oh and this should be a hellish night of tv
-
I mean why not just get Leno?
-
24 please let 24 win
-
As a host he is annoying, and that includes his own show. He has funny bits, but that's thanks to the writers, not him or his overly self-conscious delivery. When he takes over the Tonight Show it will be all over, because he'll end up toning down his act, like Letterman has, and his shortcomings will be even more obvious.
-
Nate Fisher is the best character on SFU. Peter Krause deserves this goddamn emmy more than anyone else nominated.
-
The Emmy's are a bigger Hollywood family fuck than the Oscars, and that is saying much. Ellen Burstyn is nominated for something in which she was on screen for ELEVEN SECONDS. The Emmy's are a joke, rivaling the Grammy's for worst award.
-
He really deserves it. That was an incredible performance. Keifer deserves it too.
-
NBC.com's schedule doesn't list the Emmy's as being in HD. WTF?
-
He certainly did the most subtle and human job on the show. And he got fucked repeatedly.
-
over the Grammys. At least the Emmys haven't actually awarded the equivalent of stand-ins or body doubles (girl, you know it's true!). Or have they? But yeah, that's not saying much. Industry awards are basically a clusterfuck for the members, and provide a bonanza of evidence to assist everyone else in questioning the intelligence of said members. They're still delightful trainwrecks to watch, though!
-
for years and years and years, people on this site have been giving out about the Emmys and its hosts. TBer after TBer said give the job to COnan. and every year when he didnt get the job people went mad. When it was announced that he was getting to host the show. I thought there would have been ticker-tape parade sponsered by AICN and Herc. But I was wrong.

-
feh, indeed.
-
THE OFFICE season 2 was better than anything on TV this year, and put the US version on par with the UK version, if not better. CURB (and I'm a HUGE CURB fan) had a pretty mediocre season. I will be rooting for Steve Carell, and shame on them for not nominating Rainn Wilson.
-
Only one nomiation. At least it's the big one. Hope 'AD' get it, though. Larry David should be getting the Emmy this time, going on the tapes submitted, but Steve Carrell will probably get it from hype.
-
I even overlooked this because I was positive he won in the first season, but it turns out he didn't. He consistently did a fucking amazing job. And simply for his performance in the final episodes he deserves the Emmy. Don't even get me started on how mind-blowing Lauren Ambrose and Michael C. Hall were in the last episodes, trying to deal with grief. How can none of them be nominated? It's a travesty...Also agree about The Office. This season became so goddamned good and if AD can't win this thing, I'm glad there is a worthy successor. Steve Carrell and Arnett deserve it, and Carrell actually has a shot. John Krasinki also completely deserved a nomination. But in it's last year, it really would have been great if Michael Cera got a nomination for George Michael, not only did he deserve it, but the fact that he's a teenager might have led to the academy to choose him. I'll be watching tonight, but I always just get upset, except when AD sweeped.
-
I hope she wins just so a huge fucking scandal develops because that entire nomination is just beyond ridiculous.
-
Because Studio 60 will win everything. Sorkin is tooo good to miss, and the academy loved the West Wing. I'd just be pleased for this show to be how Matthew Perry gets an Emmy, rather than his ten years on Friends. He was nominated for his guest spots on the West Wing, and his Studio 60 character is much, much better.
-
South Park is nominated in its category, "Animated Program (less than one hour)". Do you want Scrubs nominated for Drama Series too? Saying an animation isn't a major category is like saying a cartoon isn't a real show.
-
Every 2006 Emmy nominee for music in a tv series. And its season 2 soundscape was that much better, so...
-

to Simpsons. I'll admit it may not have been the best South Park but it was surely funnier than one of the WORST Simpsons episodes ever. Their acceptance speech even said, "This is what happens when you don't mock Scientology." Have some balls. Best writing for a comedy tonight is going to be tough. As Arrested Development really does deserve it, and the academy does seem to like them, but Office, Extras, and Entourage were also good. And for AD to have three of the five nominations for comedy directing last year, and now to have none makes no sense. Unless the show, simply didn't send out stuff because Hurwitz gave up on the show, and the "cancelled mentality" got people down. So I'll root for The Office, or for MNIE, not because of the show itself, but because Marc Buckland was a Sports Night director, and his statue could stand for that.
-
and give the show and Sutherland their props. This is the 5th time already. The show is becomng like that soap opera broad who was on her show for like 40 years and didn't win an Emmy. Leary and Rescue Me are a close second but 24 is just a step above everything else.
-
Some seriously out of whack preferences there, Herc. Seriously. Anyway, here's what I'll be saying in a few hours time: "AD WAS ROBBED! WILL ARNETT WAS ROBBED! EXTRAS (nominated in the writing category) WAS ROBBED!"
-
and the fact that their seasons are only 10 episodes long should count for something. Lazy bastard. And now that it's cancelled and the DVDs are out, can this award show be the last time I have to hear about Arrested fucking Development?
-
You'll be LUCKY to hear of a show of equal brilliance again!
-
How can you root for Jean Smart and NOT Gregory Itzin. He was by far the best character of season 5 and it should be hands down given to him. Jean was good but not as great as Itzin was. I hope to god Sutherland and the show finally win. After pulling for them for 4 seasons and not seeing them win I'm wanting to see at least one win
-

How did Kate Winslet NOT win a best guest star Emmy ...
by the wrong guy
for Extras? That's what I'd like to know...
-
It's spelled Carell, not Carrell!!!!!! GRRRRR!!!!! He's a big enough star to have his name spelled correctly!!!!! You wouldn't say Brad Pit or George Cloony!!!
-
I was worried the show was going to run out of gas, but S5 knocked me on my ass with hilariousness. [rips off glasses] "I submit that you took that baseball, stashed it in your unusually large vagina, and walked right on out of here!" Sure, the Office is okay, and I'd probably really love it if it wasn't based on anything else, but next to the British version, it just pales. Just. Pales.
-
Season 5 was insane. Lost was better and it didn't even get the motherfracking nom!! Bastards. Pricks. Idiots. Demented fuckers.
-
However, Carell's character is an incredible asshole too, and he has a real shot of winning. For God's sake, he yells at an employee for being worried about having cancer, as it detracts from his BIRTHDAY. Come to think of it, Gob, and Larry David are assholes too. Funny assholes.
-
Where oh where is Michael Emerson though?
-
The Emmy noms this year are ajorly fucked up and that is all due to what many call "The Lauren Graham Rule". Namely, the Emmys decided to change the nomination process to allow new faces/shows such as Graham, Bell, Battlestar Gallactica, etc to have a shot at nominations. Instead it majorly backfired. The majority of last year's WINNERS weren't even nominated this year (Lost, Spader, Arquette). And someone on the Emmy board even commented that Burstyn's nomination was nothing but a joke. He said people simply saw her name on the ballot and checked her box. She got that nom on name recognition alone.
-
COME ON!
-
That nomination list is fucking awful. Bah.
-
Forest Whitaker is a movie star who did a tv series this year. Why didn't he get nominated. He was excellent.
Kenny Johnson or Walter Goggins anybody?
-
arrested development is one of my top 3 favorite shows ever, but let's face it, it makes no difference if it wins anything at this point. i'd rather see some shows i like that are still on get some emmy love. i'm mostly just watching this for conan though, considering how fucked the nominations are this year. (and tivoing entourage and deadwood, which i'm infinitely more excited about, but time management dictates i do it this way)
-
...and I'm sorry, but Kiefer isn't much of an actor. Unless by 'acting' you mean repeating the same pattern of clencing jaw, staring intently, and whispering gravelly warnings. He's only two steps up from David Caruso, for christ's sake. The only '24' nominee who deserves anything is Jean Smart, who totally classes up everything she's in. She was great as Crazy First Lady. Denis Leary, and I'd never thought I'd say it, acts circles around Keifer Sutherland. But maybe that's because his character is semii-interesting and they give him good scripts. Give it to Leary or Krause, who was consistently nuanced and brave in his performance as Nate Fisher.
-
House is nominated but the unsurpassed Hugh Laurie is snubbed? Fuck this show. Emmys eat shit bombs.
-
but unfortunately, it was one letter too long. :(
-
and we're just living in it. 14 Emmys and counting for her; 14 seconds for Burstyn. Every AICN'er on here should be rooting for Burstyn to put the final exclamation point on the worst emmy nomination list ever.
-
Where is Denny Crane and Alan Shore? What gives?
-
Jack McGee (Jerry) should have been nominated also. Not recognizing his performance in season two is a real shame. Next year, outside of a deserved nomination for John Scurti (Lou), Rescue Me won't get a lot of nods. This season has been enjoyable, but nowhere near as good as last year. The August 15th episode was one of the series best however. The show jumped the shark lask week though. BIG TIME. Everything that should have happened, (things that would have made the show better in the longrun) didn't. And the closing moments were just insulting. I'd go into it more, but I'll save it for Rescue Me season finale talkback (?) in a few days.
-
"Lost" not being nominated for Best Drama kind of renders the whole night pointless (and the nominating committee insane).
-
Will have an asterisk next to their Emmy since they didn't beat - or even face - BSG.
-
Had a sophomore slump this past season; it was bogged down in too, too, too many flashbacks, not enough forward movement in the story, only lateral, side-to-side. Hopefully they'll get their act together for season 3. BSG was the antithesis of a sophomore jinx.
-
I'm not a big Whitaker fan (other than Bloodsport, of course) but I thought he did a cracking job this year on the Shield. Definitely better than Glenn Close.
-
Nice, if inadvertent, description of what will happen tonight, Herc. :)
-
The show has no Nascar, country music, or hunting. (unless you're counting pussy) And I doubt your common redneck would appreciate Rescue Me's constant inclusion of homosexual themes. Well, unless they are of the Deliverance variety. :P And since Walker Texas Ranger is supposedly their show of choice, they wouldn't know good writing if it bit them in the ass. I won't argue on the sadist assumption however.
-
As for TV's single best episode of 2005-06, BSG's Downloaded says hi. That pwned every series episode on broadcast or cable this season.
-
"women getting raped and liking it,underage sex,gay men being either converted or being beaten to death." Tommy and Janet have a fucked up relationship. Tommy was married to her, he knew her, he most likely knew how she'd react, who's to say they haven't had a scenario like that in the past. I'm not saying what he did was right, but to label a show bad because the main character does something bad, is just plain ridiculous. Regarding Rescue Me's use of homophobic tendencies, for the most part, it's realistic. Most guys talk about, and feel the same way as the guys on the show. Hell, even back in high school I felt the same way. But saying the show itself is homophobic, just proves you've only watched certain episodes. Jerry's arc with his son last season where he went from beating up a gay man, to accepting his gay son should have got him a emmy nod. The current situation with Mike, has went in many different directions. But he is just in the process of coming to terms with his sexuality. And yes, in case you didn't know, there are women out there who think that they can turn someone. The guys on the show were initially shocked by the news, and have poked fun at his revelation, but they have accepted it. He is one of them, he is their "brother", and next season, I got a feeling, the guys will have different views on gays, much like the chief. You may not like how this show is written (and I have no problem with that), but it is realistic. I will totally agree with you though, this show is for guys, but it doesn't mean women can't enjoy it, if they understand we don't think like them.
-
I'm a straight, white male, but I have no problem with the use of negative racial and homophobic slurs in shows or films if its dealing with the issue of racism or homophobia. This p.c. shit is going too far. To sweep our social faults under the rug and not deal with it, whether it be in a realistic or entertaining fashion is just ignorant.
-
Wow... tell that to my wife. The woman literaly goes into a depression when it's not on the air. She thinks it's the best written most interesting hour of television she has ever seen, and I sometimes have to agree with her.
-
Sopranos Deserves to win for that alone
-
As much as I try to watch the new Office, it never stops feeling strange and unnecessary. It's just a play-by-play ripoff from the title sequence onward. It's like listening to Dweevil Zappa play Frank Zappa. It's not that it's horrible, but why would you reward someone for going through the motions? Anyway, I think Curb and AD are two of the funniest shows of all time, but I really hope AD gets some extra attention from someone besides its own fanboys. It ended with its strongest season while Curb is the same as always, and has more chances to win against something less awesome. If nothing else, I want to see Will Arnett take something home, because that performance is just ridiculous, and I'd love to see his deep manly acceptance speech. Course, I would have also thrown out nods to Michael Cera, Jason Bateman, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor, Charlize Theron's guest spot, etc. etc........
-
...of its cast. While women are often portrayed as catty and manipulative, nearly every man on the show is a self-centered, bigoted bastard who put themselves in line with depression and substance abuse. Never once are we asked to feel sorry for these people at their worst moments, and only when they let up do Leary/Tolan ask us to give them their due. Otherwise, you're just misreading the show. And, for once on TV outside of DH or Sex/City, women are actually shown to be infintely smarter than the men on the show. What's to complain about?
-
Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars MAYBE, but do you really think the Emmys are going to acknowlegde Wonder Showzen? As if something as pompous and self important as an award show is going to praise something as wacked-out and anarchistic as WS. You sound about as clueless as one of those nerds who demanded Sin City win best picture.
-
SHermdawg amen on the PC stuff. also I cant wait until next week- what did you think was bad about the last rescue me? any way you can hint it knowing that I have seen it? I just ask because I actually enjoyed it. if there's no way to say without spoiling, then dont bother though.

