. They shouldnt be nominated just because they always are. They are because they are among the best and the best is what the emmys are for.

Happy MB from MMT got a nom. Sad Scandal & KW didnt.

Happy for 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Homeland, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, New Girl, Modern Family, SNL, Community.

Disappointing that "Black Water" episode of Game of Thrones didn't get a nod for directing, or any acting nominations for Community or P&R or Damon Wayans Jr on Happy Endings.

Or than that, I'm pretty satisfied with the nominations.

Oh, and no more love for Glee! Yay!!

Walking Dead isn't seen as cool. It's more of a junk food show. GoT is known more for murder and naked women than quality of acting.

Mad Men and 30 Rock have that pastiche of hipness that makes the Academy feel relevant.

I'm glad no Glee anywhere. Thrilled about Jim Parsons (no surprise), Mayim Bialik, Melissa McCarthy, and Big Bang Theory getting best comedy nod. I hope all three win. Jim I imagine he's the front runner for a three-peat, Mayim deserves to win, I love Melissa McCarthy and I guess this nom means last year's win last wasn't due to role in Bridesmaid as everyone suggested LOL. I would LOVE for Big Bang Theory to upset Modern Family, cause not only do I find Big Bang better of the two, but it's been since 2005 (Everybody Loves Raymond) since a multi-cam has one.

Sad that no network drama's got a nod for best Drama. Are the cable drama's that superior or are the Emmy voters that biased?

I have no idea where you are getting that Walking Dead is not seen as cool or that GoT is known most for naked women. There is not a TV critic that has not hailed it as one of the best shows on TV, and its audience is so large is is only beat by Sopranos and True Blood as the most popular HBO show ever.

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.
    • Jordana Brewster is making a new movie. https://deadline.com/2025/06/rob-riggle-jordana-brewster-the-pirate-king-1236426287/ Kelly Rutherford posing for a magazine cover with her son. Kelly Rutherford Photographed with Model Son Hermés, 18, Years After Custody Battle  
    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
