If so, I'll use that format for other places where I think the people would be extremely interested in this group of videos. If not, I'll figure something else out.

Quote from: Matt H. on July 16, 2009, 11:19:39 AM
Emmy nominations were announced this morning and there were BIG surprises:
No best comedy nominations for UGLY BETTY, THE BIG BANG THEORY, TWO AND A HALF MEN, or DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Instead, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS and WEEDS and FAMILY GUY and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER landed in the category.
No best drama nominations for GREY'S ANATOMY, THE SHIELD, RESCUE ME, '24,' THE MENTALIST, BURN NOTICE, THE CLOSER, or TRUE BLOOD. Instead, only two network shows (LOST and HOUSE) are represented with the other nominees coming from cable: BIG LOVE, MAD MEN, DEXTER, DAMAGES, BREAKING BAD.
Nice to see Jim Parsons finally win a nomination (Best Comedy Actor) but I was very disappointed for the actors in THE SHIELD, all of whom did award-winning work and who lost out to less deserving nominees.
Since I watch very little network TV, the Emmy's don't mean a lot to me, but really--six to seven nominees for each category?
Between this and the ten Best Picture nominees for the Oscars and the Tony Awards Committee cutting out the critics in voting, this is truly the year of dumbing down entertainment awards.
But doesn't the fact that you DON'T watch much network TV mean that your opinion is not really based much on the facts?
The fact is that the quality of TV dramatic shows has never been as high or rich, and they could have EASILY filled the deserving nominee slots with ten or more drama series that are truly worthy.
There are fewer comedies that I would say that about, and my own feelings about increasing the Best Picture Oscar nominees to ten is well known (I think it's absurd).
But you don't know what you're talking about in terms of drama series.
DR Matt, why don't you go back and carefully read my post, in which I said nothing about the quality of TV shows. I was bemoaning the fact that for almost every Emmy category, there are six to seven nominees. IMHO, no matter if there is an over abundance of sterling picks out there in TV land, when you expand the nominee pool beyond five it only serves to diminish any value of the process. It's no longer "an honor to be nominated"--it's now just more possible. And don't kid yourself into thinking the increase of the number of noms has anything to do with the quality of current television. It's pure pandering--to the creators, to the producers and to the potential audience of the awards show.
As far as my not knowing what I'm talking about as far as TV is concerned, I know crap when I see it. I don't have to step in it to insure that it's crap--I walk around it. And 90% of TV today is crap.

Last night as I was watching STANLEY AND LIVINGSTON on TCM, it occurred to me that Charles Coburn was in every major motion picture made between 1938 and '45, with the possible exception of THE WOMEN (though I haven't completely verified that.)
But then again, I might not know what I'm talking about.

bk,
Even if you don't like LOST, you should no doubt revel in the Blu-ray presentation. Eye-popping and ear-popping in every extreme, and the first two episodes (which was the two hour pilot split in half) were given a movie sized budget, and the Blu-ray takes advantage of it with that great location photography and sound that is far and away superior to what most TV series have.
-
I went ahead this morning (since it's my day off from my workout) to finish THE LOVE BOAT episode I had started last night. This was the one with the three members of the Mills family.
Hayley got the worst of it being paired with the stumbling, bumbling Fred Grandy who had a crush on her but couldn't act normal in her presence (he had Walter Mitty-like daydreams where he was a gallant knight or James Bond).
Juliet was divorced from David Hedison but he was trying to reconcile.
John was Celeste Holm's chauffeur who booked passage on the cruise ship and began romancing his boss as an ordinary man, not her employee.
True to the show's light spirit, everything turned out fine for everyone.
-
So I'll continue watching and writing up THE LOVE BOAT today. Even if THE TOWERING INFERNO comes (and there has been no UPS truck so far this morning), I'll finish up with THE LOVE BOAT today (if I'm not overtaken by a diabetic attack due to its overly sticky sweetness).

RE: The Tony flap:
VARIETY used to sponsor theater awards every year that were strictly critics' awards in all the major categories. A simple majority of critics' choices determined the prizes. I'm not sure when this stopped (late 1960s maybe; I can remember seeing the awards' results for shows like THE HAPPY TIME, I believe).
Perhaps that could be reinstated.
-
And, of course, the Donaldson Awards (which predated the Tonys by a few years and which stopped in 1954) might also be reestablished.