He took what should have been a retarded twist and made it work 100%. And Jean Smart should have won for best MILF rack in a broadcast drama show about terrorism...
-
huh. ok I'll give you that they dropped the ball in the int. room. and I'll give you just about everything you said after that too (dude I didnt even REMEMBER Tim). I dont know though I think they covered how the Maggie-Sean situation was apropos in Janet and Tommy's conversation back at his place. I cant get into the stuff you said before that without spoilage, but I definitely disagree. Hopefully Herc does a Rescue Me TB in a couple days
-
Deserved more nominations, but the end of Season 2 started to get that late X-Files feeling, like the writers didn't exactly know where they were going. The season finale was good, but I'm not itching for Season 3. They say a major change is coming in Season 3 and that's good, because I'm not sure they could hold my attention much longer if the shows keeps going the way it is.
-
julie andrews showed her breasts?
-
oh God that was horrible. god damn you regina taylor
-
Completely. Tommy's confrontation scene was a complete letdown. If you're going to go the "give him a moving lecture" route, you actually have to make the lecture moving.
-
neither does anyone i know. the BEST 'awards' shows are irrelevant and self congratulatory. ones like this are downright odious. old media clinging on to the belief it means anything today.
-
And she doesn't have esteem issues, she's just not a crazy feminist fucktard like Regina Taylor. And Tommy banged an underage girl? Um...no, that never happened.
-
I thought you were talking about Tommy's daughter when you mentioned the underage sex. You were referring to the "Duct Tape" girl? She was young, but I don't remember her being underage. And honestly, that one scene back at her place, was one of the best comedic moments all season. And what was disgusting about it? You don't like it when a guy goes downtown?
-
Where's all your outrage for the scene where Shiela raped Tommy? Oh, that's right, it happened to a guy so I guess it's okay.
-
I wouldn't object. Wait, if I wouldn't object, then it wouldn't be rape would it? Oh well, you know what I mean.
-
...moving lecture in the interrogation room, it wouldn't have fit his personality or his grief at all. For once, Tommy is nearly speechless. For once, violence doesn't come naturally to him. It was played awkwardly, but I wholeheartedly believe that the scene took pity on him, as it also turned him into a different man.
-
As that everything he said was pretty lame. I can completely agree that he didn't know what to say but the "life is worth $$$" and "prison sucks" bits were just weak. And that scene didn't bother me nearly as much as the funeral/wedding.
-
Every sitcom on tv has a bumbling, sex crazed, usually fat husband and a sensible attract wife. It's the same with commercials. Men are always the idiots on TV.
-
If you saw the women on Rescue Me, you'd know what I was talking about.
-
So you have a point, but I mean real-life smart, not sitcom smart.
-
Scorsese lost the Emmy for the Dylan documentary.
Cloris Leachman beat Kate Winslet for Guest Actress in a Comedy.
Patrick Stewart AND Ben Stiller lost.
If that's a sign of things to come, I don't know if I want to watch... -
the other half, not so much (y'know, all the Charlie stuff)
-
for saying things whitey (and african-americany) isnt ready to hear
-
wtf happened?!!! HE"S AMAZING!!!
-
Yes, but the terribly under rated How I Met Your Mother won TWO Emmys. I think it may have been up against AD in one of those though unfortunately.
-
And yes, Hugh Laurie is the most atrocious snub of the night. Also, where's Gandolfini?
-
Emmy just loves to do that farewell shit. Look at Raymond winning last year. That was shit.
-
24, fine; Curb over Arrested??? Are you shitting me?; Lisa Kudrow??? what???; Piven over Will Arnett???; Hercules you CRAZY!!! Here's hoping Henry Ian Cusick wins for Lost, I guess it'll be it's only win for this season. Which I guess I'm not bothered by, as good as it was, it doesn't need recognition this year. But jesus, to leave out BSG, the best show on television, is pure madness, heresy. DAMN THEM FOR THEIR 11 SEC NOMINATION!
-
I enjoyed the last year (granted it was no seasons one through four), and it would be good for Sorkin and him starting a new show, in spite of him not having written for it. What I would be upset with is if Martin Sheen won, as he was maybe in five episodes this year, of course, with the new voting system, the voters may not even be aware of this. Whitford deserved the nomination!
-
unless he's gay"....and I thought your statements about Rescue Me were moronic. We've reached a new strata of ignorance.
-
Or at least date rape. I forget her name, but she has wanted to have sex with Tommy for awhile. He did not want to have sex with her. She drugged him with something that made him fall asleep and viagra. Then she fucked him while he was blacked out. Sounds like rape to me.
-
then the voters made a huge mistake. COME ON!
-
It went out on top, one of maybe a handful of shows I can remember. 24 is due for one, but this was one of its weaker seasons.
-
You're right Regina. You're not a feminist, you're a fucking retard.
-
And if Joan Rivers forced me to have sex with her, I'd call it rape.
-
come on...McShane doesn't get a nomination? hell, i thought Gerald McRaney might get a nomination, too. one of the very best shows on tv, and it gets nada. i don't get it.
-
i think season 2 was included in last year's emmys, and season 3 will fall under the jurisdiction of next year's. (i'm basing this on entourage's noms, which saw season 1 material nominated last year and season 2 material this year)
-
"Hos are hos. Bitches are bitches. All girls are hos." - Dirty Cranford
-
unless he's gay." Now I don't really care about the Emmys, but that is the FUCKING DUMBEST THING I'VE EVER "HEARD" ANYONE SAY. PERIOD. (and I have to listen to myself all day). Whoever said that should kill themselves, now.
-
That's right, bitches, the year of 24 is upon us.
-
By the wife on "King of Queens". I've never liked her until now. Fantastic job at just making him look like an idiot, and insulting the type of person he is.
-
Get a fuckin clue with your "no such thing as a woman raping a man" shit. Really, are you trying to look like a fucking idiot? Or does it just come so naturally for you?
-
Borrowed liberally from the LA Times' GoldDerby website...Grab your beer, water, or whatever else you like drinking and take a sip everytime...*Conan makes fun of the nominating process (two gulps for a Lauren Graham, Hugh Laurie, Edie Falco or James Gandolfini reaction shot)*Someone makes an Ellen Burstyn joke...*An actor thanks the writers or producers of their show for not killing them off..yet...*the "get off the stage already music" starts playing during an acceptance speech...*a non-nominated actor cracks a joke about not being nominated...*NBC shows a promo for Studio 66 on the Sunset Strip...*someone makes a political comment during their acceptance speech...*an actress wearing a very revealing outfit is shown...*Conan or one of the presenters laughs at their own joke...*a winner says they didn't expect to win...*Conan jokes about the length of the ceremony...*Conan makes a Tom Cruise joke....*A drunken presenter or winner appears on stage...*The mention of Ellen Burstyn is met by laughter...*The mention of Ellen Burstyn is met by groans or boos...*A presenter mispronounces somebody's name...*-Joan Rivers mispronounces anyone's name during the red carpet show on TV Guide Channel right now.

