It (Should Have Won) An Emmy

So there I was, enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon watching TV, watching a replay of the world's most popular program (according to a 2006 article reported by the BBC), CSI: Miami. (Quick aside: As you can deduce from this post and a previous one, this blog has a... "thing" for CSI: Miami. More about this in the future.) During the commercial break, the network trumpeted its lineup of shows that received nominations for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. Then came CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and CSI: NY, nominated for a couple of technical awards. And there I was thinking that CSI: Miami was coming up next, but it's name didn't come up. One of the first thoughts that came to my mind was complete and utter surprise. After all, to paraphrase Ricky Bobby, that show won an Emmy. For what, you ask me? For Best TV Show Ever Made, that's what. (For more Will Ferrell gems, click here.) The second thought was about whether the extra pancakes we had for breakfast were still good to eat. But all thoughts of hunger were swept from my mind by the egregious ("Egregious!" echoed Captain Jack Sparrow) snub by the Academy for Television Arts and Sciences. Not even one nomination for CSI: Miami this year. Hopefully, they realize the error of their ways next year and give the show its proper due. Or else, Miami justice will take its course.

And if you're curious, the episode I was watching featured a near-abduction of a child by a pedophile, sorry, Man-boy love, umm, advocate(?) And because we're big fans of promoting ourselves, I hope you enjoy this rant on NAMbLA. (Yes, the segue was weak and tenuous, but we love promoting ourselves, so there.)