I will say that my 2 least favorite dancers went home. But i was not happy with the other 2 in the B4. Those are my 2 favorites! I get why jeanine was top 3 (she had the best dance of the night on wed). But i'm puzzled why janette has ever made B2. Same with Evan! I get he is popular. He seems sweet. But Ade is way better. I used to really like brandon. But he's been annoying me more and more every week. I really like kayla. She just shines. I guess the audience doesn't like melissa and ade as much as i do. :(
-
I still have last week's TRUE BLOOD to watch. And i'm recording a high school musical type movie that i believe was on nickelodeon (which we don't get here) called SPECTACULAR (it stars the girl who plays Colleen on Y&R).
-
I also have last night's THE LISTENER to watch. I know the pilot did not get good reviews. But i really like it. The lead guy is very good. AND it's always very interesting to watch.

As far as my not knowing what I'm talking about as far as TV is concerned, I know crap when I see it. I don't have to step in it to insure that it's crap--I walk around it. And 90% of TV today is crap.
It may very well be crap to those who watch it, DR Dan (the Man). But saying it's all (or 90%) crap without actually watching it carries no weight. Your statement speaks for itself. You are damning TV shows without watching them.
It's like reviewing something without listening to it, reading it or watching it.
The idea of a TV show may not appeal to you....but you will never know whether that impression means anything until you've actually seen the show.
As for your contention that nominations in excess of five becomes meaningless -- except as a means of pandering to producers, et al -- consider this: Nominating committees are a handful of people poring over videotapes submitted by production companies and networks.
For far too long, many wonderful shows and performers have been omitted while these committees confine their nominees to the shows they select for the top five.
Sure, there have been exceptions. But this new way of doing things opens the choices up and allows many formerly disgruntled Emmy voters a greater opportunity to actually vote for whom "they" consider to be the best....not a select few designated by some nominating committee that was under pressure to submit five nominees from a vast field of deserving contenders.
As you have made it clear that you are contemptuous of TV, color me puzzled that you have anything to say about Emmy nominations at all. Why would you care?
As for your "crap" analogy, well....I know an uninformed opinion when I read one, too. You have every right to hold and express opinions, but if you're going to post them, don't be surprised or offended that someone comes along and stickes a few pins in them. You would certainly do the same thing, I believe.
-
I don't know - I don't watch TV, but, for example, when I do have occasion to flip around the dial and watch things, a lot of the highly-lauded shows I see are, at least for me, indeed crap. I've seen a CSI or two and just loathed it as well as some others. But it's all horse racing and everyone is entitled to their opinion, informed or not, just as everyone is entitled to comment, hopefully in a nice way. As to awards shows, well, I think they may as well just nominate everyone now - there are no rules anymore, so just put 'em all up and have three winners in every category. The fact that the Tonys will now have only presenters and their ilk voting on those awards means it's going to even more meaningless than it was.

Good Afternoon!
While I was out earlier, I stopped in to check in on DR elmore. He's still dealing with quite a bit of discomfort, but he's moving around (his apartment) more than he was yesterday. He's trying his best to get his work done while dealing with the "distraction" of his pain, and since he has to get some of that work done, I'm pretty sure that explains his current errant and truantness here. Hopefully, he'll finally hear back from his doctor and x-ray tech this afternoon, as well as get his pharmacy to deliver his meds.

Just what is the running time of each episode of "The Love Boat"? -Since there weren't so many commercials back then.

Hmmm.. Tonight's free concert in Central Park presented by the New York Philharmonic will be featuring baritone, Nathan Gunn, singing Copland's "Old American Songs". Hmmm... I think I may have to dig out my blanket and picnic basket. -Mahler's First Symphony is filling out the program too!