for those "rules". Triple shot if Burnstyn wins!
-
is out of his fucking mind!
"Dog is always cool"
He's in his own other world -
is awesome! And so is "The Office" theme song!
-
getting shoved to the TV Guide channel is the funniest shit ever, but her robotic body just keeps on trucking.
-
Where's the fucking Emmy for THAT?
-
Brad Garrett. That should be as fireworks-y as the Aaron Spelling tribute might be, if mom and estranged daughter are there on the same stage.
-
Lasts longer than her performance. Do I get a second on this? ;)
-
R U FUCKING WITH ME?!?!
-
That's a BRILLIANT man-law "paulh"
-
I'm glad to see us three will be sufficiently drunk. Pam's nipple was no lie....SPOILERS....pink!
-
would it be if Burstyn went up there, said "thanks" and walked off all in 6 seconds?! She'd be my new favorite person
-
Don't you think it'd be better if her speech was longer than the work itself though!
-
Then whither Paula Abdul, yes?
-
I'm really really torn over which one of those would be funnier! Incidentally, I'm going to drink every time I have a dirty thought about Jaime Pressley
-
William Shatner
-
a watermelon under there - and William Shatner/Denny Crane/James T. Kirk only bones 18 and older women. Huzzah!
-
that the first one who finds jenna ficsher's boob on youtube post a link here? i was in the bathroom :(
-
I NEEEEED to see that tit
-
It was on E!'s coverage, not NBC's, and it's not like the whole thing fell down, it was a fairly loose top, and it was barely visible, yet visible nontheless :)
-
fuck that no talent floating head
-
Take a shot for those too.
-
(i swear that pun was not intended) the man is nominated for a fucking award, they should ask him about something besides celebrity gossip
-
I need to get back to sitting 6 inches from the TV! That is all.
-
Paula is bat-shit
-
This is one of the better "host must work his way through several of the nominated pieces to get to the show" montages I've ever seen
-
Althought the sets are probably gone...
-
She must not be winning.
-
"...it contains the shattered dreams of four other people." :P
-
is Conan O'Brien!
-
the definition of overrated...news flash - the short speech music!!!
-
and already one of the 3 people i give a shit about lost
-
I wish he had been there to cart wheel or something.
-
No ITZIN? NO SHAT??? WTF??? TEH EMMY'S SUCK!!!
-
Piece a shit network! I only watched Conan's musical number dissing NBC. Then took it off. I'm boycotting the show. How can it not be in HD? Are we going backwards here people. What a fucking disgrace NBC is!
-
show in HD.
-
Suck it Emmy Committee
-
Should have won it. when is he going to get nominated again?
-
don't die Bob Newhart!
-
WTF??????
-
I call Bullshit. Jean Smart should have won. Either her or one of the two Grey's chicks.
-
rofl
-
Smart had that award locked up. She was one of the few bright spots this year on 24. OMG, they jumped the gun a bit on the "get the fuck off the stage" music.
-
Piven deserves it.
-
AICN nerds are crying ANARCHY!
-
One of the funniest characters in the history of comedic television, and nothing to show for it...BAH.
-
But it's better than Hayes or Cryer. They could just give it to Piven NEXT YEAR though.
-
I soooooo wanted Will Arnett to win that - and so DIDN'T want Piven to win
-
Kiefer will NOT win. I bet those elderly Emmy voting bastards gave it to Sheen.
-
I can't complain.
-
Yes. Fucking. Sir.
-
they got one right. looks like i'll be able to go to sleep happy tonight
-
I will have lost all faith in humanity. Piven deserved it, even if he gets on my nerves, but Kiefer is THE man
-
He wasn't as brilliant this season as he was previously. And no nom for Jason Bateman is just an injustice. One more thing, if Kudrow wins for The Comeback u think HBO will bring it back?
-
...every time they mention Bob. I wonder if Shatner will lower his appearance fee in TO next weekend... but then I won't be going there to see him anyway.
-
So the novelty of her speech becomes moot.
-
I do. It would be in 1080i. I saw the Oscars like that. Comparing it to regular TV was like night and day. Once you watch HD. You get spoiled. It makes TV new and exciting again. It's like being right there. It's amazing. Regular TV looks blurry and . the color bleeds and peoples skin looks yellow. It's awful!
-
Though in this nomination, I honestly have no clue who deserved it more or not. Still, bravo to her nonetheless.
-
Absolutely hilarious as the grandmother on Malcolm in the Middle. One of the funniest characters ever, IMO. Everything out of her mouth was pure gold.
-
If I didn't love Sorkin, I'd be pissed. I jsut wish they'd mention "Sports Night" rather than just "West Wing"
-
but jon deserved it tho
-
On Telemundo, The Colbert Reporto Gigante won!!!
-
Even Jon wanted Stephen to get this one...don't worry, he will.
-
just because he'd gloat about it so much on the show.
-
One of your ilk won. Congrats. Score a victory for the cable equivalent of college radio.
-
Flying out the window because of wind? Come on...
-
but Buckland is from Sports Night, and that's why I care. Not cause of any Earl affiliation.
-
seriously thats as lame as the "hand it to you in your seat" oscar ceremony
-
Pam is looking fine tonight!!!
-
Earl just CLEANED up
-
COME ON!!!
-
My Name Is Earl is OK, but nowhere near Arrested Development.
-
I like Earl, but I love AD
-
What is appealing about this piece of garbage? I've tried to like it. Office, Entourage would have been nice, but AD deserved it for it's fantastic, concluding episode. They gave the Emmy to the pilot. Clearly they were familair with the callbacks! If SOBs had been nominated, it would win.
-
Patrick Duffy's greatest role...yes, it's true
-
Earl beats out The Office and AD? No fucking way.
-
or better known as "i'm a dumbass actor, and i'm a machine that can actually play good games"
-
Damn right, mate. Don't you hate that they seem to have forgotten that show ever existed? "...a park all covered with cheese." "I told many, many people." Just a perfect mix of talent, writing and directing. And it's still better than any other comedy currently on TV.
-
that was a cool accepTance speech! for losing my hair....funny :)
-
Was fucking brilliant. That final episode turned everything we knew and loved about the show around but was satisfying. I will miss Arrested and will always feel bad for getting caught up in the show too late.
-
Finally, someone disses God on an awards show. Laughed my ass off.
-
Also, Sports Night is not forgotton. The DH writers still write little references on their show because Huffman is on there.
-
needs to be destroyed immediately
-
just rushed out there after giving Cloris Leachman the ole one-two in the back...I know it
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one that loved the hell out of that line..."It's a vicious circle." "It just goes around and around." "That's what makes it vicious." "And a circle."
-
I thought he was still recovering from that stroke.
-
I'd tune in, but I can't stand anything about that show. Rich bitch drama -- just call it Dynasty with pretensions and be done with it.
-
Dick Clark isn't dead, they're just honoring him
-
are fucking Emmy Gods. That's all you have to know how bad the emmy's are.
-
truly a legend
-
a standing O for the Clarkmiester!
He is on his last legs though...
-tear- -
is that wrong?
-
Killed me. Killed my wife. Never saw the next minute of that episode, was trying to grab a breath. Just perfect. And it's one of the only times that a big guest star (William H Macy) comes in and makes a show even better. And it developed the "network fuck you" that AD finished with: "Anyone who can't make money off SportsNight..." Brilliant show.
-
seeing Dick like that or having to look at and listen to Manilow
-
but what if Dick Clark died right there? I'm sorry...I love Dick, but I had to say it
-
Julia Louis Dreyfuss is EXTREMELY bangable
-
he'll be around a bit longer
-
We have much to discuss. You'll appreciate Studio 60 as much as me surely. And yes Julia Louis Dreyfus gets hotter with age. Watc hher in Seinfeld's last season with her hair down. It's ridiculous.
-
didn't know the details, but it was just shocking to see him like that
-
...will the afterparty be that Keifer, Denis Leary and Jeremy Piven go to? Damn, that is going to be some heavy drinking. You can hear Lindsay doing her coke in preparation from here in DC.
-
like $2 budget
-
now she's bangable!
-
...simply does not belong on the stage with Dick. I don't know where Manilow should be but if it makes DC happy... well ok then.
-
wtf?! MAnilow??????
-
Death to Emmy. Kneel before Colbert!
-
wake me up
-
Manilow over Colbert, sweet jesus!
-
That is gay, any other nominee is better than him. why couldn't craig ferguson win?
-
kareem...now thats original....wtf?manilow??!!!
-
It will have to be surgically removed. I mean really now ...you've gone too far Krusty!!
-
If Morgan just said, "I'm nigger." He could get away with it.
-
I really hate the Daily Show and everything associated with it.
-
Brother from a different mother. :-) Just out of interest, any idea what the hell happened to Sabrina Lloyd? And, yes, I'm psyched for Studio 60. Couldn't be any happier that Sorkin and Schlamme are back in the entertainment world -- I just hope there's a reference to CSC or SportsNight in there.
-
About time they won something after Itzin was fucking robbed.
-
woohoo!
-
Alan Ball deserved that for their fucking tear-shedding finale. It was maybe the best last episode ever. The directing on that episode of 24 was probably identical for every other.
-
The season finale was awesome. It had a lot of throwbacks to Planet of the Apes. Good stuff.
-
That show felt like it ended 2 years ago. Oh cool, 24 got its first nomination!
-
will only begin after American Idol and its clones are banished from my tv screen
-
Give the emmy to Sopranos for writing. Provided I haven't seen it, so I'm biased. But really, it was better than the last SFU? Anyone?
-
Losing to Barry Manilow. Even splendider. Suck on that, hipsters!
-
I missed the first ten minutes.. let me guess, that sad sack Alda won, didn't he?
-
Cannot coexist with reality TV.
-
In fact, I think it's frigging hilarious that Manilow beat him out. But I've got a problem with the team behind that show, so I'm seriously biased.
-
And was hot as hell. Josh Charles was also amazing and is doing nothing now. I'd like to hope both end up on Studio 60, or the inevitable Malina appearance happens. I'm really hating these Emmys...
-
white people in a mcdonalds commercial? i thought they stopped using white people in their commercials years ago?
-
Aug 27, 2006 8:22:43 PM CDT
Knew it. Emmy voters, and award show voters in general
by cotton mcknight
are so damn predictable. Why do you think Alan Alda won? Was it because they felt bad that The West Wing is gone or is because they think he's so dang old, he will never get another chance to nab that 8th statue?
-
presentation earlier. I don't wanna miss RENO.
-
Shocking, huh? No, it's not really, is it? The moment when Logan was going to kill himself was superb acting. But nothing. Gutted.
-
I know this isn't the spot for this but if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it. I've been searching but can't find the script online for Wolf Creek. Can anyone help me find it? Thank you
-
will it suck?
-
All of this bitching from me could have been summed up by me just saying "Eli's coming" at 7:59PM.
-
well they have that fat asian disney tv movie kid, so forget heroes
-
COCKSUCKER!
-
i thought it just got canned
-
wheres the snipers when you need them?
-
...which makes it really odd they dropped off the face of the planet. I remember hearing that Josh Charles didn't like the work he was doing post SportsNight -- Sabrina Lloyd, no idea. And, yeah, she was blazing hot. God. Yeah. I need a moment.
-
she's gonna be screeching and drinking for an hour
-
But if they were in the theater they would have taken out Simon Cowell earlier.
-
just shut up and do gizmo!
-
that blonde girl from Remember The Titans will most likely make us wish someone better was cast as Rogue in the X-flicks.
-
when she always spoke about sex and being horny on the show. And why is this Deal or No Deal thing going on for so long.
-
At least he is on Daily Show's staff still to get an Emmy. Like if Earl somehow wins for best comedy, the AD writers who migrated to the cast will get Emmys.
-
Aug 27, 2006 8:33:09 PM CDT
let me get this right.. the acadamy awards.............
by cotton mcknight
gave an acadamy award to itself? UNBELIEVABLE!
-
which one will rise above the rest?
-
the emmys gave an award to the oscars
-
Subtle difference. Academy Awards and Emmys are not the same.
-
if you still get spyware or viruses in this day and age, you are a retard
-
Best moment for Paquin as Rogue? Posters on bus shelters when X3 was released. Hot. In the movies? Yeesh. And by the way, dude -- only 4 more months to go until we start arguing about 24 again. You going to be there or did last season burn you out?
-
Both will do well probably, and one is a pure comedy, and other is technically a drama, but Studio 60 will be getting all the Emmys.
-
...given the shocking state Tracey MOrgan appeared to be in when he presented I'm going to guess that Studio 60 will win. Of course, that's assuming I ignore the fact that Sorkin in soooooo much more talented than Tina Fey.
-
a show with a snl cast finally making it tho
-
he seems to have a habit of doing bios ?
-
MAKE IT A SHOW!!! DO IT!!!
-
would you believe this is the first awards show ive seen in awhile?
-
I guess he is funny, but really, over Carell?
-
have they got something against the even stephen team?...but monks speech is funny
-
Steve Carell should have won that.
-
...they need to put Andre Braugher on 24. Can you imagine him and Keifer in an intense-off? Man. Hey, CTU even has a 'box'! Actually, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Damn.
-
but I like Shaloub too, and thank god it wasnt Kevin James
-
Monk and DH go into all these award shows as comedies. I don't watch either, but they don't strike me as comedies, but as dramas. Are they actually funny enough to be comedies or are the producers terrified that people will realize their shows won't cut it as dramas against other series?
-
And I never do that. That's the one thing that saved this night by being completely awful (And in my opinion, the Alda win was nice.)
-
the ad seems to make it look like a comedy
-
anybody remember him from "tales of a gold monkey"? that show was cool beyond belief
-
I don't think it would really fit in the drama category.
-
has sealed the fate of Newhart!
-
and seeing the angels together again...cool. jaclyn smith is still hot!
-
...made so many television shows that have or will soon be adapted into mediocre comedy films.
-
...remember Collins as "Decker-Unit". Time to make toast.
-
It's most definitely a drama. Biggest hint of this being that it's an hour long, which is almost never for comedies. Sure, it has Perry, and other funny people, and it takes place at a COMEDY show. But it will be submitted for drama, I'm almost positive. Make no mistake, it will probably be one of the funniest shows next year, but West Wing had hilarious moments in it's first four seasons, and Sports Night was a comedy, yet it got incredibly serious. Balancing the two is why Sorkin is great. I just hope he gets to write every episode again, and the network hasn't forced him to take a step down, because of the West Wing problems. IMDB has a lot of staff writers listed for it...
-
i find the sopranos and deadwood funnier than most comedies on tv anyway
