Emmys Most Memorable Moments!
Does Buffy stand up against Brian's Song? Does the end of Grey's "bomb" scene hold a candle to Moonlighting?
The 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards invites TV enthusiasts, like you and I, to ostensibly settle such debates as part of the "Most Memorable" theme that is in place for this year's kudocast.
To vote on the 20 comedy and 20 drama finalists, go to ABC.com and while away a good 45 minutes of your day watching some truly memorable clips. The top five vote-getters in each category will be honored during the awards ceremony airing Sept. 21 on ABC.
We love the idea!!! Plus, even though it was never shown the Emmy love, the Academy still decided to include it in this poll. How much would it rock if it won the people's choice?
It's baaackkkkk
Just like a genital warts flare up, The Hills is back for another round tonight at 10pm on MTV. We can't wait to see if Audrina moves out, if Lo is really a bitch, and of course how Lauren cries black tears. Seriously ladies waterproof mascara, it works we swear. And of course we have missed stick figure Heidi, Spencer's flesh colored beard and area nightclub, like a lot. In case you had a life this weekend and missed the marathons or the in depth specials (an we mean into the show not the brain capacity of the cast) here is the season 4 trailer to get your Hills going.

Joshua wins SYTYCD
is anyone else really disappointed about that? I wanted Katie to win. She should have.
Well, WILL should have, but still.
I mean, Joshua was great, don't get me wrong, but Kat CONTINUED to say how Katie was born to dance.
Oh, well.
