Just Because: The Best Revenge


'Revenge is the single most satisfying feeling in the world!'
J.R. Ewing

After watching (most) of the EMMY Awards last night, I think Larry Hagman and Jack Klugman got off easy. Whomever decided that there should awards for the top 5 deaths of 2012 should be removed of any future EMMY duties. Last nights show, which honored almost as many dead people as alive ones, was one of the worst outings of the show that I can remember. Neil Patrick Harris seemed on auto pilot, clearly indicating he has hosted one award show too many. (His song and dance #'s are all starting to sound identical) Carrie Underwood, usually a showstopper, never quite connected musically, or emotionally with her song. With the exception of a sparse few memorable minutes from Fey and Poehler, Conan O'Brien and Nurse Jackie's Merritt Weaver the show was a train wreck from the opening unfunny video montage on.

It was awful. Just so awkward. The opening was boring and pointless. The banter between the presenters was so not funny. Robin Williams tribute was a mess. I couldn't understand half of what he was saying. Modern Family keeps winning although the show insists upon itself. The weirdest part was Shemar Moore interviewing people backstage for no reason at all. CBS was doing way too much to put their stars on screen even when completely unnecessary. Sadly the only thing that could have saved it was if Miley Cyrus made a surprise appearance to twerk on stage.