-
to make an appearance
-
and don't forget...he also made the american president, a really good movie...i have big faith in studio 60...
-
commence nerds
-
but infernal affairs is a tough act to top :(
-
is top notch. And its directed by martin scorcese, so theres high hopes for it.
-
No wonder he got an invite to the show tonight...
-
fake news like fox news harharhar
-
I LOST TO MANILOW!!!
-
Wolverine I could have lost to!
-
"I lost to Barry Manilow!"
-
Nothing wholesome and good can have so many teeth. Dear lord have mercy.
-
and that the audience applauds. And also how Colbert acknowledges losing to Manilow.
-
we need more snipers!
-
"I lost to Barry Manilow!" Haysbert and Tambor looked like they were just losing it in the crowd.
-
CSI: MINNEAPOLIS
-
Seriously, he doesn't do TV and he hasn't acted in 10 years.
-
Colbert rules the fucking earth.
-
COLBERT RULES THE FUCKING EARTH.
-
now thats gonna be a cool flick
-
Flockhart has a new show, doesn't she? Wow. Way to drop down the pecking order, Harrison.
-
Colbert rules the entire known universe.
-
maybe some Calista Flockhart ties? I haven't seen her there though...
-
...try dealing with the people he works with. If Colbert rules the earth, we're all fucked.
-
boobs!
-
Nice, Academy...
-
Maybe you two retarded anti-Colbert Talk Backers will now actually watch his show for yourself to behold his vast, unmitigated genius. KNEEL BEFORE COLBERT!
-
Just watched Under Seige 2 the other night and she was screaming hot in that, too. Please tell me she was 18 in that. Yes, it was late. Yes, I was drunk. Yes, I saw it in a theater. What, uh, no, I...never mind.
-
sounded like him...
-
Nice to immediately call someone who disagrees with your opinion retarded, whether you mean it or not. Really cool.
-
They're still a couple y'know.
-
bummer
-
Grow some balls and don't be so offended, pussy.
-
Sad.
-
...for the only way it's metaphysically possible not to worship The Colbert Report is to not have ever actually seen it. I therefore congratulate you on your impending enlightenment! (It airs on Comedy Central Mon.-Thu. at 11:30/10:30pm CST, and repeats several times a day.) And yes, I am indeed cool, thank you for noticing!
-
so many greats died this last year
-
You heard it here first.
-
TIREDPM....YOU'RE ON NOTICE! :)
-
Fuck you. 24 is a fantastic show, Kiefer is a great actor, and You're a total dick for not agreeing with my opinion. Settled?
-
I actually emjoyed the first couple of months of the show but got tired of the persona and thought it became more obnoxious as time went on. Maybe that means he's doing his job brilliantly -- I just find it grating. So I choose not to watch it any more and that's that. I actually found his appearance of the show tonight to be funny, so maybe it's better than when I stopped watching. And, DirtyRatBastard? TiredPM is Australian for your mother's pussy and it stinks like old fish. You're welcome.
-
in the "A Little thing called murder" title. And Helen Mirren said tit! and ass! she's so awesome! i want to bone her.
-
Put on a quarter of a pound since I last saw her.
-
How can someone on an episodic show, like Law and Order, do a better job than someone in a continuing storyline like Janney or Conroy? Is she that good? Or, the academy just doesn't care about continuity?
-
i swear, kiefer better win or ill kill you all
-
so there are no nominations for BSG at all? thats bloody murder!
-
its almost time for Deadwood..oh and Bob Newhart will die
-
But the acting noms are pretty wack.
-
goes on one hell of a rant when he wins. We are just mere moments from The Kief doing his best unintentional impression of the final scene of 24's season three finale!!!
-
Even though Sheen doesn't deserve it this year, or deserve to be in "Lead Actor" this year.
-
brought to you by Just FOr Men tm
-
Wow. That salvages the night a lot.
-
Messing lost.
-
was that intentional or what? if so, i never knew saying "um um cough cough" could be so hilarious
-
they are opening it as i type, and the emmy goes to FUCKING JACK BAUER
-
That's a bold stand, supporting Debra Messing. In other news, it's hilarious that the creator of Dreyfuss's sitcom has the last name Lizer.
-
Kiefer won. OMG.
-
Kiefer
-
wait, what do you mean he wasnt nominated?! oh. well then this is all complete horseshit
-
Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!
-
Krause knew he didn't have it, unfortunately. Maybe I'm harbouring resentment against Keifer because my comedy pilot rested on whether he would guest star on it, and he didn't.
-
No one can match the Gravitas.
-
Damn spelling. About damn time. DAMMIT! ___KNEEL___ before Bauer
-
The best of that group, which isn't saying a lot. Congrats, 24 fans.
-
Messing is excellent.
-
She should have been nominated for her guest work on AD. The Emmys have sucked tonight, but at least I should be happy that sentimental wins like Hayes and Messing didn't win...
-
Messing Lost? is that some kind've weird subversive humor, mister man?
-
Well done, Kiefer - and well deserved. Bravo.
-
Must be a geek thing
-
was just in a frozen dinner commercial.
-
comedy gold!
-
and the Comedy Emmys are just gonna be flooded with LUCKY LOUIE nominees next year
-
There is a God. "Office"!!!!
-
Office really did deserve it.
-
to see the office getting its due...hell its already outlived the original uk version
-
Annette Bening? damn, cant get much more relevant than that
-
Yes, I love it!!! ___KNEEL___
-
nnnooooooooooooooo 24 nooooooooo
-
Glad Keifer won for 24. For a second, I thought Sheen'd get a series finale award. Still, I'd rather have seen Leary get it. Oh, and was I the only guy that saw Itzin chugging a beer?
-
Obviously previous years were better. Well, a sub-par evening. Good night folks.
-
This is unfathomably awesome. MEGA-GAVITAS!!!
-
It won! awesome!
-
The Emmy's didn't suck as much as I expected. Next time, don't fuck up the nominations.
-
THIS is the guy you are all rooting for? and what the fuck is Brian Grazer doin up there? he's involved?! and thats one of the designing women chicks! how lame.
-
He is probably pissed. the show wins an emmy, and he has been killed off.
-
loved 4/5 of that category, but that's the one i was rooting for. i'm indifferent on 24. sopranos was the only show in that bunch i watch, and i didn't expect it to win.
-
And 24 is the conduit...The only show better is Rockford, and he ain't on TV anymore.
Jack Bauer owns your ass like Clear Channel... -
Didn't see Chloe.
-
Now let's have 24 v. BSG and see who's the real best drama...
-
Good season, deserved the recognition. Bring on Season 6, guys, we're all waiting for it.
-
Did Don Knotts win the Death-o-Meter????
-
Jeremy Piven's schtick got old at the end of season 1. Johnny Drama has always been the best thing about that show. I want him to be on that stage, thank all the writers of Viking Quest and scream "Victory!!!"
-
Meh. Better than Geena Davis, I guess. And Kristen Bell called; she wants her Emmy now.
-
0-fer. There is a god.
-
It's more a misunderstanding of the category than anything else. People treat that category like it has to go to a one-off special. They need some new categories to make things clear.
-
if Victoria still looks pretty good.
-
He was going up against some stiff competition, but I think he had a chance to win. On one of my local Milwaukee, WI channels in the news they had a snippet of how Itzen and his family are from Burlinton, WI. His pop still lives there too. I still remember some of his guest appearances in Star Trek DS9 and TNG?. They even mentioned that Tony Shalhoub is from Green Bay, which is evidenced by imdb.com. ___KNEEL___
-
Fuck Sopranos, stupid craptacular season.
-
Boring winner, skip, commerical, skip, cut out the crap it should take about 30 mins.
-
'I'll say this once. Go screw yourself, idiot. If I ever cross paths with you, I swear I outta do a Bauer throat choke on you.' Sure you would. Just be careful not to spill your fucking Chee-tos while you're Kung-Fu-ing me to death. Oh, and please, show some sportsmanship... don't use your masturbating hand. Give me a fighting chance! ' 24' is for juvenile dicklickers. They should only have Emmy Awards during years that 'The Wire' is airing, and send everyone else home. That is all.
-
Congrats to Kiefer, but Leary's really been hitting out of the park this season. Next year. danielkirkland, just wanted to chime in on the Sports Night love. Just watched the whole series again on DVD recently, and damn - that's the best half hour of television since MASH. Amazing, fucking brilliant stuff. Too bad it only ran two seasons, but what an incredibly satisfying ending. There are very few shows I come away from feeling...fulfilled. Never saw West Wing, don't know if it's my thing or not, but I do know Martin Sheen is batshit insane, cause I met him when I was in college. And oh yeah, fuck the Emmys!
-
To bad it probably won't even be nominated. Yet something mindless like 24 wins best drama...is that show really so dramatic?
-
Does anybody have a baseball bat?
-
24 finally wins for Best Drama - should have won in its first year but to pull Season 5 off and make it as good as it was after the mess of Season 4 means the award is worthy - and it was the best of the list. Keifer finally winning is cool as well, he had plenty of moments to shine this year (reacting to Palmer's death, holding Tony as he died, Kim's rejection, the final showdown between himself and Logan) so good on him. Besides, how many of the other nominees can steer a plane using the overhead wires in the luggage compartment? Sucks that Itzin (who I loved before the twist - his every squirm and gesture were calculated to a fine art) and Smart lost though, they were a highlight of a cast all on the top of their game. Was a shame Steve Carrell missed out but The Office winning is very well deserved - and who'd have thought we'd find ourselves here when it was first announced the US was remaking a hit British sitcom? Next year had better be all about The Sopranos - not just because it should win automatically (this season was solid but lacklusture and didn't deserve the win) but because, considering all the talent, pedigree and set-ups involved, the final season and the conclusion had better be something very, very special indeed. I'm talking television history - the bar has been set that high by the show. Studio 60 has plenty of time to win. Oh, and Futurama for Best Animated Show in 2008!
-
Aug 27, 2006 11:57:24 PM CDT
Now that 24 has won, you fools can all like it now, eh?
by herculesisapussy
Because Emmy Awards mean validation. Now 24 is "legitimate." What an exciting day for geeks everywhere. You're all taking this shit way too seriously. It's a Hollywood jerk-off festival, not something that recognizes quality.
-
I mean, COME ON.
-
WHO?!?!
-
but easy mistake. Fuck denis leary-smug overrated dick. Cool for Jeremy Piven but bullshit that Kudrow didn't win for the Comeback. Fuck all the rest. 90% of the shows nominated are fucking worthless.
-
of Victoria Principal for some reason hehe sigh...
-
He already seemed to be in the bag. Did anyone else notice? But anyway...woo Office, woo 24, and woo Kiefer! DAMMIT!
-
in the intro was the funniest shit ever. I'd have posted something sooner, except I was watching the show with actual humans, and not my computer.
-
I knew it was in the bag for The Office, as soon as Herc picked Curb.
-
And so was Shatner, fuck Alda.
-
Come on!
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-7Vc5tcYis
-
..Now I'm going to be humming 'Do You Take it in the Ass' at work all day tomorrow. Ah well, it was a shitty job anyway.
-
Great fucking win.
-
That dumb bitch does local news here in NYC. First for WB11 then for Fox5. On both channels she is a bullshit gossip reporter who occassionally does dumb morning show bullshit and flirts with celebrities. I'm surprised she was a guest reviewer.
-
Aug 28, 2006 3:09:36 AM CDT
Here's a list of shows that did not win SQUAT from Emmy
by the wrong guy
this year:
Deadwood.
Extras.
Arrested Development.
The Shield.
Six Feet Under.
Lost
Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Pathetic. -
When some over-nominated actors win they make a face as if they did not want to be nominated and win or they are totally shocked. Gimme a break. Some people are fucking greedy. Stockard Channing should have NOT submitted her name for Emmy contention. And others should have done the same. Follow Oprah's example, she doesn't even put herself in the running for best Talk Show Host. She's won like 100 of them, bitch has nothing to prove anymore. Also maybe this Emmy shut out will light a fire under ABC's ass and make them realize that they have to submit better episodes for each show and actor. If Felicity Huffman was submitted in the drama category, she could have easily won. She is the best thing about DH and did great work last season. Also Lost never deserves acting noms due to it being an ensemble really. So stop the harping Lost fans. And 24 is the shit. Way to go Mr. Sutherland. Ur people sure know how to put on an entertaining show, even if u can fly a 747 through it's plot holes.
-
..have in common? Their lady parnter on their shows keep winning trophies while they`re left in the gutter..even though Meloni, Duchovny, and Raiser have always been the heart and souls of the respective shows and why it was so good. Meloni has done acting tour de forces one after another like you wouldn`t believe. Fuck Jack Bauer.
-
Seriously, how is Larry David not stealing money? I guess this is where TV has come, when someone can just be an asshole for 30 minutes and it's considered comedy gold. Gad. Oh, and shame on not giving anything to House/Hugh Laurie. See, that's called "acting."
-
Aug 28, 2006 10:11:23 AM CDT
Curb IS gold, and where's the love for The SHIELD?!
by cletus van damme
I cannot understand how the Shield wasn't even nominated after last season, especially the season finale.
-
And give the 24/Lost comparisons a rest already. Season 2 of 24 was HORRIBLE and while 3 ended strong, the first half of the season meandered more than Lost ever has. Lost has some of the LEAST "making it up as they go along" vibe of any show I've ever seen.
-
The first 8 episodes or so of season 3 of 24 are some of my favorites in the entire series. I think Salazar was such an awesome villian. The season didn't go south until the middle arc (I think).
-
There really must be nothing good to watch. I'm glad '24' and 'Lost' are the only shows I waste my time on.
-
Though I should add that it isn't a waste of time.
-
The Office was a most deserved win.
As soon as Herc made the pick for Curb (no disrespect to Curb. Lurv that show) I knew the winner was going to be The Office or AD.
Herc is like Jeff Wells, whatever pics he makes, just make the opposite, and you'll come out ahead!
Now, let's see how long this one stays on? -
please get rid of this BOW DOWN bullshit, its making you all look like fuckin retards. go watch a real show. (psst! The Wire starts next week)
-
that was crap. Mostly bad nominees, bad winners, technical glitches, too much NBC pimping, and lame writing. The intro was mildly amusing until the Dateline bit. I'm sure many of you have it among your must watch shows, along with Lost, the Office, 24, etc. that deserve a place in bits like that. Yeah, right. Colbert/Stewart, and the Braugher/24 wins were the only redeeming moments all night.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8ba4VA0Qds Anyway, I notice the ONLY hate I've ever seen spewed at S.5 of 24 is in AICN talkbacks. That's it. Nowhere else. Kinda telling, don't cha think?

