...how is The Big C a miniseries now? I knew you could go from miniseries to series, but series turning into miniseries?

Oh they gave it a subtitle. That explains it.

It was a half hour series renewed for a 4 hour-long episodes billed as a miniseries. Seasons less than 6-7 episodes are considered miniseries by default if just because the contracts are different.

It might even that The Big C was "canceled" and then The Big C: hereafter was picked up as a miniseries. You can't do less than 6 episodes per season.

Same with American horror. Bull shit to get series that would otherwise be ignored into a weak category where they can win.

American Horror Story was always in miniseries, though, so that was less whiplash-y for me. I'd assume Downton can't come back to miniseries after it broke to series after the first season was so well-received.

This opening bit is just going on and on. Why don’t they have Harris at least singing and dancing since at least he’s capable of both. Instead, we have to watch Fallon do it? (“I wouldn’t do anything like that. It’s far too gay,” chides famously out Harris.) Not 15 minutes gone and already pornography and homosexuality mentioned.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: No wonder half of America hates Hollywood.

Nikki Finke is a nightmare.

Beat out Jason Bateman, Matt LeBlanc, Don Cheadle, Louis C.K., and Alec Baldwin. But any regular watcher of The Big Bang Theory, and I am, knows that Johnny Galecki was far funnier last season than Jim Parsons whose Sheldon is increasingly written as one-dimensional whereas Leonard had all sorts of interesting prisms to his part. That said, Parsons (who first won in 2010) rushed through his acceptance speech like he was in 4X fast-forward and triple-parked.

Of course she watches The Big Bang Theory.
