Last night, this country was subjected to one of the most boring, incompetent, ego-saturated intellectual vacuums in the history of this or any other sentient race.When you're sixty you're expected to be a little slow and forgetful. After fifty-nine years of unfettered practice, aided by the cream of this glorious nation's performing community, the Emmy's are entitled to no such concession.
Some TV critics are giving this ghastly spectacle overly-kind and upbeat reviews. I would be guilty of fraud and intellectual rape if I even considered it right to concur. The entire, skillfully-coutured charade was 15-minutes of worthwhile viewing squeezed into 3-hours of mind-crushing banality, then smothered in lip gloss and hosed with cheap perfume. All it lacked was a street lamp to lean on.
According to Neilsen, 12.2 million people watched the show - one of its lowest ratings in 15-years. And I couldn't act surprised if you paid me! Everyone on that stage was there because the Emmys consider them the best of their kind...And that was the best they could do.
If this was their report card, they should deem themselves lucky to get more than an "F".
