Tuned in at 8 pm to watch them and discovered they were already over! So much for Prime-time!

"Ten minutes to Julia Roberts!"

Ugh.

Modern Family beating Veep or Louie is just wrong at this point. No doubt, the first two seasons of Modern Family were hilarious and heartwarming (which is an incredibly tough thing to pull off), great for anyone of any age to watch, but the last couple seasons haven't been nearly as strong, while Veep and Louie the last couple years have been downright brilliant.

Hey Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel is funnier than you are.

Agreed.

For that matter, I'd put OITNB ahead of MF as well.

All I can think is at least it wasn't Big Bang Theory.

Amen!!!!

this too, especially the first season.

 

[crisper57]

this too, especially the first season.

I am sorry, but I just do not see it as a comedy.

And I think True Crime is a miniseries. The categories were all out of whack this year!

Disagree with the first statement. I just think it's a dark comedy.

Agree with second statement. True Detective was definitely a mini.

 

[crisper57]

It has funny bits, but I sit through every episode with a sense of dread that one of my favorite characters is about to get shanked. Not a funny experience for me in the least.

Breaking Bad cleaning up wasn't a surprise. That final season was one of the best I've ever seen and the finale is what all finales should strive to be.

 

[Passepartout]

Breaking Bad went out on top with an Emmy!
