WRONG WING: I didn't watch

WRONG WING: I didn't watch much of the Emmys last night, but did watch enough to catch the outrage of "The West Wing" once again winning Best Dramatic Series, defeating (among others) "The Sopranos" and "Six Feet Under." Now granted, 'Sopranos' didn't have its best-ever year, but neither did "West Wing"- in fact, 'Wing' has gotten worse every year it's been on the air. Try watching the first-season reruns on Bravo every night, then the current stuff- it's a joke. At any rate, the award represented a last hurrah for its erstwhile creator, the original Coked-up Werewolf, Aaron Sorkin.
Even worse, "Six Feet Under"'s amazing third season garnered exactly zero awards. Where's the recognition for Peter Krause? Frances Conroy? And don't get me started on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" losing Best Comedy Series to "Everybody Loves Raymond." Ugh.
