Emmy Time

OK so I missed last week, sorry about that. I got a bit distracted. I hope everyone caught a few more premieres though. I watched One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Fringe, The Biggest Loser and The Beautiful Life. Loser was great as always with the most inspring stories. Of the few reality shows I do watch, it is by far my favorite. TBL was a lot better than expected I have to say, especially after all the negative things i was hearing about it. It is the perfect show to air on CW and fit in with audience they have and are trying to conquer. GG and OTH both started off pretty great. I am really excited to see where this season of OTH goes with the new characters and the slight time jump (one year this time, as opposed to 4 last time). I also loved seeing Blair and Chuck in real couple mode, or at least what is real couple mode for them which of course is very disfunctional but extremely fun and entertaining. Fringe was creepy, excting, weird and great as I expected. In my eyes JJ Abrams can do no wrong. I will follow anything with his name attached because I truly think he is a great storyteller. (anyone with doubts just look at Felicity, Alias, or Lost and prove yourself wrong).

Now onto some Emmy talk...first, i think Neil Patrick Harris did a great job. His opening song was great and I thought he was a really lively, friendly host and kept the show running incredibly smooth. I also really liked the idea to split up the awards into the five different categories. It really gave the show a cohesiveness I have never seen before. As far as the awards themselves, I have to say they were pretty expected with repeats of Mad Men and 30 Rock for drama and comedy series. My biggest upset was NPH not winning for comedy supporting actor, he really deserves and personally I don't watch Two and a half men so I would always rather see someone from a show I watch win rather than from a show I don't watch. One last point, I loved the Dr. Horrible skit- by far the highlight of my night- for anyone that had no idea what they were watching. Go to hulu.com and watch all three acts of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Now remember, this is official premiere week so there is lots of TV to be watched this week and I expect all of you to be watching with me!
