The Emmy noms came out and there are literally nominations for shows I’ve never heard of. Lisa Kudrow must be so pissed about “Episodes,” which is about Brits exporting their TV show to America and being forced to cast Matt LeBlanc, who plays himself. Couldn’t we just solve TV by bringing back “The Comeback”?

Anyway, just like every year, there’s a Supporting Actress (Drama) crisis on hand. Michelle Forbes v. Christina Hendricks v. Kelly Macdonald??? And, in lead actress: PEGGY OLSON v. TAMI TAYLOR??? How is that a choice that can be made? Similarly, for the men: Coach Taylor v. Don Draper? Also, as usual, it’s The Emmys, and it’s hard to get excited.
