The awards themselves ricochet from the inspired to the insane, with no regard for office betting pools. It's almost enough to make you grateful for the broadcast's unshakeable consistency: It was hideously awful from start to harried finish, dragged down by five amateurish reality anchors who would have been unwelcome as guests, let alone hosts.
The lesson ABC's Sunday slog seemed to be striving to impart is that the Emmys are a joke — and a bad one at that. From Josh Groban's musical montage to that monumentally terrible, time-wasting quintet — Ryan Seacrest, Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum, Jeff Probst and, in particular, a dithering Howie Mandel — the show seemed designed to convince us that we shouldn't be watching. Not just the Emmys, mind you, but television itself.
Why, in a year when so much good work was done by writers and actors, would Emmy turn itself over to five performers from unscripted TV — and reward them for their incompetence by devoting extra time to their unnecessary category? I'd say they drove the show to a new low, but after last year's Seacrest-solo, in-the-round debacle, that would be giving them too much credit for originality.
Actually, the "we have nothing" opening was so unbearable and the show so slow, it's possible many viewers never made it to the major categories, which came in an undignified rush at the end. And that's a shame, because this year's series awards were more deserved and varied than has often been the case. -[END]-

Glad to see that JOHN ADAMS (HBO Miniseries) won... (among others, like 30 Rock).

But yeah, S4 in The Office is more "dark", which in this case means hitting home close (at least for me), specially the ending of the episode where Michael goes all survivor man...
