Vote for the candidate of your choice at least once?? Did he mean it as "You should vote for the candidate of your choice at least once in your life" or exactly what he said?

They're both well executed shows in their respective genres. 30 Rock is the funniest show on the air (along side It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Pushing Daisies is like having a weekly Tim Burton show that's obsessed with death. Not everybody has the same sense of humor, as is evident by 2 and a Half Men's ridiculously high ratings.

Fair enough. That's your take. Pushing Daisies isn't my genre, so it may be good, I don't know. I don't really care either though, no offense of course.

As to humor, I can't get into 30 Rock. I tried, time and again, and don't like it. Love the Office though, and despite it's mid-season slump last year, I still think it gets too much criticism from many people and often overlooked too much because it's a remake. Many go into watching it with disdain and that's all they get out of it because that's all they want to get out of it.

But as said, humor varies quite a bit. I'm no fan of 2 1/2 men either and think it's overrated. But oh well, that's just my take. To each his own.

I think the show just told that writer to go screw himself.

You know the guy in the control booth just rolled his eyes and said cut to commercial.

For a guy talking about articulating articulate speeches... wait was that really the best he could come up with?

Naw, unlike the girl at the Academy Awards, this guy had his chance.

Horrible idea.
The only good thing to come out of Phil Keoghan not getting nominated is that he didn't have to embarrass himself tonight.

I'm watching it on Tivo now. Fast forwarding the commercials and most of the crap and I have to say the "Laugh In" segment was beyond horrible. I heard laughing but it had to be canned. Lily Tomlin looked great, but shame on her for agreeing to this.

Alec Baldwin wins lead actor for comedy.

Shocker.

*sigh* In other news, glad Paul Giamatti won. Always enjoyed him.

But having Tom Hanks call her "Mom" was comedy gold.
