The Emmy Awards show on Sunday spend much of the time bashing Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and the woman bashing didn’t help turn viewers in. The reviewers were terrible, and there were 18% fewer viewers this year than last year, and last year was bad, but this year was the least watch Emmys in history. It doesn’t pay to bash a woman, even when you disagree with her politics. Here’s what others said:

USA Today: "It was hideously awful from start to harried finish, dragged down by five amateurish reality anchors who would have been unwelcome as guests, let alone hosts."

MSNBC: "The Emmy telecast offers quality that’s dismally lower than nearly anything else on television. "American Idol" and "Dancing with the Stars" deserve plenty of criticism, but even their worst episodes — typically their results shows, as they lack content and waste time — are more engaging and entertaining than the Emmys … The Emmys need to dump their producers and directors, hiring a team who knows how to produce popular television."

AP: "Are the TV writers still on strike?"

Zap2It: "The entire gambit of letting the Emmy nominated hosts handle the show proved a dud on nearly every level. None of them were funny and because there were so many of them and each of their egos had to be stroked, the bloat kicked in almost instantly."

Fresno Bee: "You could take all the elephants in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, feed them rancid chili and rotten boiled eggs for a month, and they could not create a bigger stinker … The night was supposed to be a tribute to 60 years of television. It ended up being a reminder that people grow old."

Next year everyone at the Emmys should just wear wife beater t-shirts instead of tuxedos, and fart a lot for comic relief. It’s like Hollywood is trying to alienate their audience.
