I missed the Emmys. I don’t mind that. I mind that I didn’t even realize they were going to be on, and I mind that I missed the fashion review that preceeds the awards.
\nI miss the range of attire from tacky to sublime. I guess the dresses for the Oscars are even better, or perhaps wilder, but the Emmy nominees are like Avis, they try harder. And I missed it.
\nI was reading the list of winners. I’m delighted that Tony Shaloub won for comedy actor, for “Monk.” And Debra Messing (gawd, she’s a beautiful woman!), for “Will and Grace.” I recognize a lot of the winners names, but not necessarily the shows. I’ve never seen “Everybody Loves Raymond.” I’m not surprised Doris Roberts won, since her work is always good. She’s one of those actors who has a work ethic that goes the distance. The same could be said of Tyne Daley, who won for Supporting Actress in a drama, “Judging Amy.”
\nBut the point of all this is that we see very little TV any longer. “Monk” is a favorite show that we watch for. Otherwise, we have no idea what’s going on with comedies or dramas. The History Channel, Discover, The Learning Channel, Biography….those are what hold our interest.
\nSo….I guess we qualify as old fogies. The nice thing about that is that it doesn’t bother me. I can entertain myself endlessly, with great variety, even if I don’t know who is in “Everybody Loves Raymond.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
