I didn't watch the Prime Time Emmy Awards Show last night for much the same reason that I no longer watch the Grammys, Peoples Choice, the Oscars and all the other awards shows. They don't pertain to me anymore. Of the dozens of awards that were given out to TV shows, I've seen only one or two. Back when there were only 3 stations and PBS to choose from, I was familiar with most of the shows and was usually watching something every night. Now with hundreds of channel choices I tend to only watch shows that interest me and very seldom sample the latest hit drama, comedy or "reality" shows. I haven't listened to, or paid attention to any music that came out after 1980 and by the time I see movies on video, the Academy Awards have already come and gone. I guess it is just another sure sign that I'm no longer in the prime demographic that new shows and music is aiming for. Another sign...I stumbled across an info-mercial yesterday for the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast video series and realized that Dean and everyone on the panel, who I used to watch on TV and in the movies, died long ago.
