So the emmys are on next monday, and the creative arts emmys were last weekend....Kristin didn't win for guesting on Glee, but I can't be THAT mad cause she was beaten by Betty White on SNL....
Meanwhile, Neil Patrick Harris DID win for Glee which was cool!
There were a few other awards that I was happy for, like music for example.
I'm in the middle of reading EW's top 50 emmy snubs and wanted to share my thoughts.....
-I'm totally with them on Ellen Pompeo. She has totally acted her butt off over the last 6 years of Grey's and barely gets a peep of attention!
-ALIAS!!!!!!! Man I'm missing that show right now! They really should have got more awards, especially in the early years!
-Brother & Sisters? Not sure that was ever really up to the best drama catergory - as much as I love it and all....maybe in the early days. -although last season's finale was a gutwrencher!
Okay not really much more to comment on.....
There are still lots of good people nominated for stuff in this years emmys, so I'm excited to see who wins!
-Hopefully I can find time to watch it without spoilers!

Election Time and Election Episodes
Oh The West Wing how I have missed you!!!!!
Okay so I've been saying for a few weeks now that I wanted to watch the election eps of TWW, since we're having an election this weekend. I finally got time last night to watch Election Night, and am in the middle of Process Stories right now. - I probably won't have time for Election Day part 1 and 2, but I can watch them after saturday.
You know the weirdest thing? Even though I've been watching more recent Bradley Whitford (and others) in stuff....they all looked weird in season 3....but not in a 'young' way, but I guess more of a 'wow it has really been too long' way.... I honestly don't remember when I last watch any West Wing.
Anyways.....moving on.
I'm enjoying Mad Men...and Community, but since Alison Brie is in both shows, I cannot watch them on the same night. It weirds me out too much. So glad there is plenty of good Peggy stuff this season! (Hey no Zoey in these eps of TWW....)
What was that about moving on?.....oh yes.
Hot in Cleveland is finishing up soon....and its getting better.....or at least showing off the talent a little better. However I still find Valerie Bertinelli really really annoying. But the others are funny.
I've only got 2 eps left of Las Vegas season 4....and omg no wonder I had forgotten about the end of season 4. I knew Mary left....but I had completely no recollection of how or what happens to Mary.
I'll talk about Las Vegas more when I've watched the last 2 eps of s4....and then its onto the crappy season 5.....maybe it won't seem so bad this time around! lol
wow....how did I forget Joanna Gleeson's characters name in The West Wing?......okay the ep is over now....I'll move on, and finish up.

Catch Me Up!
So.......it sucks that these days I have very little time for TV....I miss it!
So Mad Men is back...I've watched 3 eps and am enjoying it. Its the kind of show I love to watch, but wouldn't obsess over it and watch the eps multiple times.
-Oh and after all the things I've been watching lately, I'm so glad Christina Hendricks grew up and got not-annoying. -Like Amy Adams! They both just used to play annoying characters on tv in the early 2000's.
I finished season 1 of Damages....and boy that show surprised me! I had no idea just how epic it was in terms of storyline planning. I can't wait to see where they go in season 2....they've got some interesting things to explain.
And now that I've finished Damages, I'm finally catching up on the rest of United States of Tara. Its not that I didn't want to watch it - but it was taking forever to download. And its not the kind of show I like to watch tons in a row....it messes with my head too much.
I'm almost done with season 4 of Las Vegas now, hopefully I'll have finished season 5 by the time I leave for the US in Sept....Not that it really matters where I leave it since it never got an actual finale cause of the writers strike not working out well for a lot of shows. (not that I don't support the writers).
The problem will be not hating season 5....Its just not the same without Ed.....and I guess Mary, but Mary wasn't the same since season 3....she lost all her good character traits....and got super annoying and weird. (Nikki Cox's uber-skinniness season 3 didn't help...)
There's a few new shows starting up soon, and some oldies coming back, so I'll have to try and make room for them in my limited tv schedule....

Elizabeth Mitchell and Shows I don't want to want to watch!
Ok....so you've all heard me go on about how I hated Juliet in LOST....yada yada yada....and how then I LOVED her....what can I say I'm not THAT set in my ways!
So she's become one of my 'people' that I have to watch interviews with, and will consider rewatching in old stuff, and new stuff.....that isn't LOST. -however her in ER still weirds me out....
Anyways stay with me here.....but she's kinda like a weird mix of Kellie Martin, Emily Procter and Jessica Capshaw.....or maybe they all just kinda look/sound similar. - She's very bubbly and nutty and hyper and talks REALLY fast which I can appreciate in a person! (Lauren, Emily P, etc)
Oh so now onto the shows I really don't want to watch....but have great people that I love in them.....it sucks...for example...I really don't want to ever watch V....especially now I know Charles Mesure is in it....
I also didn't want to watch CSI Miami or NY....
I mean there has to be a point where I stop watching things for 'my people'. Movies are okay, you watch it for an hour or 2, and then its done. But a tv show is much more of a commitment!
So from now on I'm making a pledge.....to only watch shows with multiple 'my people' in them, unless it genuinely interests me for other reasons than 1 member of the cast!
.....good luck to me :)

LAS VEGAS....
....just for something different.
This weekend has been good for watching TV. I watched the last Crossing Jordan/Las Vegas crossover eps, which were the worst of the lot. Nowhere NEAR as good as the previous 2!
Then today I got to watch the Delina in a Box episodes (oddly titled Delinda's box), which were awesome. Very dramatic for season 3/4 of Las Vegas! - I also watched a few more since the arvo was all wet and dreary. The Christmas ep was so good! Some good drama in there and some decent other stuff too. And even I got sad when they blew up Danny's car! That's a cool car....even if I never really liked the colors.
In other news, I think I'm finally on board with Community. Although some eps rock and some really really suck....But for the most part its enjoyable.
Tomorrow its back to a busy work week and there will be little time for tv. I've only got 3 eps of Damages left, so I might be able to finish that this week!
