Baldwin nailed Trump like few others could. He totally got his bizarre gestures, his spastic moves, which sometimes border on a minor epileptic fit, his utterly crazy and BS laden streams of consciousness, his foibles, his hatred, his racism, his greed, his intolerance of women, and minorities, his incompetent leadership, his blowhard expressions, his hubris, arrogance, and his ignorance. And he made all that look funny! Kudos to him for  his talent as a comedian.

 

Most presidents would find it all very funny. Not Trump. His extreme level of insecurity, combined with his enormous ego, and need for self gratification, make him extremely intolerant of criticism, and extremely needy, when it comes to approval.

 

One great thing about Trump, is that he has given the comedians so much good material to work with.

You just gave me several new shows to watch.  Thanks!!!

 

 

All of them are great. Only watched the first episode of Ozark so far, but it was astonishing TV! Fargo is over the top great. First season was one of the best TV shows I have ever seen! Martin Freeman, and Billy Bob Thornton were remarkably good. Second season was good. Third season looks great so far, with Ewan McGregor in a stand out performance, playing two brothers. Have you been True Detective? Season one was astounding. Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey working together was a sight to behold. Rome, the Tudors, Hell on Wheels, Deadwood, Spartacus, Generation Kill, Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Power, Empire, the Shooter, I could literally go on for hours.

No. Completely wrong. There are at least a dozen amazing shows right now. Or more. It might have been the narrow minds of the voters. But, not the lack of talent on American TV. At least not the cable channels. Perhaps the bias on the past of the Emmy people is starting to loosen up. Hard to ignore the incredible talent, on shows like Game of Thrones, Ozark, Goliath, Fargo, House of Cards, Stranger Things, the Walking Dead, and so many other great shows.

 

Ozark….turned off after 2 episodes….fargo didnt watch after billy bob left….walking dead is for zombies….GOT…..OMG.

 

The edgiest series last year IMO was The Young Pope and it didnt even get a nomination.

It might have been edgy in concept, but could not get past the first episode, and I like Jude Law. Seemed silly, contrived, deliberately nasty, and kind of pointless. Not liking the zombie genre, is not really a reasonable reason to disqualify a show for it's dramatic content. And as far as Game of Thrones goes, whether or not you are into the fantasy genre, in no way speaks to the extraordinary production values of this show.

We're loving Ozark.  Love the 2 main actors.  At episode 4 now. 

 

Thanks Mike!
