EMBARRASSMENT: Was This Year's Daytime EMMYS the worst Ever? Hell Yeah!

Soap Q

I have never been to the Daytime Emmys, and I don't see it ever a possibility ever again. The EMMYS was last night, (I Think). After Years of being in Mid May on a Friday with a preceding Prime Time Episode of Y&R or DAYS was the hey day of the 90's. Back in the 70's and 80's the genre stayed in the Daytime and saluted Daytime. Soaps, Talk shows, Games shows and Children's programming. The Only cheesy thing about it was the Soap stars performed an opening number. But was always True class and dignity. Soaps used to the Broadway of Television, but it has been pushed aside as Joke.

For the second year in the row, The Emmys were held in June when no one was watching TV. Last year on Pride Day and this years on Father's Day.

From the silly opening number with Vegas acts and Wayne Brady, who's Game show (Let's make a Deal) killed GL and replaced it. This show or Brady were not even nominated. They passed out a few awards that no one knew because they showed no clips. Created an award for Oprah who Tape a speech a month ago (When she still had a set). Focused on Elvis, Celene, Elton, Donnie and Marie (At least they have worked in Daytime, 10 years ago!), Penn and Teller Once appeared on OLTL 20 years ago) Anderson attended. Barbara Did Not, (More time on PSAs and Informercials of Vegas.) BORING to fans of Daytime.

Before I forget, Bold and Beautiful (a show that now one cares about) wins for Best Show. The Bland and Boring, Brittany Allen (AMC) over Powerhouse Actresses (If they showed the clips even the audience would see the comparison).
