The Emmy Awards were surprisingly entertaining yesterday. It got me excited about this upcoming season of shows. But, it also reminded me of a lot of shows which the world seems to have fallen in love with, but either I've never seen one episode of or I've watched a few mins. of an episode, didn't like it, and never watcehd again. If anyone follows any of these shows, please let me know if they're worth watching: (feel free to add your own) Lost, Entourage, Arrested Development, Deadwood, Oz, 24, Six Feet Under, Medium, Monk, Alias. And some older ones which I never followed - MASH, Frasier, Mary Tyler Moore, Wings, Murphy Brown, Welcome Back Kotter. Actually scratch that last one, that show is a gem. One thing that annoys me about the Emmys is that they consistently pass over The Simpsons for the best comedy Emmy. They're always relegated to the animated category, and that sucks because that show is 10x funnier and smarter than Will & Grace. Maybe they'll get their due someday, but most likely not. And, there's a handful of friggin' awesome shows that no one talks about. Namely, Rides (Chip Foos makes over cars for some damn-lucky person), Miami Ink (tattoo artists in Florida), and Deadliest Catch (about the guys that catch that stuff that ends up on your plate). Now, those are some great reality shows.
