As if the Emmy's didn't ruin Sunday enough

All of downtown L.A. was blockaded by limousines Sunday, rendering my single desire to go to the Fresh Fare Ralph's on Flower St. impossible. All I wanted was some pretentious arugula and brie to nibble on whilst I enjoyed the one thing that makes my heart go all atwitter: Mad Men.

But no. ABC had to give their annual ass kissing to all the shows on their network nobody is watching, while ignoring anything decent on air, and rewarding the host of Survivor for not drowning yet. I could live with this display of redudancy, but then you had to go and give me a REPEAT OF MAD MEN??!

Sulking back to Channel 4 I deigned to watch this replacement excuse for entertainment, summed up best by New York mag's Lane Brown:

Where do we begin? We don't know, which we guess puts us in league with the show's five emcees — Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst, and Ryan Seacrest, the nominees for best reality-show host — who kicked things off with an awkward, run-on non-bit about how they'd failed to prepare an opening bit. Then, because the brightest, most creative minds in television simply couldn't think of anything more clever, William Shatner was invited onstage to rip off Heidi Klum's clothes.

Heidi aint bad... but she doesn't hold a candle to Betty Draper.
