    Alyson Hannigan is in How I met your Mother? Maybe I should watch this show.

    You're missing a lot of good television then!

    You're also not even going to have a frame of reference for most of these shows that you're watching an award show for.

    Just because I don't -watch- the shows doesn't mean I don't know -about- them.

    And I'm watching for two reasons. To watch BSG get snubbed and to watch NPH, who is dreamy.

    It's the only standard multi-camera sitcom I'll watch. It's so good.

    Family Guy has always been a horrible show, so I'm happy with it being in the Best Comedy nominations; now it's in a place where it will never, ever win.

    It shouldnt be allowed to lose Best Comedy. It should have to settle for losing Best Cartoon, and consider itself lucky if it even gets a local Ace nomination for syndicated reruns.

    I've never watched the Emmies; do they usually show clips from the shows that are nominated? I'm asking this because I saw that the "Animation Over One Hour" category only has two nominations, and that it would be hilarious for the show to feature a clip from Afro Samurai followed by a clip from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

    Oh, I watch award shows as a cathartic release, ever since I "seriously" followed them with the Lord of the Rings. I just enjoy yelling at the TV, I've learned.

    Woah, when did basic cable channels start advertising on network TV?

    Yeah, Khavall. That was ballsy of NPH, to say the least. Jon Cryer looked shocked.

    NPH is gonna be a massive hit, but I somehow doubt he'll be back for another year.

    Also fuck Family Guy.

    Well, if comedy took an hour, this'll finish up around midnight my time. Hopefully reality will be really short.

    I like my share of reality TV (well...really, just old reruns of Top Chef and Project Runway) but I have no clue what it's doing at the Emmys.

    But hey, Alec Baldwin and Kristin Chenoweth won, wooo.

    But where else can you get the most coveted award in a major artistic field simply for turning your womb into an overclocked Xerox?
