The TV people put on a TV show to praise TV, but TV viewers tuned out in droves. The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards on the Fox network hit a record low with a dismal 5.8 household Nielsen rating — a 22% drop from last year, Deadline reported. Last year, the show pulled a 7.4 rating (10.2 million viewers). The latest show got crushed by NBC’s "Sunday Night Football," even though it featured the undefeated Los Angeles Rams versus the lowly Cleveland Browns.
TV's biggest night included all the virtue-signaling viewers have come to expect from awards shows like the Oscars and Grammys.

I did not watch the show. I also do not watch any of the tv shows. All shows promote left wing politics, and include 25 minutes of ads on the hour. Most people would want to miss that.

Award shows are terminably boring. Most of the “performers” are nobodies, not household names, and a mundane looking crowd.
They end up being no more interesting than a parade of selfies...

Truth be told, I'd rather spend that time in the Gynecologist followed by a root canal at my dentist's than watch that self-congratulatory, virtue signaling dreck!!

What were they expecting? That half the country after being insulted on a daily basis by them would flock around the TV to watch these morons congratulate each other? Most of what they produce is either unwatchable garbage or so tilted to the Left that it would appear that they are persuading us not to watch it And we don't.

Anyone who cares whatsoever about which Hollyweird actors won Emmys can probably find a list of winners the day after without having to sit through 3 hours of boring prattle. I do not care whatsoever, so I have not bothered to look for a list.

I don't watch any of the awards shows any more. They have all devolved into Trump-bashing hate fests!!!! Apparently I am not alone!!!
If I want to hear a higher degree of logic, reason, and facts than what these lie-beral elitists freaks are spewing, I will sit on the couch and listen to my old dog passing gas!!!!!

There is almost NOTHING on TV worth watching, plus these shows are populated by hyper-liberal “actors.” Reading and working on my ukulele technique occupy most of my evenings these days, and I don’t miss watching TV . . .

Trivia
"Emmy" is a corruption of "Image Orthicon" which was the first type of Television camera pickup tube.
The first color cameras had 4 such (Red, Green, Blue and Luma) with a 4 minute "wobble" on the scan to avoid burning in.
Personally I'd rather discuss the now obsolete technology than endure that show.

The lower the shows go, the less interesting ANYTHING about TV actually is.

I don’t watch television at all and haven’t for years but I would like to add a response that I learned from a Brit....
I’d rather be disemboweled with a teaspoon.

These events are probably more accurate polls than the MSM contrived polls.

They've destroyed our culture, so it's fitting that they've destroyed themselves in the process. That's always how it happens; God is not mocked.

I haven't watched any awards shows in over a decade, maybe two. Watching these twits pat themselves on the back and then lecture us with their mindless viewpoint holds NO interest for me. Most of them are amazingly stupid. It's all about image which is worth very little in the real world.

Why would anyone want to watch a bunch of self promoting narcissists congratulate each other about what a great job they are doing making more money per episode than many of us make in a year (or lifetime), then, they have the nerve to lecture us on how we need to live and give up things to save the world and that our politics are evil. They do this while they are doing the exact opposite of what they are preaching at us. If I wanted to watch a bunch of hypocrites on TV, I would just watch PBS, CNN, or MSNBC.

I'll match my disdain for that crowd against anyone's who is posting here, but I have to check myself: they got over 10 million viewers, about 5 times what a top-rated Fox prime time show gets.
So they have plenty of room to collapse further. (Fox has room to grow.)
Go for it.
