The Emmy Awards

Well I saw the Emmy Awards last night and at best I thought it was ok. Ellen DeGeneres was the host and we might as well have been watching her own show. I was hoping for more comedy and more entertainment from a show that is honouring all the best shows on television.
In this world of thousands of cable channels, I was struck by the many winning shows I have never seen much less heard of. Speaking of which, I saw a commercial expressing outrage that Corner Gas was not nominated for an Emmy. I wiped my brow with relief and said "Thank God...um I mean yeah the outrage...the outrage". I expect Canadians to be leading a protest march to Parliament Hill to express how cheated and ripped off they felt.
I can also express my disappointment that Car 55 was not selected...or the brilliant comic writings of Air Farce that will keep Canadians groaning into the next century.
I think the Emmy board of governors should go out and hire the writers of the hit shows so that the quality will be consistent with the entertainment being honoured. It is like I would have to go to my elementary school to pick up my Bachelor of Arts degree with all those kids in kindergarten looking on.
Maybe we should open up the Emmy's to the world so that we get truly the best of the best. I would rather see that than see 2 1/2 men being the next big thing. Sorry Charlie...Emmy's only want comedy with great taste....
