(Putting my Ed Anger hat on…) I don’t know what’s going on with this country when the Big Three broadcast networks only get 21 of the hundreds of Emmy nominations. This is obviously another sign of American decline. But of course, that doesn’t include Fox’s tally of… three nominations.
When did these cable stations and (what do you call them?) urination services, knocking off good old over-the-air stations like WNZ where you could get the baseball scores and weather in a half hour. Speaking of sports, a dozen and a half went to those fake football shows, Lasso and Wrexham. There was only one–ONE!–nomination for a real football show broadcast… and it was for the dang halftime show, not even the game.
Too many shows with words like “queer” or “drag” got noms, and I won’t even get into how many shows about sex–the right way or otherwise–are nominated. That woman who dared to put her lips on James Madison’s crystal flute got one. And the only show about good old exotic dancing to get a nomination was about male strippers! What is wrong with the U.S. of A?
