Everything you need to know about the 2016 Emmy Awards

Leave a comment

TV’s biggest night returns this Sunday with the 68th annual Emmy Awards. Will standbys like Game of Thrones and Veep take home best series trophies once again, or first-time series nominations for shows like The Americans, Black-ish or Mr. Robot result in any upsets? And how will Jimmy Kimmel tackle his second stint as Emmys host?

I love television and this is my favorite awards show because there seems to be a higher than usual nerd factor here than The Oscar’s which seem to be a little more reserved and traditional. TV is my favorite old-school medium.

First World Problems – “Weird Al” Yankovic. A Little Perspective Is Good #firstworldproblems

Leave a comment

Sometimes ones problems need to be held up the light of perspective and satire. “Weird Al” Yankovic does a great job of that. First World Problems makes me realize life ain’t all that bad in the grand scheme of things. Tomorrow it will have been one week since seeing him in concert.

Anton Yelchin who played Pavel Chekov in the Star Trek movies, recently directed and produced by JJ Abrams, passed away overnight from injuries sustained from an auto accident. He was just 27. He was talented and way too young to pass. Boldy go Anton.

ABC is showing no mercy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has axed long-running drama Castle, fan-favorite series Marvel’s Agent Carter, musical comedy Galavant, beleaguered series The Muppets, and The Family, which is a show we’re told was on ABC. Earlier, the network canceled the country soap Nashville after four seasons.

Wow, ABC Television used a machete in its cancellations today. A lot of liked shows got the axe. The three most important are Castle and Nashville which had enthusiastic followings. It will be interesting to see what they trot out for the fall and where stars of these shows end up.

Rambling About Generational Superstars

1 Comment

When your generations superstars begin to pass into eternity you begin to think about your own mortality. We are here for a time on this place called Earth and we must make the most of it. The music of our times is the soundtrack of our lives and it is the artist, the freak, the geek, the eccentric that creates that sound. I am grateful to every person who dared to dream and to make the world a better place. We can be heroes if we dare to go crazy.
