Texannie | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 05:08 pm     Is Gary Shandling ill? What was with all his body movements during the monologue? Jon Stewart was hysterical!!! |
Azriel | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 05:16 pm     I'm watching the Emmys and I'm in chat (all alone )if anyone wants to watch and talk about them with me. |
Scorpiomoon | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 05:59 pm     I can't believe out of all the possible hosts they get Gary Shandling. The political impersonators are a total flop. And Bernie Mac getting right up in the camera was lame. That Wanda chick was even funnier than Jon Stewart! What did she say to that actor? Something like, "Get your ass up and work that camera! You want to win an Emmy don't you?" LOL! |
Wilsonatmd | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 06:41 pm     NICE!!! TAR won best Reality Show...I hope this is the key to an official renewal now... |
Babyruth | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 06:57 pm     YAY! for Jon Stewart and The Daily Show, one of my favorite shows! And YAY! For The Amazing Race! Ha! They can't cancel it now, can they? |
Crazydog | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 07:04 pm     Yay for The Amazing Race and Yay for Maggie Smith. One of my favorite actresses. She won Best Lead Actress in a Miniseries/Movie for her outstanding work in "My House in Umbria". |
Babyruth | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 07:30 pm     YAY! Tony Shaloub and Monk!! Another of my favorite shows. Crazydog, I loved Maggie Smith in "Umbria" too. Aww, now they showed the John Ritter tribute (which was more brief than I thought it would be), and the annual list of the year's deceased. |
Brenda1966 | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 07:31 pm     I totally missed TAR winning. Yay! Did anyone else notice how stone faced Bill Cosby was when that gal from Wanda at Large was trying to joke with him? From his comment "we spoke English" I guess he's not a fan of her style of comedy. LOL! I enjoyed seeing Ryan Seacrest and Jeff Probst present together -- what a couple of cuties. |
Sthncmft | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 08:19 pm     Wahhhhh......Six Feet Under didn't win anything! They deserved *something*. Oh well. |
Eliz87 | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 08:34 pm     Brenda, I noticed Bill Cosby too. I'm not a fan of Wanda Sykes either, but one would think that Bill Cosby, being in the position that he is, might be a little more magnanimous. He should know that everyone has to start somewhere. I was disappointed with his attitude. Happy that Everybody Loves Raymond won for best comedy and thrilled that Debra Messing won an award! I love Will & Grace! |
Calgaryperson | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 08:38 pm     Darrell Hammond was great tonight! He got Rumsfeld dead on! Ah-Nold was a little bit off key, but it did the trick. It's a shame that SNL lost all of it's categories! Just to clarify...Garry Shandling was not the host. There was no host. Shandling, Hammond, Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart, Wanda Skyes, Bernie Mac, Marty Short, and several others were the 'hosts'. Then there were the presenters(Marg Helgenberger and William Peterson of CSI). |
Melfie1222 | Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 11:16 pm     The Emmys were ok this year... BOOO and two thumbs down to E! for their Emmy pre-show, at least here on the West Coast, they had one of those news runners on the bottom of the screen, telling who the winners were, before the show had even started here. Grrr. |
Scorpiomoon | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 12:18 am     Calgaryperson: Oh man, that's right! I forgot there had been a ton of press about how there was going to be many hosts and not merely one. Ooops! Thanks for the heads-up! |
Strawberry | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 04:15 am     I was disappointed with the people that won cuz it wasn't the people I wanted to win hehe I get frustrated at the cable shows getting nominated. I think the Emmy's (to me) are about network television. Cable should have their own awards and stick to em! I was glad that Everybody Loves Raymond won. The tributes to the stars that have passed away this year was nice. And I missed the runners on E! I wasn't even reading what it said. I kept flipping channels from Fox to E. |
Texannie | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 04:57 am     Why didn't Bill Cosby take off his glasses!!!! Wonder if he has cataracts? I thought he was rather jerky to Wanda, but frankly, I didn't think she was all that funny with him. I also thought his acceptance speech was rather rambling. What was Tony Shaloub's speech? Heard it was rather touching. I didn't think I would like the co-host thing, but except for Shandling and Wanda, I thought they did a great job. Darrel Hammond was hysterical, and he did make some pretty valid points about how low will they go! |
