As per the norm, the show was WAY too long. The skit with the commercial stars singing was pathetic! The tribute to Rod Serling almost put me to sleep til they had the clip from the one episode. The biggest farce of the evening was seeing Tom Selleck get Best Actor in a drama series vs. guys like Travanti & the St. Elsewhere crew. Give me a break!!!! And Jane Fonda!! Come on gang (my political memories never fade). On the bright side, I was very happy to see Tyne Daly and Bruce Weitz get awards, as well as Jane Curtain. I was surprised that John Ritter got actor in a comedy, but though the show is dumb he IS good. The fellow who did the trumpet solo (what was his name) was tremendous and I hope this really gives him some exposure. I also got a kick of seeing the Anderson family together again. I can`t believe that was Lauren Chapin! At least they didn`t give out awards for best music video! Tom O`Connor ihuxw!tommyo
