I was pulling for Olyphant

That category was absolutely stacked (though I no longer watch House and have only watched a season of Dexter), even without Cranston.

I was very pleased that Margo Martindale won.

Also, Modern Family can't be that funny.

It is exceptionally funny.  Well-deserved wins.

Modern Family is really good. It probably shouldn't have had EVERY adult actor nominated, though. Why not do that for Parks and Rec or Community? Or, better yet, pick one from each show and spread the love. When there are four MF nominees in one category there is something wrong.

And don't get me started on Community not getting a directing nod. The bottle episode, the D+D episode, the paintball episodes...

Could not agree more, Junior.  I would throw the Pulp Fiction/Dinner with Andre episode into that mix as well. 

Interesting how both Parks and Rec started out with very weak first seasons but went on to become incredibly strong shows.  I heard Up All Night had a lackluster first episode, but if NBC continues to nurture their Thursday night comedies instead of abandoning them, I'll keep an eye on it.

Watched Coach's win on YouTube at lunch, he forgot to thank Mrs. Coach. He must regret that.

The Up All Night first episode was good. I also know people who seem to like the 2 Broke Girls pilot, but I haven't watched it yet. Kat Dennings is a girl I like, CBS comedies are a thing I don't.

Also, I detest Modern Family.

I accidentally watched 2 Broke Girls.  As unimaginative, crude and unfunny as I find Two and a Half Men.

I do find Kat Dennings somewhat appealing, however.

I was one of the 28 million who watched The Kutch last night. That was the first time I watched that show. It's not very good; however, seeing The Kutch is always fantastic!

I caught it as well - first time I saw a whole episode.  Not as awful as the ones with Crackity Sheen but, as you said, not very good.

2 Broke Girls wasn't too bad.  Laugh tracks are weird though.

That's my biggest concern, I don't know if I can get around it. I mean a lot of the Disney shows use them, as do the Nick shows, but those parts always get to me. Yuck.

Awkward. was great tonight.
