We had Peak Television in the 2000s.

Every year since the 2023 Emmys (aired in early 2024 due to Hollywood Labor disputes) the record for most Emmy wins for a Comedy Season keeps breaking.

2023: The Bear (Season 1) - 10 Wins including Comedy Series

2024: The Bear (Season 2) - 11 Wins but not Comedy Series (lost to Hacks Season 3)

2025: The Studio (Season 1) - 13 Wins including Comedy Series

2026: Widow's Bay (Season 1) - 14 Wins including Comedy Series

Do you think next year's winner will break Widow's Bay's record. Maybe 15 - 20 Wins?

Shrinking is one of the best comedy shows today!!! Nothing against Widow's Bay but I still wish Shrinking won some Emmys, especially for Harrison Ford and Jessica Williams. I knew they wouldn't win this year but I really hope next year is the lucky one, if they're eligible.

Jason Segel for Lead Actor Comedy will have a lot of tough competition with Martin Short, Jason Sudeikis, and maybe Seth Rogen and Matthew Rhys.

Harrison Ford and Michael Urie for Supporting Actor Comedy Nominations again. I really wanted Ford to win this year for that Season 3 Finale.

Jessica Williams is very overdue for Supporting Actress. I knew she wouldn't win against Kate O'Flynn but maybe next year will be her big win!!

Shrinking still doesn't have a single Emmy. Let's hope that changes with Season 4.

What's your favorite season of Modern Family?

Favorite Season that won the Emmy?

22 Years Ago today, the Pilot Episode of Lost premiered. It was an episode that would lead on the one of the greatest shows of all time. A landmark in television history.

At the 2005 Emmys, the Pilot episode of Lost later won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series for J.J. Abrams and Season 1 of Lost won Outstanding Drama Series.

Are/Were you a fan of Lost?

I watched Season 1 of Ozark. It wasn't bad but it could've been better. It had some good moments but felt slower than most shows.

I love the actors but I'm having trouble if I should continue or not.

Anyone else couldn't handle Ozark?

Should I keep going?

I really hope Gary Oldman and Keri Russell finally get their Emmys next year.

I knew Noah Wyle was going to win again but I was really hoping for Gary Oldman to pull a surprise upset. Maybe Season 6 of Slow Horses will finally give Jackson Lamb his Emmy!!!

Rhea Seehorn was always going to win Lead Actress Drama and I LOVE RHEA WINNING. But since Pluribus Season 2 won't be ready before next year's Emmys, I hope Keri Russell can finally win her overdue Emmy for Season 4 of The Diplomat!!!

Anyone else hoping for Gary Oldman and Keri Russell to win next year's Emmys??!!

This is one of the greatest anthology series I've ever watched but it appears to be seriously underestimated. My top ten of all time and yet it's never ranked. What could I be missing or I have a unique taste?

My top ones from here are ER, The Pitt, Scrubs, House, and Nurse Jackie.

Hiro Murai just made history as the first Asian to win Outstanding Comedy Directing!!! With his win for Widow's Bay, he finally won a Directing Emmy after a couple nominations in Comedy, Limited and Drama. Here are his past Directing nominations:

2018: Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series for Atlanta (episode: "Teddy Perkins") lost to Amy Sherman-Palladino for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ("Pilot")

2022: Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series for Atlanta (episode: "New Jazz") lost to MJ Delaney for Ted Lasso (No Weddings and a Funeral)

2022: Outstanding Directing for a Limited Series or Movie for Station Eleven (episode: "Wheel of Fire") lost to Mike White for The White Lotus (Season 1)

2024: Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for Mr. & Mrs. Smith (episode: "First Date") lost to Frederick E. O. Toye for Shōgun (Crimson Sky)

2026: Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series for Widow's Bay (episode: "Welcome to Widow's Bay") - WON

Did you think Hiro Murai should've won for Atlanta, Station Eleven and/or Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

Jason Bateman previously won Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series back in 2019 for Ozark. The episode was Reparations, the Season 2 premiere!!

David Harbour previously won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for DTF St. Louis back at the Creative Arts Emmys this month!!