My apologies Herc for the accusation of deletion.
My powers of observation are clearly phenomenal.
And hopefully you know all jabs are meant out of respect and playfulness. -
Any idea where I can find a video of the opening sketch. I thought maybe I couldn't find it because of all the "insensitive plane crash" bullshit, but true to media's typical hypocrisy, the beginning of the sketch with the LOST parody is all I can find on-line. I thought that opening sketch was some pretty funny shit. If anyone knows where I can find the entire thing, please post.
-
Actually, networks do not submit episodes for their own shows. The producers submit episodes for their respectives shows and the actors do the same. And in many cases, actors do not even submit their own names to be eligible for nominations, most often publicists/managers do. A few years back there was hoopla over the fact that Tim Allen (or Paul Reiser I forget which) wasn't nominated and they found out someone from his camp forgot to submit the paperwork.

THATS RIGHT YOU COCKSUCKING FUCKWITS! KIEFER FUCKING WON!! 24 FOR THE FUCKING WIN! FUCK ALL OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS, FUCKING AWESOME !!! FUCK FUCKING YES BITCH!
-
the show is absolutely terrible.
I can't wait for it to get cancelled. the third season will be its last. it was losing viewers quicker as fast as joey last season and at what that show costs to make the network will can it after it slumps to an all new ratings low. worst show in the history of television. I would rather they brought bakc renegade. -
Thank God.