The regular episodes run a tiny bit over 49 minutes.
And no, no FANTASY ISLAND episodes are included in the review box nor do I have any on hand here to supplement what I'm watching.
Frankly, if I hadn't been off for two weeks, I wouldn't have reviewed THE LOVE BOAT. CBS/Paramount sent it to me for review, and since I didn't have anything else, I went ahead and did it. If I had been swamped like I usually am, I would have offered other reviewers on the site a chance to review it. (I'm not sure anyone would have taken me up on it.)
-
And, no, THE LOVE BOAT was a Saturday night staple.
-
I watched last night's ROYAL PAINS while I ate lunch. Pretty good episode. Again, the MacGyver aspects of his job are always interesting and fun.
-
I watched three more LOVE BOAT episodes.
The first had Fannie Flagg and Gene Rayburn, both dog lovers, romancing. Debbie Allen led poor Ted Lange on and then broke his heart by choosing her old boy friend over him. Dennis Cole also guest starred in the episode.
Someone on the regular cast/crew always seems to fall in love with someone making the voyage.
-
In the second one I watched, it was Gavin McLeod's turn to fall, this time for Samantha Eggar. Arthur Godfrey and Minnie Pearl were an item (I know!), and their children Elinor Donahue and Warren Berlinger objected (of course, they fell in love with each other, too).
-
In the one I just finished, Lauren Tewes fell for Paul Burke in a May-December romance. Arlene Dahl and Leslie Nielsen battled and fell in love while their children including Mark Shera also fell for each other. (Note a recurring pattern on the show.)
Biggest shock on this one was a thirteen year old boy who also had a crush on Lauren. Turns out the young actor's name was Patrick Labyorteaux who went on to star in all those seasons of JAG when he grew up. I knew he looked familiar, but I couldn't place him until I saw that unusual name, and then I knew exactly who he was.
-
I had time to watch the Phillip scenes and the Adam scenes on today's THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. Phillip's son Chance looked spectacular in that army uniform!
-
Then I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing of interest, but Luke/Noah was in the previews for next week.

Taking a break and waiting for Mr. Spirtas to arrive who, if he's true to form, will probably be late. I got a few packages today, but one thing seems to be completely lost. It was sent from Orange County on the 9th and is sitting somewhere undelivered. It's an insured package, however, and they will have to pay up - I'll of course get a refund from the seller, but I'd rather have the item. The USPS really is the most inept institution - but I always thought if one insured a package that those would be given special care, so they wouldn't have to pay.

Well, it's a one joke premise. But there are parts that are amusing. Virna Lisi is gorgeous; the Neil Hefti score is cute, and New York, and the set for Jack Lemmon's apartment capture a nice time.

This week, my dvd watching has been a mixed bag:
I have watched every episode of TORCHWOOD CHILDREN OF EARTH, which I found to be one of the finest series ever aired.
Then, I spent my time watching TORCHWOOD's first season, and there's the mixed bag. . .some great episodes, some stupid episodes, but always entertaining.
Tonight I shall begin TORCHWOOD season two. . .

I'm curious if anyone watched last night's BIG BROTHER?
And if so what did you think of Chima's bleeped out speech? I think even with the bleeps most could get the idea of what she was saying (how a vote for braeden would be a vote for a racist).
Although i'm sure most viewers were confused since CBS edited the fight with braeden vs lydia/kevin. They showed B calling L a skank (well she is since she had sex with jessie on camera). But they edited out the most relevant parts of the fight. Braeden called kevin racist terms against mexicans (although kevin is black asian). I don't know why they did that. I guess they didn't realize Chima was gonna out the incident on the live show! :)
-
I watched last night's ROYAL PAINS while I ate lunch. Pretty good episode. Again, the MacGyver aspects of his job are always interesting and fun.
Agreed, however....................................
POSSIBLE SPOILER
his original diagnosis was rather quick (I suppose he doesn't have the luxury or confirming with an x-ray) and I think DR TCB would groan at the easy fix of the correct diagnosis.

It certainly may be watched on its own, and I am living proof, having not seen an episode of TORCHWOOD prior to "Children of Earth." I didn't know until this week's Entertainment Weekly arrived today that it has not been shown in the US yet. . .
"Children" was recommended to me by a Facebook Friend and I was indeed hooked.
Gwen, Captain Jack Harkness, Ianto and Rhys are all present in this short (five episode) season, but since I've still to get to Season Two I can't really say if it picks up where that season left off. . .all I know is that "Children of Earth" should not be missed by sci-fi or good television fans.

And what if we weren't enamored with TORCHWOOD?
-
Though it was expected I'm sorry to hear about Walter Cronkite, the man was around forever. What a wonderful long, productive life he had.
Yesterday I read Frank McCort, of ANGELA'S ASHES is gravely ill with meningitis and is not expected to survive.
-
Well, I came to "Children of Earth" with no preconceptions and found it to be remarkable.
When I started watching the first season, I found TORCHWOOD to be an iffy proposition. There are some really fine episodes, but, for the most part the thirteen episodes seemed to be lacking footing.
"Children of Earth" tells a harrowing story at a gripping pace - with only five hours of season time - and succeeds even for this uninitiated one.
So I'd say that you might be more enamored with this particular season than you were with TORCHWOOD.
In retrospective, I think that seeing those four very strong characters (Gwen, Ianto, Rhys and Jack) dealing with this particular world threat is what made me seek out the first two seasons, to find out all I could about their respective backstories. . .

