I certainly don't think Community being sidelined is important in the grand scheme of life but I don't see anything wrong with being a little bummed out by it, no? If we have to live in this nightmare world we might as well get to watch some enjoyable shows!
If they don't throw some Emmy nominations at Timothy Olyphant, Margo Martindale & Jeremy Davies....... well, nothing will happen, but I will be very disappointed! ...because I've NEVER been disappointed with the Emmys before.
I know this is the Thursday Night TV open thread and not the Wednesday Night TV Open Thread but can I give a shout out to the excellent Justified season finale? DAMN.
Well I must admit I hope he makes it at least to the debates... I mean, he'll be referencing Bret Michaels from a podium made of solid gold. Top THAT, Obama.
I went and I had a good time (despite rallies and large crowds not being kind to short people). I can understand people's... confusion? apprehension? about this whole thing, and there were some weird moments (Kid Rock? really?) but it was fun and felt kind of cathartic. We just want everyone to stop yelling at each other!
I haven't really been commenting all that much over the past few months (college obligations.. boo!) so I kind of missed all the excitement, but I just wanted to say that I think videogum is pretty great and everyone here is pretty great and I'm proud to be a member (a rarely participating member, but nonetheless..) of this community! So let's just keep being great!
I'm saying there's not a lot of substance to it, which whatever, not all TV shows need to be, but I feel like they think they do, like they're bringing something new to the high school table, when they're really not...
I was wondering what the videogum position on Glee was.. I have to say, I was excited about this in the beginning (the BUZZ worked!) but with each episode I steadily get more and more annoyed. Take away Jane Lynch and the musical numbers (that's right, I enjoy them) and all you have left is a cliched and unfunny show about high school.
But it does have Jane Lynch and musical numbers, so I'm still watching, so I guess you win, Glee.
Aw come on, don't hate on Kristin Chenoweth! She was fantastic in Pushing Daisies, and besides, you don't have to worry about her winning ever again (for that show)!
Also, I'm all for Ricky Gervais hosting everything from now on (although this was also quite clear last year, too) because he is always my favorite part of this show. Props to NPH, though, too.
