What's Playing in the Media Room - September 23rd

64th Primetime Emmy Awards - 8:00 - ABC/CTV
Jimmy Kimmel hosts the 64th annual gala from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. HBO's 81 nominations are more than any other network, and "American Horror Story" and "Mad Men" are tied for the individual lead with 17 each. Presenters include Louis C.K., Ricky Gervais, Ginnifer Goodwin, Mindy Kaling, Jim Parsons and Amy Poehler.

Thoughts from the Media Room: After looking at the nominations, I ask. What would network television do without The Good Wife? It's the only Network Drama that even gets a mention during the show. Everything else Drama related is Cable! Come on Network Television, can't you develop strong dramas?
