But much of the production seemed strangely stuck in a hazy past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Why, for instance, did host Kenan Thompson only uncork his best material after the first commercial break, after an opening during which he staggered through choreographed routines to TV <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a> songs? And why were those songs <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly for <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> not honored at this year\u2019s Emmys? We began with \u201cFriends,\u201d moved into \u201cThe Brady Bunch\u201d \u2014 with a brief shoutout to the cast of that classic sitcom sitting in the audience, not to be mentioned again \u2014 and ended on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a> of Thrones,\u201d the big winner at the last pre-COVID Emmys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Back then, the Emmys didn\u2019t have to reach to find ways to depict TV as a uniting force: The best drama winner made it so. But there was something striking, in this year\u2019s broadcast, about quite how much TV\u2019s marquee opportunity to honor its own ended up seeming embarrassed by its own medium. Television presented a lot for audiences to potentially latch onto; the Emmys seemed, at every turn, to bristle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    This is a criticism of the broadcast, not the awards-giving body. After all, the Emmys this year honored shows that are as wildly varied as \u201cSquid Game,\u201d an ultraviolent Korean drama; \u201cSuccession,\u201d a razor-edged business satire; \u201cEuphoria,\u201d a gonzo meme machine weighted with teenage emotion; \u201cThe White Lotus,\u201d a dark nightmare of luxury living; \u201cTed Lasso,\u201d a sports-centric empathy-fest; and \u201cAbbott Elementary,\u201d an actually successful network comedy. All of these series have constituencies, and significant ones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    So why was the opening of the show dedicated to promoting \u201cFriends\u201d and \u201cThe Brady Bunch,\u201d and \u2014 frankly \u2014 so much of Thompson\u2019s relatively tepid material about the differences between streaming services? (Thompson\u2019s most plugged-in moment came when reuniting with his old Nickelodeon colleague Kel Mitchell; the pair\u2019s kids\u2019 show \u201cKenan &amp; Kel\u201d last aired in 2000.) <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s impractical to expect an Emmys broadcast to feature clips of any real length, or to avoid truncating speeches at all: Part of what is satisfying about the broadcast is the clicking into place of category after category, allowing the prizes themselves to build narrative. But interstitial matter seemed to waste time while having only the vaguest idea where the pulse of culture was: Even fans of \u201cLaw &amp; Order\u201d must have been only mildly satisfied by a Mariska Hargitay\/Chris Meloni comedy sketch, and those who tuned in because they\u2019re fans of one of the legitimately popular shows that were actually nominated were likely bored stiff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Meanwhile, the show\u2019s announcer, \u201cSNL\u201d writer Sam Jay, seemed confused and out-of-sorts \u2014 defaulting to saying the people onstage were hot when she ran out of ideas \u2014 while on-call DJ Zedd played baffling pop songs, seemingly pegged to nothing at all, for winners\u2019 walks to the stage. Would it have been a moment in time if the multiple \u201cWhite Lotus\u201d acceptance speeches had been punctuated by that memorable theme song? I guess we will never know!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    There were great moments throughout the Emmys \u2014 mainly generated by articulate winners, including, particularly, Zendaya, a second-time winner honoring those whose struggles with substance abuse match her \u201cEuphoria\u201d character\u2019s, and Jean Smart, enjoying her moment while wondering if some \u201cHacks\u201d fans are a little too young to be watching the show. And I appreciated both the pathbreaking sense of the \u201cSquid Game\u201d winners in the best actor and best director fields in drama, even as both seemed to hustle through their speeches, conscious of the red light about to flash. But if the Emmys\u2019 interest is going to come from the honorees and not the production, I craved more: An eagerness to end things on time meant some speeches, notably Jennifer Coolidge\u2019s, were cut short. (If there\u2019s proof Emmy producers didn\u2019t pay close enough attention to TV in the past year, it\u2019s that they assumed we\u2019d lose interest in Coolidge\u2019s perfectly askew rhythm of speaking.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But the Emmys, for good or ill, must end on time, and must include a monologue and various shoutouts to the home network. And one must be glad they exist, to put in one place a celebration of so much that is spiky and unusual and fun about television. It remains hard to fathom, though, that the celebration itself is so staid, so afraid of leaning into the quirk and intrigue that has made TV such a rewarding medium for its creators, who sat through a Kenan Thompson dance routine in person, and its fans, who sat through it at home, or skipped it in favor of watching \u201cSquid Game\u201d or \u201cHacks\u201d or whatever great thing might win next year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
