As the networks rev up toward their upfront presentations next week, lots of cancellations and renewals came swooping in over the last two days. There will probably be even more later today. So far, here’s how things have been shaping … Continue reading Lots Of Cancellations and Renewals
Here, there are really only three locks. Even in its old age, I can’t see Modern Family not getting nominated. I can see Big Bang Theory getting left out, but there are five shows I think competing for three spots, … Continue reading Emmy Watch: Best Comedy Series
Again, I previously lamented how unlikely new blood will be in these categories. It’s a sad, but true fact of how boring and predictable the Emmy’s have become. This category is a bit different from supporting actress, as a few … Continue reading Emmy Watch: Supporting Actor in a Comedy
I have absolutely hated the Emmy nominee list the past couple years. It seems as though they just watch the same shows, and nominate the same people over and over. It takes a lot to break through into a category, … Continue reading Emmy Watch: Best Supporting Actress

Oh, definitely Jon Hamm for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. And how could the Emmy voters pass on Mel Brooks for The Comedians? There’s always some SNL hosts in the mix, and Louie CK and Bill Hader could be in the mix. … Continue reading For Your Consideration: Comedy Guest Actor/Actress
As I start my annual Emmy wishlist, I remember that the Emmy voters quite frequently get it wrong and turn their noses up at shows that the public is embracing. In other words, get ready for more Downton Abbey nominations, … Continue reading For Your Consideration: Emmy Best Supporting Actor/Actress In A Comedy
ABC has added episodes to some of its most consistent performers. Grey’s Anatomy will film two extra episodes this season, bringing its total to 24. All of the Wednesday comedies got two extra episodes, including Freshman comedy Black-ish. Castle and … Continue reading ABC Rewards Hit Shows With More Episodes
Stalker closed out the CBS lineup with 9.1M and a 2.0 in the demo, or about the same ratings that CSI was doing in that timeslot last year. Considering Criminal Minds was the lead in with 11.5M and a 2.7 … Continue reading ‘Stalker’ Premieres OK, ‘Black-ish’ Dips
