• Brooks Barnes wonders, "If awards shows are experiencing a renaissance, why are the Globes struggling?" His answer: "NBC is no longer a ratings powerhouse. Because of the saturation of celebrity news coverage, the telecast’s primary draw -- a room full of A-listers -- may be losing its allure. And while the producers talk about the coming show’s “anything goes” vibe, stars in the YouTube era are more self-conscious." The solution: "Cramming even more stars into the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton hotel; hiring a host -- the British actor and comedian Ricky Gervais -- for the first time in 15 years; broadcasting the ceremony live from coast to coast; mixing up the order of the awards; following the telecast with an after-party show; and turning up the volume on the marketing."

Newsday (McT) -- "Family Guy"? "Family Guy"?! "Family Guy"!!?? Yes, indeed. There's a different whiff to this year's Emmys, wouldn't you say? When a show this rude, crude, and towering with 'tude gets a nod as best comedy, then I think we can all agree that Sunday's "61st Primetime Emmy Awards" are not the Same Old Emmys. Much is about to change. Much probably has to. First, a given: This is a very strong field, overall. But that doesn't boost numbers, and, as producer Don Mischer explains, "Our goal is to maintain the integrity of the Emmys and to make the show more…...

Welcome to TV or Not TV where I’m excited for the fall.
Every year when Labor Day rolls around I start to get excited. Yes, there is some initial dread because I know that the morning road ways are going to start to swell slightly with the congestion that comes from the freshly school bound (as well as my other working class brethren who’se summer vacations are well behind them). For the admitted TV addict, however, one of the thoughts that can get them through the early days of September is the knowledge that there will be new TV to watch.
With the inevitable onslaught of new shows and returning favorites I find myself one DVR short of being able to record everything that I find interesting . This is probably a good thing becuase curing this situation woud lead to weekend upon weekend of me living the life...