... is a joke and you know it. If season 1 had it, would have been deserved. But season 5 (and 4 for that matter) sucked hard. 24 jumped the shark log time ago. It might have got the best comedy award, but drama ? come on, boys, you know that's bullshit. Logan Palpatine. Bauer pilots a 747 boeing with a belt. Crappy First Lady. Incoherent narration. Stupid cliffhanger which wont't be solved... BULLSHIT. 24 is a parody of itself. The one and only show that deserved a REAL drama award was SFU and it's not even negociable. This show was simply awesome. No other could match its writing, its directing, and its acting. Krause, Hall, Conroy, Ambrose, Rodriguez, St Patrick, Jenkins, Griffiths : those girls and boys deserve an Emmy. And they give us what : a nodd for Yitzin ? Come on. Load of crap. Split screen is not even usefull now. It's just a fuckin' toy they use to show phone conversation. Crappy show. Bring on season 1, drazens, terri's death and then we'll tack.
-
...for pointing out the obvious about Curb. If it weren't for people jonesing for Seinfeld, that show would have been canceled long ago. At least Luck Louie has actually made me laugh.
-
incidentally, HARRY- BEST. ANIMATION. EVER.
-
most weeks? Even when it was up against Idol, one of the biggest shows of last season. I'll admit, they did get clobbered in reruns, which is why they're not doing them this year. We get it, you don't like the show. But when you pretend it's a bomb and make statements that are demonstrably false, well...it just makes you look like a jackass. Sorry to give you the bad news, but MANY people like that "terrible" show. Better suck it up and learn to deal with it.
-
Beats Battlestar Galactica, a good day for thought-provoking, quality sci-fi!
-
Jane kaczmarek was amazing, just take a look at the show. she deserved a win. I think she has another chance next year though? anyway I used to think 'Malcolm' was a piece of shit, and, well, it was, but for some reason it kept getting funnier until by the end of it all it was legitimately funny. and 24 is the worst fucking show I've ever seen. ok, exaggeration, but jesus, it is unwatchable. the only time I could make myself watch (without laughing) is when Elisha used to be on because I want to suck on her tits. Kiefer is an actor I like, too. One of those times when I just dont get people.
-
DEADWOOD WAS INELIGIBLE FOR THE EMMYS THIS YEAR, SHIT-FOR-BRAINS! THE SECOND SEASON WAS NOMINATED LAST YEAR, AND THE THIRD SEASON WILL BE ELIGIBLE NEXT YEAR! Hopefully that will get the point across once and for al.
-
so someone please post links to (a) Conan's opening montage and (b) any alleged nipple slip involving Jenna Fischer. That is all.
-
TIA.
-
you took that all a bit personally. the ratings where down and if that continues it will get canned. same goes for every show but lost is very expensive. if the ratings fall much more it will get cancelled. same applies for every show ever made. season 2's ratings were down from season 1 and if they continue to fall it will get dropped. do you really want this lingering around for years and years...not giving any answers and juist turning into a bad version of itself like x files?
I loved the first season of lost but that second season was a load of shit. they are making this shit up as they go along and for that they can go and fuck themselves...one week something happens that is fucking huge and the next week forgotten about..all you need to do with lost is watch the first 5 minutesd of an episode and the last. the first to see how they handle the weeks cliffhanger and the laast 5 to see this weeks cluiffhanger..the middle 35 minutes is juts bullshit filler to get to the great twist/cliffhanger. the show is awful and I hope it gets the boot. -
Or at least close.
-
and those cocksuckers better vote for it.

Stop! This is the AICN Police! Step away from the crack pipe SLOWLY. ;) http://tinyurl.com/3zwsx

but maybe people who watch the show should make that decision. not people who think they know what the show is from the preview ads. I say this because I used to be right where you were.
-
But my opinion is Law.
-
Word is, it's more "Indiana Jones" action/adventure and won't spend as much time with the mythology, meaning less flashbacks. And season two had some strong episodes, it's just it wasn't consistent. Mr.Eckol's episode, the Tailies episode, and the Planet of the Apes tribute (season finale) were awesome.
-
it was consistantly terrible!!
hardy har har...I will give it a chance but I really hated the second season. Especially the season finale. awful awful stuff. -

Learn to type, spell and use grammar properly, and people might start listening to you. Even when you make your own childish bias clear in your post! Actually forget that. When you imagine someone reading their words out, and you can only imagine them shouting it while frothing slightly at the mouth and getting in peoples faces? Kinda renders what they have to say irrelevant.
-
then people who point out other people"s spelling on a fucking message board as some kind of sign of their superiority?? no I don't think there is.- ^...;
What exactly is my bias? why would I be biased???????,_....() ^ - are you the opinion police aestheticity?? I didn;t realise I had to like season 2. I didn"t know the rule;s please forgive. I did'nt know it was illegal to be bitterly disappointed in a show you loved. you seem to think I am not allowed to dislike lost season 2...because I bash a bunch of shit out on a message board as it comes to mind..sorry I don'''t do a spell check...I just type what I think and don't worry about it too much. You see I am not an uptight asshole. I certainly wouldn't point it out to someone else myself..if they were to spell something incorrectly...because I couldn't give a fuck myself.I didn't realise that each post was being graded...you seem to care a great deal about the english used within my posts and I would appreciate it if you no longer respond to any of them as I obviously cannot contend with you and your superior intellect. IIn future just assume I agree with everything you post. In fact I won;t post anything until I see what you have to say about it. And tonight I will buy a thesaurus and a dictionary and I will make you proud./..I promise...please like me. I love you. Nothing turns me on more than someone with a superiority comples. I bet you are just the life of every party and a great person to be around in day to day life. Please can I have you r email there is so much you can teach me. Nouns and verbs....the correct use of a period....please I beg of you take me under you mighty wing and fly to be a place where I can become a better person. i wanna soar with the eagles but like the cuop says it is hard when you are surrounded by turkeys.I feel so low. I might hang myself. Is there any point? I don;t think there is. My day was going really well. and then this happens. Puts is all in perspective really. One minute you think you know what what and wheres where and BOOM you are sent hurtling straight back to earth. It stings a little bit and tastes funny in the back of my throat. is it because I am black? because if it is then i fooled you because I am not. but if i was would that be why?? because that would be wrong. you are a racist. and that disgusts me...as a black man. where was I??
Oh yeah lost season 2 was bitterly disappointing to me. I really enjoyed the first season but I felt the second one really "lost" its way. -
Oh well, at least I didn't misspell "consistent".

