Idea for the Academy to come to the networks with next year if they can do it live and in person: have Kelly Clarkson host! She can perform, has a hot show to promote the awards, and has a large fan following who would casually watch.

I was thrilled to see her win. Her talk show is the best new one to come out in ages and she radiates such a warm kindness that I appreciate so much every afternoon!

Ratings are in: 0.3 in the 18-49 demo (4th amongst shows on the night) and 3.05 million viewers. This isn’t great numbers wise but it’s not a total flop either. I hope the Emmys get with CBS to consider a new contract. Also there is no rule this has to be on a Friday so they can be creative with scheduling.

I really liked the presentation of the show. It looked professional and was smooth with lots of easy flow to it. It has certainly beaten recent years with Underwood’s “jokes” about what she’d do to Mario Lopez that were never funny and would get her fired were she a man. My only quibble is they didn’t get someone of more stature to present best drama. Kelly Ripa is not the legend La Lucci is or even someone like Phil Donahue. But all in all this is what I had in mind when I suggested this spring they should go this route and I’m pleased to see them nail it and do so on network television where it belongs.

I think GH and Y&R were too similar in tone and tenor in their writing. So far I’m 0 for …everything. C’est la vie.

I read that those episodes were always fraught with tension to produce because if you had a pre emption you were screwed plot wise. Which makes sense especially given how much “Breaking News” we have had in the last year.

EmmyLoser remember back in the day when they used to do special primetime episodes of the soaps as a lead in?  Oh for the glory days…

EmmyLoser, recall that the lead in for the Daytime Emmys the last year it was on CBS was a same day reairing of Bob Barker’s final Price is Right which gave it a huge headwind. I will say it is interesting seeing some more articles in mainstream media promoting the show than in recent years.

Edit: My bad I see they had it in 2010 and 2011. I think if it pulls down 4-5 million it’s a success. I really would like to see it return to network TV even if it airs in daytime hours.