Djgirl5235 | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 05:55 am     Strawberry!!!!!! AMEN! I am sooooo with you on that one! I am not a West Wing fan, but was glad to see it win over the cable show - especially since we get to see the Soprano's one and a half seasons after it's aired on HBO, and we just got Six Feet Under, and it's into it's third season. |
Ladytex | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 06:02 am     Am I the only one that doesn't love Raymond? |
Squaredsc | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 06:06 am     um no ladyt, it's not a fav show of mine. |
Ladytex | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 06:11 am     whew, that's a relief ... lol ... |
Maryk | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 06:12 am     I for one was disappointed that The West Wing won, it was their weakest year, the creator of the show was shoved out the door and ratings have gone down significantly. The Sopranos have never won and I think deserved to win this time around, JMHO. |
Sweetbabygirl | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 07:34 am     Dang, now I know why I haven't seen this show since Shelley Long BUTCHERED Ashford & Simpson's "Solid" years ago!! This sucker was more than three hours long; shoot, all I wanted to do was watch the John Ritter tribute and indulge in a little "bouncity-bounce-bounce" with the boyfriend....I had to watch three hours and fifteen minutes of this crap before I could get any?! Anyway, here are my thoughts.... Garry Shandling is such a cutie, I've liked him since It's Garry Shandling's Show. Monologue stank though. I wish that Uma Thurman had been nominated for Hysterical Blindness, she was great in that. Hoped that Juliette Lewis would have won, but I'm glad that Ben Gazzara and Gena Rowlands won for their work in the movie. Wanda Sykes - Sigh. There are just no words to describe how embarrassed I was by her. Don't get me wrong, I find her funny....but she was joking with an "old Hollywood" type of audience, so her style did not go over well at all. She won't be there next year. And how pompous was Bill Cosby when she came over to him? Initially, I thought his dourness was a joke, until he made the "We spoke English" comment....that's one man who I'd NEVER ask for an autograph, he seems like an a-hole big time. Brad Garrett....sorry Brad fans, but he turned me off big time with the salary demands, I don't see the humor in being greedy like that. The Ritter tribute was touching, albeit brief. I had hoped that Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers would have presented it, although Henry Winkler did a fantastic job. His watery eyes and choked up voice got me weeping again, I just can't believe that he's gone. And then came the additional tributes....Gregory Hines and Nell Carter were specific losses for me, loved them; Nell was such an inspiration to me and Gregory was up there with Sammy Davis, Jr. Finally, HOORAY for Debra Messing!! She looked great and I was so happy for her....now all the W&G cast have won Emmys, all well deserved. |
Not1worry | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 08:47 am     I used to love "Raymond". I don't even watch it any more. It seems like they made Patricia Heaton so mean to Raymond, like a shrew. They aren't even nice to each other. The thing with the brother continually being unlucky in love got old for me. Mostly though, I just thought they were trying to make it too "edgy" something. They had cuss words when the joke would have been just as funny or funnier without it. Oh and the salary thing too, like SBG said. YAY for Monk! Definitely my favorite non-reality show. |
Sasman | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 09:41 am     I found the Emmy's to be totally boring and switched to Criminal Intent at 9PM. And I also don't like Raymond anymore; all they do is bicker. They need a divorce! |
Julieboo | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 05:55 am     I thought the John Ritter thing was not very touching. I too, would have liked to see maybe Joyce or Suzanne talk. Did Bill Cosby really say that "speak english" comment to rip on Wanda's ebonics? Monk's speech was about his nephew who had recently died. I also agree about cable not being involved. They should get their own awards. Not everyone has cable... |
Ladybug007 | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:18 am     JulieBoo.....They cant overkill the fact that Ritter died...there were other people that passed on of just as much importance..for example...Gregory Hines... Cable has the Cable Ace Awards...but nobody watches those~! |
Twinkie | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:31 am     I'm sorry but I have my own opinion about Will and Grace. While I appreciate everyone else's opinion I have never thought Debra Messing to be funny. And for my 2 cents worth the show should have been named the Jack and Karen show. Those 2 have stolen the show as well they should have. They are really the stars of the show. I think Debra Messing's award was based on "oh well the rest of the cast has one so let's give her one." |
