Thought I'd start a thread for tomorrow's show. I am not absolutely sure I'll see all of it, BUT I know from past years there are several of us that enjoy putting in our two cents.  Any of your favorites? Here's a couple. The link will have them all. TIS Outstanding Comedy Series Nominees:"The Big Bang Theory" (2007) "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (2000) "Girls" (2012) "Modern Family" (2009) "30 Rock" (2006) "Veep" (2012) Outstanding Drama Series Nominees:"Boardwalk Empire" (2010) "Breaking Bad" (2008) "Downton Abbey" (2010) "Game of Thrones" (2011) "Homeland" (2011) "Mad Men" (2007) http://www.imdb.com/emmys/nominations

I haven't seen many of them either. Mad Man IMHO isn't as good as it was at first tho I still tune in. I'm thinking that Boardwalk Empire might win best drama. Big Bang Theory is very good. I agree that may win best comedy. I am hoping HBO's Game Change will win something, especially Julianne Moore for best actress (Her Sarah Palin portrayal was wonderful); then again the entire cast was great. I liked Ashley Judd in "Missing" and though I only saw he very first episode, I was kind of hooked on "American Horror Story" and still want to see the rest of the episodes. I didn't see "The Walking Dead" on the list. I think that is a great show (though I fear there w/b many copy-cat type shows/movies) the originality of the theme will get worn out. TIS

I just don't like Modern Family. My brother thinks it's hilarious and begged us to watch it. We watched a few times, and I just didn't find it funny. Obviously, most people think it's funny, too, but I barely cracked a smile. I can't stand it either, Babe. The only ABC comedy that I like is "The Middle." That weird little kid makes me pee  .

I can't say I've watched Modern Family. I've seen previews and read good reviews, but it doesn't interest me. Yet, I admit there are very few comedies I watch. I prefer drama myself. PB, I like The Middle too, tho I don't watch it all the time. It is funny. TIS

As long as you're still watching "Hawaii Five 0," Tis. I can't wait for Monday. If my girl Kono dies, I'm flying out to Hollywood and hurting a producer  .

I liked Kono. (yes, I love Hawaii Five-0) Btw, I love the star, Alex O'Loughlin. Did you all know that he actually is from Australia and has an Australian accent? Blows me away that he can hide it. Much like House. I didn't know he was English. Anyway,I'm so disappointed and hope you are wrong PB. TIS

I don't think she's gonna die, Tis. I was just joking because I love her character so much. She's smart, pretty and tough. The perfect woman  . I've seen Alex interviewed a few times. It's amazing that Aussies and Brits do American accents so well. But when Americans do likewise, we all sound like, ello Govunah, spot a tea?

I didn't hear about any of the characters dying but I do like that the Kono in the new series is female who can kick ass.  Btw, (and I assume it's not a surprise cause I've seen previews), Christine Lhati makes an appearance as McGarret's mother (Thought she was dead?) hu?? TIS

TIS American horror story is great my gf made me watch it with her and i loved it. You should watch the rest of it here if you missed it http://www.1channel.ch/tv-2728055-American-Horror-Story sockshare and putlocker work best.

Camarel, Thanks, but how safe is that website to download? I always hesitate. Have you used it? I was waiting for HBO On Demand to repeat the ones I missed, but so far I haven't seen it. Thanks TIS

Thanks TIS TIS It's not a download you only have to click on continue as a free user then it should load as dvd quality i'm sure the GBB users you trust will confirm this for you. Regardless it's a great show and would be good to have a thread on it.

Thanks Camarel, I save to my favorites and intend to catch up. According to the Emmy list, American Horror Story is listed as a mini-series which makes me wonder if there will be 2nd season. First I'm gonna catch up and re-watch the last few episodes (or maybe season) of Walking Dead for their premier next month. I saw the last 5/6 episodes of Hawaii Five O yesterday and forgot how much I forgot. It was a great finale. Can't wait til Monday to see what happened to Kono. Anyway, I love that the show starts 5:00 here in CA. I won't have a problem staying awake. TIS

TIS No problem btw there will be a 2nd season with different characters and a different plot though after you've watched the first season you'll understand why it's going to be set in an asylum this link tells you who the characters are. http://www.tvfanatic.com/2012/08/american-horror-story-season-2-meet-the-characters/

Thanks SB, I always love looking at the gowns. When my daughters and I use to watch together, we'd all give our own commentary in the end we'd differ on who had the best dress. It IS hot here in CA. I haven't seen the temps, but in my area it's been at or close to 100. I'm guessing L.A. is a little cooler but still hot.  But 125??? Yet, I did just hear them say it was that on the Red Carpet. WOW!! TIS

They are interviewing Michael J. Fox on the Red Carpet. I guess he is nominated twice for guest appearances but I am not sure for what shows. He sounds pretty good, God bless him. TIS

Who is the naked girl?  TIS i have no idea, she kind of looks like the woman in southland (which isn't nominated). Kimmel is referring to her now. Her name is Lena something. She's a writer/actor/director. At least I think it's the same as the naked girl.  TIS

Hmm Don't know then. I don't watch Modern Family (first winner for supporting actor/comedy) Nearly every nominee was from that show. TIS