Please slappy don't chew me out. :P

Kick ass! IM glad 24 won. The show is fun as hell. Its Die Hard for a full tv season. I agree witht he guys who dissed Lost. That show got old fast. If it goes too much longer i dont think anyone will give a damn anymore. Check out this awesome politically incorrect review website. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do

I was just pointing out that your statement was simply wrong. Sure, Lost will get cancelled if it gets bad ratings, and sure, it is expensive so it needs higher ratings than some shows. Ratings dropped, but that was expected, since first season it was the #2 new show. A show can't keep that up, and doesn't need to. (did you miss the fact that Lost was still top 10 most weeks?) Personally, I hope the show runs four or five seasons and the writers can wrap it up when they want to. I'd be very surprised if next season was its last. Seriously, you compared the ratings to JOEY?
-
Thanks for the heads up. She should never have been asked to co-host the show - idiot. If we lose Ebert, is this all we have to look forward to? Other reviewers are either Plasticos or Egg Heads. I'd like to see Ben M on TCM take a stab.

Nip/Tuck is consistently one of the most thought-provoking shows on televsion and has amazing dramatic performances. Yet not even a mention. And Battlestar, Rescue Me, The Colbert Report, and Lost all got robbed too. Lost season 2 may have been a mixed bag, but the whole "do-we-push-the-button" mystery was stronger than season 1's what's in the hatch mystery and Lost at its worst is still more compelling than most shows at their best. And anyone who thinks Rescue Me promotes the behavior of its often moronic characters doesn't understand how to read subtext. Clearly, we're not supposed to root for Tommy when he rapes Janet, and clearly Janet and he have a complicated relationship. Janet's reaction was not supposed to be read as women enjoy being raped. And just like other people mentioned, Tommy was also raped , Mike hasn't been cured of his homosexuality, and the entire house has grown more gay-friendly over the course of the show. But that transition wasn't cheated. These characters have evolved in their thinking quite realistically.

Was one of the most repitive shows, I think I have ever seen. The same thing happened every week. Im just glad its over. The final ep stank. having said that The USA has lost its sense of humour. It was a very bad timing that a couple of hours after plane crash NBC did that sketch. I hope Conan Can recover or is this the end for american humour? America was the home of some of the greats, like Shelly Berman, Newhart, Woody Allen, Cosby, pryor etc. I find it worrying that A group of unelected people can decided what is said and whats not, they even had to bleep Farrell on jay leno. Irish Comic Tommy Tiernan went to what he thought was liberal Wahington and he talked to a comedy store guy who told him that the manager approves the act and no act gets on with out the managers say-so. yikes. Tiernans view of america is not what he thought. They laughed at some of his jokes, but as soon as he mentioned anything taboo, the audiences mood shifted very quick. sorry about the length of this email
-
it is from the home of the Neocon news, that is fox news. it is clearly written by people who love tom Clancy. The message is america is under threat and must defend its self. or the USA is an army of one namely Jack Bauer . its a silly, jingoistic, hollywood action show for people who dont like to think too hard . I got annoyed of 24 hours. Why? well take mandy, gorgeous mia kershner. That has to be the most underused character, she appeared in the first season and disappeared and then didnt appear untill palmer assisination attempt and vanished untill season4. What bollocks and no character background for her either. then there was the whole lets make bauer an international fugitive and then they dropped that idea, or appeared too and this is precisely what season six is going to be about I think. dont get started on the body. I bet AStin regrets signing on to 24 now. his whole story line was ridiculous and his character was dumb. All awards show are crap really. Season 5 was this show's weakest season. The villain was obvious from day one , the president was a lunatic and the writers jettisoned plot logic a long time ago. I am suprised that it won the awrds that it did. How is it that a show so reviled and quikly cancelled as the comeback gets an award. I am stunned.
-
see what i did there?? awesome!!! totally SLAMMED YOU...i took the AES from your name and put in ASS instead. ahahahaha. Get it. ASStheticity....ASS. Bottom??
Am i not allowed to have been let down severely by a show that became so bad that I couldn't believe what I was watching and before I realsied it we were on fucking antarctica. A show where one week where they finish an episode with some kind of startling revelation or awesome set up only for that plot strand to be forgotten because it didn't gel with the shit they made up that week for next weeks episode. it is so obviously being made up as they go along and I can't go with that.that episode where jack asked whoever it was I can't remember who but he aksed how long it would take for them to train an army. sounded exciting in the promos....was exciting when it happend and then what...NOTHING. when sawyer turned "bad" and hid the guns "theres a new sherrif in town" etc nice...set it up make hima real villain. and then what a couple of weeks later he is struggling with rain in his tent and is the lovable old charming rogue again. FUCK THAT SHIT. I read an interview with one of the producers and he was asked about the cursed numbers and he said
they don't actually mean anything and they will never be explained because they don't have an explanation for them. so they can just chuck any old shit into the story. it doesn't matter if it makes sense or not. I actually feel sorry for some of you because there is no way whatever bullshit "answer" they come up with can live up to the hype and fake mystery they have created. But they won't give a shit..they will all be rich and you will all just be let down and bitching about about howe fucking lame the show you once loved became. it will be x files all over again and i am just glad that I am getting out now before robert patrick is found in a the next hatch! -
Thanks for the pity. Now, to paraphrase your own advice "get out now". Fucking Troll.
-
or is it because I live under a bridge?? and if that is the case how do you know where I live.I am a little bit scared.
you have really set me straight meASS (see what i did there!!)and co. I actually think I might like the second season now after your great defence and point by point explanation of how I got it wrong. I cannot help how my enjoyment levels work. I watched season 2 hoping it would get better. It didn't and by the time I reached the ridiculous lets just shove a whole bunch of shit into it with gay abandon and see what happens final I couldn't believe my fucking eyes. If you guysd think the makers know what is going on you are crazy. They are as confused as the audience.I loved the first season. I was hooked but season 2 was a joke... A sad tragic joke as the show became a parody of itself. by the second season. thats pretty good work to fall that far that quick. I know it was still a top ten show but the comparison of the first seasons ratings to the second seasons showed that it was losing viewers at quite a rate and if that trend continues into the next season the show won't be around for much longer as it is quite expensive to make.I am not trolling. I am speaking facts and if the truth hurts you lovers of lost then i apologise. I used to love it too but I thought the second season was awful.Not one lost fan has actually tried to defend the show. you just abuse and try to make me feel like I am not as smart you guys. So maybe I am not as well read as you. Maybe I didn't have the advantage of being born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Maybe I took a left at the school of hard knocks and right over the wrong side of the tracks to get here but at least I am trying god damn it. Sure my backs been up against the wall more than once and I have hasd to fight my way out to survive but i am here. I am strong to take the insults your barbed tounges throw at me.you see I know life can be tough I know life sometimes can be a drag but we have been given a gift and that gifts name is rock n rooooollllllllll. -
It was interesting in the first season, but this last one was practically unwatchable. This was my sister's favorite show and now she doesn't even talk about it cause it was so stupid this time around. I never thought it was a masterpiece, but it took nosedive this time around. ...... Not sure why so many hate Lost. The complaints usually revolve around the slow storyline, but I think it move very fast relative to most shows. Even after rewatching both seasons, the second had far more going on than the first (even if they practically ruined Locke's character). I mean, just compare the finales. Night and day!
-
Just sayin'.
-
who is fucked off that the show "lost" it so quickly
-
we get that message, after 5 pages on it from you. How about you find a talkback for something you DO like and spend as much time talking about how great it is? Or would you find that too civilised and boring.
-
man emeraldboy I REALLY disagree with you about Malcolm. It went from shit to funny in like 5 seasons or something and I thought the finale was great, WAY better than anything I was expecting and I loved that show at that point. It actually tied all the loose ends quite nicely. I dont know, whatever. Also LOST people, you are the faggots, not slappy. Reading the posts over again he's the one who's talking and you're the ones who are trolling. It smells like denial is seeping into the LOST camp. You sound like the Superman Returns posters on the first weekend that Pirates 2 was out. It's ugly. And might I add on a personal note that I feel like they COMPLETELY ruined Locke (even JJ thinks so) and that was the point when I stopped watching forever. (the kitchen flip out due to Henry Gale's needling). I will always root for a Party of Five alumni because I am gay, but the show is just sliding into crap now. MAYBE JJ can save it.
-
So far I have been called a troll, told to go find a topic I like and talk about that because heavens knows you are not allowed to voice a negative opinion on the internet and it has also been suggested I have dry saliva problem...but so far none of you lost fans have actually defended the weakness' I saw in the show that put me off it. I have listed a few of my problems and all I get back is "go away loser" "you're a troll wah wah wah" I have actually tried to talk about the fucking show but what I have said about the show is obviously right because so afr you no one has denied my charges...and yes they ruined locke. they fucking ruined everything "brother"....i don't give a fuck what shit they come with to explain this fucking ice station shit they laid on us at the end...you seriously believe that they know what the end is going to be and that it is going to blow our minds and live up to the expectations the show has gievn everyone?? rubbish...I bet anything the show dribbles to a close with a groaner of an explaination...I bet deep down the writers ans producers are joping they get cancelled mid season like really sudden so they don't have to try and tie up all the fucking bullshit they have thrown together to try and keep it a mystery. they make it up as they go along and you all know it....and if they don't and they have an end planned out and they have an explanation for everything you really believe it can fufill your wildest expectations?? if thats the case best of luck to you...I will hop on the first train out of here and you'll never see me again "don't say that robert" "but its true barbara all of it true....you were never straight with me from the start...even now you're stuill trying and I have solid proof it was all al lie...all of it. everything they told me was true.you had eating out of the palm of your hand like i was another one of your pets. I believed you and because of that my own partner almost died and the police want me for the myrder of your husband and you expect me to kiss you and tell you it's all going to be o.k.?" "then hit me robert. Slap me, hurt me ...do something" " i've done all I can baby." Robert turns to leave..he puts on his hat "for a pretty dame you shure know how to spoil a party."

many many times have been on your side of this type of thing. Standing up for something I enjoy against hordes of people who are trying to tear it down and I know the feeling you have right now towards me. I have it too. Towards myself....I feel the same way..I am self loathing. anyway my point is that just because we don;t see eye to eye does that really mean we cannot be friends? you seem so cool.

