Of all the shows mentioned in this rundown of the 2003 Emmy Awards<\/a>, I don’t watch any of them except Who’s Line Is It Anyway?<\/i> (Emmy to Wayne Brady for best individual in a variety ormusical program) and, occasionally, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart <\/i>(best variety series, and writing thereof).<\/p>\n

Looking at the detailed list <\/a>… well, no, nothing else awarded last night is something I watch. <\/p>\n

Only when we get into the “creative arts” ghetto (awarded a week ago) do we get a couple of hits. I have watched The Simpsons <\/i>(animated under one hour, voiceover performance) (though I watch it only occasionally, in reruns), Malcolm in the Middle <\/i>(“single-camera picture editing for a comedy series”) (though I haven’t watchd it regularly for a couple of years), Alias <\/i>(nonprosthetic makeup for a series, stunt coordination) (though I’m only just now starting to watch it on DVD), Firefly<\/i> (as earlier mentioned<\/a>) (and now it’scancelled), Samurai Jack<\/i> (individual achievement ni animation) (and I only watch it on occasion) — sheesh, that’s about it.<\/p>\n

I obviously don’t watch enough TV. And that’s fine by me.<\/p>\n
