Well, yeah, but you gotta admit what is going on in Washington is off the rails cray-cray, and normalcy has flown out the window.
And the repugs are going after the AHC and Medicare yet again without doing the research and without providing the CBC scores before the election.
This is when we have to be aware and utilize the power of the people.
Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. Calling people snowflakes for caring about their country, about climate change, about equal rights for all and about health care is just silly.

Freddie Highmore from Bates Motel should have taken best actor this last season he was fantastic. And so was Vera she should have got best actress but because they are smar educated and not knocking America they aren’t in the running! Hollywood if you hate our country and the men and women who spilled their blood so you could run your ignorant mouths please leave go to a communist country please my husband will gladly fly your stupid ignorant ass there

I hear you, Timmm! That protracted, unabated hatefest against our president and the non-stop identity politics on parade were completely distasteful and uncalled for….I’ll never understand how any sane—perhaps the operative word here—-showbiz type can think that alienating roughly half of a prospective viewing audience is a good idea! (Same goes for the NFL and ESPN with their constant political showboating that has nothing to do with sports!) As you have stated, people just want to be entertained, not prosletyzed, insulted or demeaned because their opinions happen to not comport with the so-called cultural elite….

Thank you, Charday! I appreciate it!

Thanks for the backup, Soaphound! The self-importance on display was pervasive and nauseating, not only by Brown but by others…

Turning again to the daytime Emmys, I got tired of multiwinners Tony Geary, Erika Slezak, and Kim Zimmer.

Yes, we do tend to love things to death in this country–our parks, our stars and our shows. For instance, La La Land was a perfectly lovely little movie but it received so much acclaim that many felt let down upon seeing it. Big Little Lies was, in my opinion, pretentious tripe with style asserting itself over quality. “This is Us” is okay but the writers and directors seem to be trying to make viewers cry. It’s the Barbara Walters of drama series and yes, we are also loving that show to death, and therefore a show I once really… Read more »

Hi Soaphound…I saw Sterling’s speech so differently than you. Well, first let me say I just googled it because after watching Nicole Kidman practically have a tug-of-war with Reese to hold the Emmy for best mini-series or whatever the category was that brought them all to the stage…though Kidman had only a short while ago babbled endlessly when she won best actress..yet she was determined to speak again even though Reese just spoke for the cast. Once Kidman grabbed the statue and had to add her own commentary I was so annoyed by her ego that I turned the show… Read more »

Hello there, Shay! Thanks for your reply and your defense of Lithgow. I didn’t see that performance, and I trust your judgment. I just feel that, in general, the Emmy voters tend to be repetitive when it comes to their selections. I realize it’s all subjective, nonetheless. Take care, Friend!

Okay, Shay, you’ve sold me! Take care, Friend! 🙂

Hey jamesj75…yes. I noticed that. It was very sweet and Ms. Dowd was adorable and seemed truly honored to have won. She came across as so sweet got me teary. I watched her play a tough lunacidal woman in The Leftovers so I was surprised at her gentle demeanor.

I agree with you both. Like JLD but come on, this is over kill!

James…EXACTLY, BROTHER!!!!! I was never that much of a Seinfeld fan. And, I only watched The New Adventures Of Old Christine because of Wanda Sykes…and CERTAINLY NOT for that Julia Louis-Dreyfus chick. N-o-p-e.

Talk to ya’ later, Brother.
