TV THEME TRIBUTE - On Tonights Emmy's

Gosh Groban what a performance. He was given a chance to sing bits from tons of great TV theme songs. It was a real pleasure to see so many shows honored. While, Gosh isn’t my cup of tea he did a pretty a good job bringing these shows back to life for a brief moment in time.

Everyone is throwing up over Animated Movies!

I can understand why. RATATOUILLE won for best Animated. Now I’m sure it’s a cute movie. I’m sure the movie is screaming with educational messages. I’m sure that the movie symbolizes something much greater. However, for me, it’s just the thought of watching a RAT cook food – on the simple side there is just something wrong with that picture.

What do I know – Congratulations Brad Bird

Play a little Oscar trivia:

Did you watch the Grammy's?

I watched only some of the Grammy's. Why? My answer is actually two fold. First, I only watched some because I'm not big on Music Awards, so I didn't have a big interest in watching. Secondly, I did watch some because there was nothing else on TV. For me the highlights of the show contained Amy Winehouse cleaning up on the awards, the performance of LOVE and the very touching tribute song by Kanye West to his mother.

What about you? Did you watch? Did you have any favorite moments of the show?

Of course, I always enjoy watching the Dead People section of any award show. Does that make me sick? Sorry, but I love to pay my respects to all those who have been lost in the past year. Plus, it's always fascinating to see people you thought already passed away, but actually just died last year. Or those who you had fond memories of, but never heard of their passing you want to just go AAAWWWWW. While you may think it wrong of me; obviously, I'm not the only one who enjoys watching that segment or they would have removed it from the show. I think it's awesome that we pay tribute in our award shows to all those who helped pave the way in that industry.

I guess that concludes my take on last nights Grammy's.
