The Boob Tube

Hey folks, sorry, i have been busy so much this month. So here I am with some news about the Boob Tube.

Last Thursday, the Primetime Emmy nominations were announced.

The Shows In the Emmy Race:
30 Rock, How I Met Your Mother, Mad Men, Family Guy, American Dad, Flight of the Conchords, and House

The Shows ignored for major categories by Emmy:
Two and a Half Men, Desperate Housewives, CSI, Grey's Anatomy, True Blood, The Shield, 24, Ugly Betty, Any show on the CW, and Friday Night Lights

HBO garnered 99 Emmy nominations; NBC was second with 67 and ABC was third with 55

My Emmy Predictions: Best Reality Competition: American Idol

Best Reality Host: Tom Bergeron, "Dancing with the Stars"

Best Reality Program: "Mythbusters"

Best Comedy Series: "Flight of the Conchords"--don't know why Family Guy gets an Emmy nod for Best Comedy Series--that show is the lowest form of crap ever broadcast on television today. What do people see in that show? It's bad, unfunny, distasteful, and not a good cartoon for kids. Whatever happened to Bugs Bunny, Yogi Bear and those characters--now that's cartoon funny business

Best Drama Series: "House" and Hugh Laurie should win an Emmy for Best Actor-Drama

Best Actor-Comedy: Jim Parsons, "The Big Bang Theory"--even nerds should win an Emmy

Best Actress-Drama: Elizabeth Moss, "Mad Men"

Best Variety Show: "Late Show with David Letterman"--Dave is beating Conan in the late night rating war so far this summer

Outstanding Children's Program: "iCarly"--Hannah Montana, you're going down!!