The regular episodes run a tiny bit over 49 minutes.
Just out of curiosity, what is the "yield" on an hour-long program today? :-\
I remember that the TV Sirens I worked on (15 years ago!!!) the syndicated version in the states ran with all the credits 40 minutes!!
The Canadian network version has a couple of extra scenes and ran a few minutes longer. It usually was a scene at the end of the story
They run around 43-44 minutes including opening and closing credits.

The first dust storm of the season is starting.

I wrote the play using the pages program that came with the MAC and saved as a PDF to print it out at work. It looked fine on the MAC screen, but printed out terrible. Margins all over the place. Couldn't figure out what I did wrong. My co-worker told me that PAGES is an terrible program to use.
This is surprising to me, but I've trying to read up on what I may have done wrong but to no avail. PAGES I thought had screenplay/play template but I cannot find it again.
So what I did I spent the balance of the evening and tonight transferring the play to my PC which has my Final Draft program and using that.
I tried to "migrate" the program to my MAC but having problems doing that. I deactivated the program to do the transfer, but for some reason I get all the files, but the application in the transfer. And I don't want to pay $2.50 a minute to find out how to do it.

TOD
Probably watch some Star Trek on Blu Ray, The episode look fantastic. Even better on my friends LED set
-
DR td, thanks for your thoughts on "Children of Earth". Are you feeling any better?
-
And of course tomorrow is my first reading.
I am pretty sure I over wrote. As I did this over a period of a month. Each of the seven scenes are self contained and can be parred down to get the show to a reasonable running time. I will video tape the readingso I can sea and hear what needs to be done.
I will probably read the stage directions which are very limited at this time.
Of course it just might be perfect and I will be opening the play at the Helen Hayes Theater this fall.

That would be nice DR Michael S. :)

Re. The Emmy Nominations
I see Carol Burnett was nominated for an Emmy for her guest performance on Law and Order: SVU. I thought the role was over done, but I knew that she would be nominated. However her fellow guest co-star did a much better job (his name escapes me but played Shaggy in the Scooby Doo movie) and had a wide range of emotions as to Burnett's character. I think Burnett was nominated not for the performance rather than her playing a role she hadn't done before.
-
I meant ti mention that two other actresses were nominated for guest performances for SVU Brenda Blthyn (I don't think I saw this episode) and Ellen Burtyn (which I did) I missed the opening and didn't realize she was on it and didn't recognize at first. She was so good and was everything Burnett wasn't
Of course this is my own opinion and I love Carol Burnett I just think her director failed her
-
The voice over category is strange too.
One nomination is for narration of a program and the others are voicing cartoon characters,
There used to be a category for voice animated characters and never saw this as a voice over. They really are acting with the voices like they used to do on radio.
-
Looking at the major categories (programs and acting) I realize how few programs I have actually watch this last year and this is from someone who worked in the industry. I have really lost most of my interest in tv and films I think theater is where its at for me (I always enjoyed acting in theater more than film or tv)
So I am as I said earlier I am looking forward to my comeback.

NO!!!

Another American institution is gone. R.I.P. Walter Cronkite. I wasn't old enough to realize the impact for those who grew up with Edward R. Murrow when he died, but folks must have felt the same way then as we do with Walter's passing.

Somebody posted the musical of Lost Horizon on You Tube. (In various 10 minute parts) I haven't compared it but the first 20-30 minutes looks like a scene for scene / shot for shot of the original.
The cut musicals numbers have shown up as separate clips, but I am not sure if they are in the movie posted .
There is also a clip with Peter Finch singing in his own voice.
Still looking for the infamous reprise of Living Together with Maria (Olivia Hussy) dancing with muscle men in a ring around a rosie type of dance. It is referred to later in the film by Sally Kellerman right before All The Thing I Will Not Miss.