Jon seems to be hosting everything else; so why not the emmys?
-
Or rather, "why" not Jon Stewart.
Sorry, I mistyped. -
I love the show, but how the season wrapped up was extremely disappointing (the last two episodes to be exact). But, thinking back on it, they tied up all the storylines, and I haven't heard anything about a renewal, so my question, and please Herc answer this one, was that THE END? It certainly seems so.
-
I thought it was maybe the best eps of the season.
-
"It's like Spam, only it has more protein... and it's hard to find in a grocery store."
-
for next season. I wasn't disappointed by the season's end, and really like the character-centric focus the last few have had. BTW, I haven't seen anybody mention this about the Emmys -- what has Ray Liotta done to himself? He looks very strange nowadays.
-
A certain two charaters turn up as ghosts. Which will either be the real deal or a fantasy. A few episodes or a full season, you take your pick. This has to be where the show is headed because every storyline except for Teddy and Jerry's were wrapped up. And I still think it was a mistake killing Johnny off instead of Jerry. Jerry's character, (even though I love Jack Mcgee) has run it's course, and Johnny never really began his. His death, or aftermath of it, I should say, was almost as insulting, if not more, than Tony's on 24. The last two episodes defines the term "weak sauce".
-
Just because you used to like it doesn't give you a license to troll. To be honest, when I see the long whiny posts I don't even bother to read them. After all, it's just the same stuff that has been regurgitated a million times already. If you hate the show that much, prove it to us by not watching season three. I'm dead serious. You're not going to like it, find something better to do with that hour a week. If you keep watching (and bitching) you're just admitting that there's at least something you still like about the show.
-
dammit I want to talk rescue me but I have to watch the ep through different means first. HERC I cant fucking BELIEVE you didnt set up a TB for the Rescue Me finale. you have been fucking lazy as shit lately. Are you pregnant? Do you have mono? Tell me that they have you working on some part of AICN that no one can see and that takes up all of your time. Tell me that invisible aliens are invading and the only thing that can stop them are you and a necklace that your Grandmother gave you on your 13th birthday. I mean make up SOME shit that will explain why Coaxial has fucking cobwebs all over it you little whiny bitch. ahem. got a little aggressive there at the end.
-
I really do. I hope it is as good as the first season but whats the bet this season is a bunch of boring ass flashbacks of the others. I want to know what love is. I want to enjoy it as much as i did the first season.I want you to how me. But I hated season 2. Just because I state my feelings towards it. Your as cold as ice. doesn't mean i am a troll. willing to sacrifice our love.I will watch the first few episodes but as soon as it gives us some kind of bullshit flashback to some new character they introduce trust me I will stop watching. it's more than a feeling. and while we are at it why am I not allowed to post about how much I hate it? are you guys the opinion police. is this part of the patriot act?
-
actually more than a feeling was Boston, slappy. but I appreciate the subliminal shoutouts
-
It's just not the show you want it to be. That's a shame for you, but that's just the way it is. You can keep watching it (and hating it), or you can let it go and move on. I"d give it a couple episodes and make the break. And nobody said you're not allowed to post. But when you post the same tired whining over and over, you shouldn't be surprised when people rtake you to task. It doesn't help when you spend most of your posts ranting and making vague This Sucks bitching. If you had more specific things to say about the show, you might get a real response instead of accusations of trolling.
-
and no one has answered them or tried to help me see where i have gone wrong. of course boston sang more than a feeling what was I thinking. I haven't just been bleating on about this show sucking without explaining why I think it does indeed do just that. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe the show is just too much for my pea brain to understand. My parents never loved me you see. I went from foster home to foster home...I've been tossed more times than a fresh salad. and thats just to afford the booze that keeps me going. I am a sad lonely man and these posts are a desperate cry for attention. You guys are my only friends. well, I had a friend when I was 6. his name was pete. boy me and petey got into some crazy adventures. One time we broke into old man Gracy's cow shed and broke one of the milk pumps. you should have seen his face as he chased us through his corn fields my lord he was making an awful fuss. i swear to god he would have killed us had he had caught us. Heh heh heh yep me and petey were thick as thieves. but then petey got sick. I was too young too understand what it was but one day he just got sick and his parents took him away. I got to visit him once in the big city. The buildings were so tall and everyone was in such a rush. I got to see my friend. I didn;t realise at the time that this would be the last time I got to see my friend. We talked as much as we could but he was just so weak. He dozed in and out of the conversation but I assumed he would get better and we would be running through the corn fields driving old man gracy nuts again soon. Petey died at 3.17 march 3rd 1963. and you know what?? a piece of me died that day too.
-
And they were actually pretty good points...but then you buried them with pointless blather. Just look at your last post...if someone accuses you of being a troll, you don't exactly make points by going out of your way to prove them right.
-
was make my posts like an episode of lost....I few points here and there buried amongst a bunch of bullshit I make up on the spot. my posts read how lost plays to me. too much unnecessary bullshit. petey did die though. that started my spiral. once he was gone I went downhill fast. my parents who weren't the brightest of folks didn't have patience for me ot grieve. my father would whip me within and inch of my life every time I would cry. he would say to me "only a faggot cries boy" and he would tears strips of back with his belt.after I fainted one day at school due to my injuries and that lead me to my first foster home. The mother, Julia, was a lovely woman who couldn't have no kids of her own. Womb was barren you see. Her husband, Mr Hammond, was one the meanest son of a guns I ever did see. His neck looked like it was made of concrete and he was almost as tall as one the buildings I saw in the city. He was a fair man and I just adored him. He taught me hoe to shoot, fish and be a man. More than my blood father ever did. but he had no tolerence for bad manners and one day we were all out at the local diner and a man was cursing saying some foul things to the waitress. Mr Hammond asked him to not speak like that in front his wife and son. He called me his son. For the first time I felt truly loved. And just like that mr hammond was talken from me. The man shot Mr Hammond five times in the chest. I thought he eas invincible. I thought it would take more than a few small bullets to bring down a building. But he was gone. Julia was in no state to care for me after and years later when I went to visit her I didn;t recognise the beautiful lady I remembered from my childhood. She was everything I thought a woman should be but her husbands death sent her on her own jouney and one no person should ever have to take. When she was a child the age I was when I first met here she had dreams of escaping her small toen and moving to hollywood to become a movie star. She saw herself there with her name is lights. It was all she ever wanted all the way through her youth right through high school. She was a good student. Not any kind of genius but she did well enough. She worked at a local drugstore and saved every penny she could. the only time she ever spent a cent was when the latest picture show would come to town. musicals, comedies...she loved the feeling of joy these stories gave her and she still had her heart set on hollywood. The only thing she didn't prepare for was Billy Hammond. He was a bit older but she knew who he was. A lot of the girls in the town had dated him but said he was too cold, distnt...angry. But Julia wanted to know more about this mysterious man and she asked him which considered scandalous at the time. Well she fell harder for him than she had ever done for the silver screen and he fell even harder. He was a cold and distant man but something about her spirit warmed him up and brought him near. They were married on July 15th 1957. The year i was born. Children was something they both wanted but unfortunately for them it was not something was going to be possible. A lot of men of that time would not have stood for something like that and it would have ende the marriage but not Mr Hammond. He was a good man and he loived his wife dearly. Taking in a kid like me had been his idea and I am a better person for having had them in my lives. The year I was with them was one of the greatest I have ever had. But the woman standing before me when i went back years later was not the same. Her life was in disarray after Mr Hammonds death and like many people in her situation drugs were a great way to ease the pain. But drugs cost money and beauty can obtain money...at a certain cost. It wasnl;t easy for her to sell herself. It was a difficult decision but she had gone to far. The pain of the withdrawals were matching the pain of her loss and she didn't know what else to do. She cried during the entire act the first time she did it. The man even saw the tears but that didn't stop him. In fact she even thought it seemed to make him even more aroused. She told herself it was just a one time thing to get through one week but that never stuck. Hearing these stories from a woman I cared for so much broke my heart in too. The things she wound up doing wiould turn the stomach of even the harnest of pornographers but I told her i was going to take care of her and that everything would be o.k. She looked into my eyes as tears filled hers "are you going to bring bill back slappy" she asked. I shoke my head "no julia. Nobody can" "then what fucking good are you" is the last thing she ever said to me. Julia Hammond died at 7.46pm on Friday march the 12th 1983.
