The Emmy Awards

I must say, TiVo has made award show watching far more appealing. Don't get me wrong, I catch every major award show with or without TiVo but now I'm not forced to sit through three hours of commercials. I started watching the show about 45-50 minutes after it started and caught up to live TV in the last half hour.

This year's ceremony was pretty good. Conan was a great host overall but the controversy surrounding his opening "crash" skit is simply absurd. There were a number of other one-liners that were far more offensive than that skit. It was a spoof on Lost, one of the best shows on TV so let's all get a grip. Celebrate the winners and the tributes to Dick Clark and Aaron Spelling! Conan's sing and dance routine at the beginning of the show was creative and well done. I can't wait until he takes over for Jay at The Tonigth Show.

The line of the night went to Helen Mirren when she won for best actress in a mini-series. She said she, "almost fell hand over tit on the way up here." Hilarious!

Congratulations to the winners!