I finished THE LOVE BOAT tonight before having the rest of the evening for myself. The first episode had Sonny Bono as a KISS-type rock star who wanted to be a ballad singer and who falls in love with a deaf girl. Also paired as a love couple in this episode was Charlie Callas and Jill St. John!!!! Typecasting, eh? NOT! Peter Lawford and Dana Wynter played a married team of mystery writers.
-
Page Eight Dance!!!
-
In the second episode, Cyd Charisse and Craig Stevens played long ago lovers separated by WW II and who were reunited on the Love Boat. During the course of the show, Cyd sang "I'll See You Again" (poorly) in her own voice. Also on hand were Charo (making a return appearance from season one) and Stiller and Meara as a married couple with six children (one of whom was a very, very young Corey Feldman).
-
And the season finale found Ken Berry and Beth Howland together, Nanette Fabray and Barry Nelson finding out they were going to have another child after six children had grown up already, and Ethel Merman and Bob Cummings as Gopher's parents.
Bob Cummings looked completely out of it, obviously reading lines off cue cards out of camera range, and late in the show had to sing "Sonny Boy" which he raced through with no attention to timing or phrasing of the song. He must have been in really bad shape when this show was filmed.
-
When I finished my work, I watched last night's rerun of THE MENTALIST which had Patrick squaring off against a psychic who revealed some hurtful layers under his polished surface.
-
Next, I sped through today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Nothing of interest in it.
-
Then I watched two episodes of VERONICA MARS from the first season.
In the first show, Veronica was hired to find the school's parrot mascot which had been stolen before the big basketball game with the school's crosstown rivals. Fun episode with a surprising perpetrator.
-
And I closed out my evening viewing with a second VERONICA MARS episode. In this one, she was trying to find out who was sabotaging the school valedictorian from studying for her midterms and potentially losing her class rank. Not as good a case, but the underlying investigation on the death of Lilly Kane revved up quite a bit with this episode.
-
Well, I'm off to the theater...the movie theater! It's Harry Potter time!
Until later...much later. We're going to the 9:40 (or the 9:50) showing. Either way, I need to run a couple of errands first.

Good Evening!
...About half-way through Mahler's "Symphony No. 1", Alan Gilbert motioned for the orchestra to stop playing, and then they announced that would be stopping the concert for the evening. Ah, well.
However, I did have a great time out on the Great Lawn. I ended coming across a friend of mine I hadn't seen in a while, and since he had already "camped out" a great space close to the front, well... :)
I did get to hear Nathan Gunn warm up - he was in very good voice - and the Copland songs made up the first half of the program. -I thought tonight's programming was a little weird: the Copland set (20 minutes), Intermission, and then the Mahler (55 minutes). But, in the end, it all worked out. We got all of the Copland and about half of the Mahler before the rain started.
*And it was a nice, warm, gentle rain. I didn't even use my umbrella while walking out of the Park. :)
-
DR MattH - Patrick Labyorteaux - or "Laborteaux" as he was sometimes billed - was also on "Little House on the Prairie". His brother, Matthew, was also on the series.
-
DR Michael S - "Brenda Blethyn", "Ellen Burstyn", "Pepperidge Farm", "Olivia Hussey". And the "The Jeweler's Shop" was written by "Pope John Paul II". -Or "Pope Paul Eye-Eye" as some of my fellow sixth-graders liked to call him when he was elected.
;)
*Sorry, I've been in proofing mode lately.
-
DR Michael S - Yes, "Pages" can be quite the mess of a program, however, if the PDF preview looked good on your computer screen, it should have printed out properly. Are you sure you have the right - and updated - printer driver installed? Did you try to print out anything else? I also know that sometimes a loose printer cable can cause printing issues. Just unplug/plug the cable, then try another test print.

Hmm.. I'm just reading the Wikipedia on the Brothers Laborteaux. It says that Matthew is the "adopted brother" of Patrick. But then it also says that Patrick was adopted too - and was, in fact, labeled "unadoptable". So... I'm guessing they were both adopted, but were they related before they were adopted? The whole "adopted brother" phrase is confusing me. ::)
*Btw, I used to have a crush on Matthew. And I still remember that episode of "Little House" when his character, Albert Ingalls, ended up with a drug addiciton - morphine, I believe - and they devoted an episode to him going through detox. It was the first time I saw someone vomit on TV. -I'm guessing bk missed that episode.

There was actually a bit "Torchwood" spoiling going on on Twitter a few weeks ago when the series aired in Britain. It actually showed up as a "trending topic". Alas, some unsuspecting American viewers ended up clicking on the "topic" not realizing what kind of information was awaiting them.
