I want to add one more thing... the dog beating from the family guy creator WAS disgusting and should have been cut. Shock value is getting old guys... try and have a social conscience or get into another profession , Michael Vickwannabee.
network could have done something better with the 3 hours
If you notice the comments closely you will see that all the " patriotic " icons chosen from the : far right, fox news devotees, pro my way or the highway, militia members and others who are no longer in any sort of power position, thankfully, HATED the show and anything to do with it. That's a fair and balanced report about the hate mongers.
This had to be the most boring show in the history of award shows. No real clips, no production numbers. ********** the Tony's for a few minutes, even if you aren't familiar with the shows nominated the presentation, timing and flow is just spectacular. Sorry Neal Patrick Horris, no matter how much you begged I did end up changing the channel....

Jessica Lange? She's the most boring actress of all time.
Switched Mad Men at 10 o'clock. Found the show boring - dresess were beautiful though. Host did a good job. But-------- sigh----
I hate just about every comment I've read here...
the show sucked. it was boring and distasteful. the worst show i ever saw. the jokes we not funny. abuse of the dog was sick.
shelbe200 Sorry, but I strongly disagree with you regarding actor Drew Barrymore and her red carpet dress. I believe it was one of the most beautiful, fit her perfectly, was gogeoust with her beautiful completcion and hair. She has rarely looked as beautiful. Again perhaps the experts should again re-think about how Drew looked. Not only beautiful, but highly intelligent, kind and as genuine as a person can be.
I thought the jokes were flat and not funny, the lags too long, the presentation was somewhat saved by Neil Patrick Harris' smile and great presence, and the awards show was most likely the most boring awards show I've ever "tried" to watch. I turned it off after about 45 minutes, because it just wasn't interesting at all...and I like the shows that were nominated.. I felt the show dragged like crazy
For those complaining about the cost of the gowns, did you know that many of the stars donate the gowns to an auction and the money goes to charity? I can't find the link right now, so there is some giving back. The mother from "Malcom in the Middle" started it a few years ago.
agnteightyeight........You are right on. Couldn't have said it better. In addition to the cost of the programming our homeless, troops fighting for our country plus all the chairites needing money for research for cancer, alzheimer's, etc. should be sent the cost of the gowns. Shame on those that spend thousands to impress themselves.
WE DEFINATELY COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT THE DOG BEATING ALSO "OH MY GOD" AND WHAT THE HELL IT IS STILL A TIME WHEN CHILDREN WERE UP AND BELIEVE ME, WATCHING , LEARNING HOW TO BE STUPID!!!
*sigh* That's Joseph CAMPBELL.
Family guy segment very distaseful. Dance segment was cool...but too little of Karina and Max. Please producers, eliminate the silly banter and just do the awards. Most of us ********** the show just want to see all the stars, how they are dressed and so on. The usually failing attempts at comedy by the presenters are just a waste of time.
I just recently saw a comment on here about the word "watch" being censored from a post, but can't find it now, so it was probably censored, lol. I'm against censorship on principle (unless we could find a way to censor stupidity, but then I guess 98% of board posts would disappear), however, I find automated "censoring" programs particularly annoying. I've noticed several posts where the poster has stated that chose not to watch the show - actually they typed the word "didn't" or the words "did not" followed by the word "watch." And voila, not counting the space, you have the letter "t" followed by the letters "wat", which of course, probably no one would have noticed, if not for the poor attempt at censorship causing people to analyze what was written. I'm interested to see what horrible words I may have inadvertently included in this post, according to the "auto-censors", or if it will be deleted in its entirety, since it is critical of the state, uhm I mean the application...
