It is a story about 1,000 years […]

Recap: 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards

The 64th Primetime Emmy Awards are history. Sunday’s telecast of the ceremony was ho-hum — in fact, some of the jokes and failed gags were down right painful to watch, so the writers responsible should hope they are forgotten real quick.
