  • The Emmys: A Dramatic Shift Toward Cable | Roush Dispatch | 7/17/2008
    If you heard someone momentarily flatlining in the audience at the reading of the Emmy nominations Thursday morning, that was me. They were announcing the best drama series candidates and I was mostly on board as I checked my list in the back of the TV Academy theater. Damages. Yay! House. OK. Boston Legal. I don’t approve, but I’m no longer surprised. Lost. OMG! Dexter. OM-Freaking-G! Wait. That’s five. Surely they didn’t leave out . . . And they didn’t. AMC’s dazzling Mad Men, the last to be announced, not only made the cut, it made history. With 16, it’s the most nominated drama of the year, and with FX’s Damages (seven nominations total), represents basic cable’s first-ever breakthrough into the top tier of Emmy accolades for best series. Mad Men also has to be seen as the odds-on favorite for best drama at this point.While we’re on this category—and let’s face it, this is the golden age of TV drama, so this really is... read more
  • Emmy Nominations: Mad Men, Damages Make History | Today's News: Our Take | 7/17/2008
    And the nominees are… in!Many of the usual suspects made the cut for the 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards that were announced Thursday morning, but freshmen dramas Mad Men and Damages earned nods in the Outstanding Drama Series category, making them the first basic cable series to be recognized by Emmy. The stars of each series, Jon Hamm and Glenn Close, each also received nominations in the Outstanding Lead Actor/Actress in a Drama Series categories respectively. HBO's John Adams won the day with the most nominations (23), including nods for Best Miniseries and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries for Paul Giamatti's portrayal of the miniseries' title character. 30 Rock (17) and Mad Men (16) rounded out the top three nod-grabbers.In an unprecedented move earlier this summer, the Academy revealed the 10 semifinalists in each of the major categories. A blue-ribbon panel then whittled the list to the final nominees (all of which you can see here).So, what do you think of... read more
  • William Hurt Previews His New Damages Role | Today's News: Our Take | 7/17/2008
    Oscar winner William Hurt tells Matt Mitovich about joining his old buddy — and new Emmy nominee — Glenn Close on Damages; his role as Patty Hewes' newest client, a consultant for an energy company, will give him the chance to explore "massive rights and massive wrongs." read more
  • The Joy of Sets: Damages, Tudors and Kick-Ass Cable Lesbians! | DVD News and Reviews | 1/30/2008
    Three good things about the writers' strike:1) No more Bionic Woman to disappoint us.2) Pepito the Wonder Chihuahua gets more "me" time.3) More chances to catch up on kick-ass cable shows on DVD!And let me tell you, that last one is a biggie, considering that a few cable shows I had to skip out on because of too many TiVo conflicts have just hit the shelves. One of them being FX's stellar, chilling Damages, which features quite possibly the single greatest performance of the last season. Is Golden Globe winner Glenn Close's Manhattan litigator Patty Hewes ingenious or pure evil? I'm not sure yet, but she is delicious nonetheless and I am having a hoot finding out.Centered around an Enron-type class-action suit against billionaire Arthur Frobisher — played with demonic menace by Ted Danson — the show should be about the case, since nobody does trial-angst better than Close (see Jagged Edge). But instead of courtrooms, we get boardrooms and some seriously twisted detours,... read more
  • Golden Globes: A No-Show Show | Roush Dispatch | 1/14/2008
    What if they gave an awards show and nobody came? That heretofore rhetorical question has been answered twice in the last week, with unspeakably unwatchable results.First came CBS’ comically corny and pitifully rated People’s Choice Awards last Tuesday. With its ceremonial and traditionally well-attended all-star party scrapped by the writers’ strike, this new and unimproved version (with winners accepting in awkward taped segments) was emceed by poor Queen Latifah from what looked like a drag queen's bunker. I only made it through the first commercial break of that sad excuse for a show before bailing.But I had no choice but to slog through all of NBC’s historic (for all the wrong reasons) telecast Sunday of what the network called “The Golden Globes Winners Special.” Though only an hour long, it felt much longer than the usual three-hour glamourfest as Billy Bush and Nancy O’Dell struggled to vamp their way through what can only be thought of as... read more
