Emmy Awards
 

They have a special thing for 5 peeps who passed away and Jack Klugman wasn't one of them ? Some kid from Glee (whatever the heck that is) who OD'ed rates Jack Klugman and Larry Hagman ? Am i that out of touch ?

I don't watch award shows, so this is the first i heard about it- you're right, it's bananas. Especially because if they wanted entertaining stories about the actors from colleagues, Patrick Duffy tells amazing ones about Larry Hagman.

I watched an episode of the new Dallas last year, because I was such a fan of the original when I was a kid. Larry Hagman was clearly very close to the end of his life, but still obviously having a lot of fun.

Yes we are..kid from glee(which i've never watched) OD'ed and gets more press than the two old timers above..:zz:

I didn't watch this (got sucked into sitting through the horrible Dexter finale :( )

but I know the kid from Glee just died this year, and both Klugman and Hagman died last year. Maybe they we just recognizing recent croakers, by chance?

I can't believe I'm answering a question about the Emmys, but it was purely a demographic decision to try and get a younger audience to maybe tune in.
