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.

24/25-X-2007 or That's What I Get...

I really shouldn't try to write this late, since it messes up the date protocol. But, since the whole protocol was fairly arbitrary, and I made it up to boot, I guess we won't dwell on that. :) Golly! Go »

25-IX-2009 or GooCon Post Event Report

I'mma let Scott do his post-event report, but Aaron Shurtleff is the greatest live GOO game champion of 2009 ever! And now a short listing of in-jokes from Goo Con Citrus Ridge: Push it, Bowwow. Push it hard. Go »

16-VIII-2006 or When the cat's away...

Woo hoo! My boss is out of town! Supposedly, I'm in charge, but it really doesn't work that way. Go »

20-X-2006 or Peer Pressure

I've heard from sources that will remain anonymous (if I spelled that right...) that my blog has blog fans. Hel-lo, groupies! Go »

2-IX-2021 or Seriously??

No one was going to tell me Danny Trejo had a cookbook? I feeling let down over here. Also, if there was any concern (and there shouldn't have been), I was not working in my office in Annapolis when the tornado went through, so I am just fine. Go »
