Things I Learned From the People's Choice Awards 2018 | Tragic Comedy

Just looking over the results, and I saw a few things that I wanted to comment/ask about. Feel free to clarify and/or put in your new revelations! :)

1) What the heck is Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments and why am I just hearing about this??

2) Orange is the New Black is a comedy?? Did something change (as I haven't watched an episode recently), or is that considered comedy? Serious question.

1) It's another Harry Potter wannabe about a teen who discovers a secret magic underworld and must join a fight. At least it's not about a dystopia and/or a persecution of teens; we have enough of those.

2) Studios can choose the categories when they submit their shows for nomination, and thus game the system. It's been controversial for a while, in part because so many shows these days blur the line between comedy and drama. OITNB switches gears between them pretty often, but (imho) it has become more of a drama in its latter years.

Bonus post: Things I Think I Think

I was replying to Scott's post in Decidedly Undecided, and I started thinking it's nice to be posting again. Even if people were to find my opinions funny or misguided or flat out wrong, if the thought is out there, people can see it, and if I have an error in my thinking, maybe they can help me see things in a different light. I like that. Go »
