And drama before comedy? That is odd.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That was a dead giveaway that ELR was winning again.

[The Mandarin 0]

Wow, the Daily Show beat out Conan again.

 

What a shocker.

 

Conan was robbed again. Fuck John Stewart.

[Hank Kingsley 0]

I don't know if Monk was being serious or not with his "I'm not familiar with their work" line, but what a dick.

[Ravenbomb 0]

Huzzah! @ Lost winning

[Ravenbomb 0]

Hugh Laurie did not win.

 

Can I call robbery without seeming the fangirl?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Don't worry, everyone thinks you're a fangirl anyways

[Guest Joshua A. Norton]

What the fuck is Everyone Loves Raymond?

[Ravenbomb 0]

The archtype for 50% of all the current sitcoms (Will & Grace being the archtype for the other 50%)

[Zetterberg is God 0]

Patricia Arquette? I thought that Glenn Close would win Best Actress for sure. Anyway, complete crock that Boston Legal stole the two dramatic actor prizes again, but at least Lost picked up best drama.

So which "archetype" does AD fit into?

[The Czech Republic 0]

another year where Conan is jobbed.  Oh but the Daily Show is "about more than comedy"  "It tackles the issuezzzz!!!"  Conan just does that comedy stuff LAME

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I used to like the Daily Show before it became

 

(bush soundbite)

(Jon Stewart looks exasperated)

"mmm...not so much."

 

over and over and over

 

 

Oh and Everybody Loves Raymond is fucking terrible. It's like when U2 is the Best Band In The World...well, I guess there's nobody else. Disgustingly bland. All in the Family and M*A*S*H and Seinfeld were all signposts for situation comedy. This show feels like drinking a mashed potato milkshake.

Big props to James Spader and William Shatner for their repeat Emmy wins.

[Guest El Satanico]

Be careful showing support for things that defeated Lost.

 

A crazed Lostonian...may maim you

I dunno, what's archtype/archetype mean? And what's AD stand for?

Is it just me or is Spader starting to look and sound like a young Christopher Walken?

 

Also, Braff's reaction to Laurie "doing a British accent" was great

ar·che·type (är'kĭ-tīp')

n.

An original model or type after which other similar things are patterned; a prototype: “‘Frankenstein’ . . . ‘Dracula’ . . .. . . the archetypes that have influenced all subsequent horror stories” (New York Times).

 

AD= Arrested Development

Archetype: An original model or type after which other similar things are patterned.

 

AD: "Arrested Develpment", a Fox sitcom with a pretty vocal cult following.

 

AD is probably best categorized as a prototype from which future shows will model themselves after.

 

"Everybody Loves Raymond" is basically a more mature version of "Home Improvement", which itself was a rip-off of "the Cosby Show"; while "Will and Grace" is basically a homosexual version of "Friends," which itself was a Generation X rip-off of "Seinfeld."

Anyone else surprised how much people are talking about some stupid-ass post? I don't even watch many sitcoms, it just seems like (from the commercials) that they're all "Some stupid doughy guy with a moderately attractive wife and a wacky family."

 

 

 

And I know what archetype means (just didn't know how to spell it), I was just hoping people would write me off as someone who doesn't know what they're talking about and move on.

 

 

 

So, she lost her list of people to thank down her dress. That's pretty hilarious.

[Guest El Satanico]

I was just clarifying

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No it won't. I love the show, but as you said it has a cult following. It's not popular enough for future shows to "rip off".

 

That could change with the "rebirth" Fox is giving it, but we'll see tomorrow night.

[UZI Suicide 0]

How did Tony Schaloub win AGAIN for Monk? I mean seriously, who watches that show?

[UZI Suicide 0]

Oh, and James Spader is an annoying douchebag.

[Guest El Satanico]

So now we also bitch about wins from shows that aren't popular?

 

James Spader's great at playing the annoying douchebag role. Or were you talking about the real James Spader?

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Captain Kirk can eat a dick. John Locke is the best thing on TV, period.

 

But best drama I can absolutely deal with.

Both..mostly the real one.

I'm pretty exhausted with your verisimilitude. Shut up KNK.

Sweet Jesus did Marcia Cross look smokin'.

[Ted the Poster 0]

Monk is a wonderful show, and Shaloub is great at what he does. Fuck the haters.

 

I was happy that Huffman won. She has always been the most overlooked woman on that show.

 

Arquette's win pissed me off. Hartigay should've gotten it.

 

AD and especially Scrubs deserved more recognition. John McGinley has deserved a nomination for a long time.

 

 

^^Hot.

[Guest El Satanico]

Marcia Cross would make a good Poison Ivy, but I don't find her to be hot at all.
