Emmys 2007 Rant

Can you say BORING? Can you say that?

I thought when Family Guy faves Stewie and Brian made their Emmy debut cutting the living crap out of all things TV. .. it was Gangbusters. WRONG…


Whose scathingly brilliant idea was it to have Ryan Seacrest as the host ???

He has all the personality of a small soap dish.

How about that Moronic Seating Plan? Boston's Legal's James Spader said it best “These are the worst seats I’ve ever had.” Emmy in The Round? T'is not The Bard .. t'is The Tube!

Loved the fact The Sopranos won Best Drama and the Standing O when the cast entered the stage. But the Jersey Boys singing whimbly wambly Four Seasons songs instead of perhaps a live version of Sopranos theme Woke up This Morning by A3?

Cement blocks anyone?

Highlight – Sopranos' David Chase "In essence, this is a story about a gangster. And gangsters are out there taking their kids to college, and taking their kids to school, and putting food on their table. And, hell, let's face it, if the world and this nation was run by gangsters — maybe it is."

Lowlight – Another Sally Field Acceptance Speech – “If Mothers ruled the world there would be no G-D wars…”

I hated that. I really really hated that.

Stephen Colbert, sob, --last year,Barry Manilow, this year,Tony Bennett.

BUT - South Park's Make Love, Not Warcarft won an award. Good for you! Thannnnnks, Emmys.

And Lewis Black "Red, White and Screwed".. over by Tony Bennett was Emmy Saviour with his rant about screen crawls, fast credits and pop ups ads during TV shows.

Ever tried reading headlines as they crawl across the bottom of your screen?

They go by so fast, you can barely read them and then you wait for them to come around again….Can you say motion sickness?

I proclaim that Lewis Black hosts next year’s Emmys.That’ll save Teeveeland from watching reruns of The Sopranos.
