It looks like the Emmy Awards lost viewers this year. They
actually did a good thing by keeping acceptance speeches short, so I thought I
might actually last the course; but they had one fatal flaw.
Awards shows—or, as I like to call them, the Who Can Show
the Most Cleavage Without Actually Falling Out of the Dress shows—have one
thing in common:
They aren’t funny.
I’ve got to assume that they put talented writers on the
job; but it seems like the very act of writing for an awards show turns the comedy-writers’
brains to mush.
So if you want people to watch awards shows: Make them entertaining, not
lame.
The End
