61st Annual Emmy Awards

Could the be another year for firsts?

Around this same time last September, the execs of basic cable were thrilled to see one of their own finally win the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series (Mad Men). Meanwhile, producers of reality fare saw an award given to one of their hosts (Jeff Probst). So which other category could be covered during this round? Animation.

For the first time since 1961 (when The Flintstones were still on air), an animated program has been nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series. So will Family Guy finally go where The Simpsons has never gone before? Not if the six other contenders have anything to say about it!

So who won? Who lost? Which funnyman took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor since Jeremy Piven wasn’t even nominated? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!

Family Ties

Michael J. Fox to Rescue FX Fans

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, FX, Gossip

Michael J. Fox

He captured our hearts as ultra-Republican, straight-laced Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties…and then he broke our hearts when he announced he suffers from Parkinson’s. didn’t actually say he’d never act again…but he did make the possibility sound somewhat remote. So, it is a happy (and rare) event that he will soon appear in exactly four episodes of the FX hit Rescue Me.

According to the general manager and president of the network, Fox’s character will be “very funny” and “very original.” He will play a man who is confined to a wheelchair, the new boyfriend of Janet (played by Andrea Roth). His first appearance will air on the show’s fifth season premiere, slated for the spring of 2009.

Fox made the decision to retire from full time acting in 2000, after announcing two years before he was suffering from Parkinson’s disease, which causes muscular deterioration and tremors. He appeared in several episodes of Boston Legal in 2006 and has made a few television appearances since leaving the full time scene.
