2011 Emmys

Modern Family did well, this makes me very happy.
The no show of Raising Hope makes me sad but the lady above allas brings me joy!
I do hope Mad Men will run for longer than the 5 series it's been hinted at.

I thought they'd confirmed there would be 3 more series?
On the plus side, I've only watched the first 2 so far. Having a little gap but series 3 is sat there waiting for when I'm ready.
Treat
I think you're in for a treat, I thought that season 3 was much better than 2. A lot of Season 2 seemed to struggle to transition from a one series story into something that had staying power. Season 3 didn't have the same constraints so they could just get on with intertwining the stories.
I heard 5 then... dead
I hope I meringue.
Lemme just post these to let everyone know we need more and that we're all singing from the same hymn sheet.
No John Hamm (obviously) because he's waaay too handsome.
No man on earth should look as good as he does!
*right click save as...*
Christ.
Two words, both "hubba".
Can't remember who, but last night someone on Twitter said "It's like a genie gave Christina Hendricks three wishes and she chose 'bigger boobs' for all of them."
Regarding the toothsome Ms Hendricks
I vouchsafe that she does display a most charming embonpoint and the images above of which do rest most pleasantly upon the eye.
Mind you, that's straightforward enough when you've got fucking massive tits like what she has.
A younger Christina features
in 2 episodes of the late lamented Firefly.
She plays a very sexy baddie (or would you prefer "a very naughty girl").
The dvd's worth it just for that but I was a big fan of the series and the movie Serenity which rounded the storyline off after the moronic TV execs canned it.
Reasons to watch Firefly
you forgot to mention her taking off her clothes in Firefly.
And for people of a different orientation, Nathan Fillon doing the same.
but honestly, it is a bloody silly idea but a great series.
And it also starred
Morena Baccarin, the woman who plays uber-bitch alien queen Anna in the re-booted V series. In Firefly, she plays a kind of intergalactic courtesan who has a history with Cap'n Mal Reynolds
With her long hair in Firefly
She's possibly the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
not forgetting
Summer Glau, Jewel Staite and Gina Torres. Joss Wheedon does appear to have an eye for the ladies.
Not 'arf
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Eliza Dushku
Alyson Hannigan
Amy Acker
The slightly oriental looking one who was in Dollhouse
(and more recently Torchwood)
and not forgetting the pneumatic
Charisma Carpenter.
Joss(Jack The Lad)Wheedon
It must have been Hell(mouth)
to go to work in those halcyon days...
Double
post, sorry :-)
Good Call. Lenny!
I was so taken with her acting that I really hadn't noticed the rest of her. And now that I have, I expect that i shall be thinking of little else for the time being.
What is it about these well-proportioned red heads? Here's a picture of Audrey Fleurot out of Spiral / Engrenages, acting.

I would pay good money...
... for photos of her when she was a goth student living in London.
Good money??

I was hoping for something black & lacy...
... but I'll take what I can get.
"No Jon Hamm, obviously?"
Not having that, Mr Blast.
It's only fair. If you lot are going to lech, then this Word Bird will have her turn, too:
Don Draper...
...see I only fancy Don Draper, not Jon Hamm.
Without the clothes, suits and with his hair longer and pushed off his face, Mr Hamm doesn't do it for me much at all. I probably still would, but with not quite as much enthusiasm as if it were Mr Draper.
I think we may be
singing from the same hymn sheet, Jo.
In the words of The Crystals: "We'd do Don, Don, Don, not Hamm, just Don."
Hell!
I think I would too!!! :)
Cracking pair of...
Emmys?
Modern Family's great
Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen both deserve their awards. A great comedic pairing.
Not watched Game Of Thrones but always good to see Peter Dinklage getting something.
Kate Winslet looked stunning - as per normal. Ariel Winter provoked some disquiet.
Game of Thrones is great
Having read the books I had my doubts but was pleasantly surprised.
Peter Dinklage is terrific - about as far from The Station Agent as it's possible to get.
I'm about to start the second part of book 3
and agree that the TV show is pretty much bang on in terms of an interpretation. Dinklages portrayal of Tyrion in the show was absolutely brilliant; I thought most of the lines were written for the show, but a hell of a lot of them crop up in the books.
Anybody who's *not* seen Game of Thrones and given it a wide berth because they don't think they'd like "that sort of thing" is advised, by somebody who had the exact same fears, that they really really really should give it a shot.
GOT - Fantasy for people who don't like fantasy
Agreed on this point - as someone who gave up on Lord Of The Rings after the first film, I feared the worst from GOT, but was pleasantly surprised... in fact, aside from the ambiguous intro to episode 1, it could all be taking place in some alternate medieval kingdom, and there actually isn't anything magick-y in it [SPOILER!] until the end... and Peter Dinklage is ace, of course.
Modern Family's good but Parks and Recreation is really great
That's the show that should have cleaned up the comedy awards. Especially the fella who plays Ron 'F-ing' Swanson.
Get the episodes by naughty means or buy the R1 Dvd's. It's brilliant.
Justified
Margo Martindale's deserved award for her mighty Mags Bennet, surely the best TV villain of the year
Blimey
but the show "The Emmys" was surely designed by people with Attention Deficit Disorder for people with Attention Deficit Disorder..It was bloody puerile!
Fox
indeed!
Modern Family
It is consistently excellent. I am half way through the second season and their hasn't been a dud.
The writing and performances really are out of the top drawer and at a rate of 4 or 5 laugh out louds per episode it acts as a real tonic to the comedies being peddled whose modus operandi seem to be more about making you 'think'.
Sod thinking for once, show me funny.
G.L.O.Riye Ay! my latest object of desire
and terrible filty lust
she makes me laugh too
Honestly. You'd think we were a bunch of breast-fixated letchers
But, I must say...
I don't know about you lot
But l am
Wadda'bout
that smile?
Oh Lordy!!!
She has teeth?
I hadn't noticed.
Doctor!?
