Avatar (Blu-ray) (With DVD) (Special Edition) (Widescreen)
Could a show that opened as Glee-fully as the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards possibly go wrong?
Well…
Preliminary Nielsen numbers show last night's Jimmy Fallon-bossed telecast was down double digits from last year's Neil Patrick Harris-led revival, and potentially on track for an all-time audience low.
Potentially.
The stats are far from final, and comparisons are far from fair. Last night's show aired during, rather than after, summer vacation, and, for the first time in recent memory, went out live on the West Coast.
Fallon himself ran even with Harris in terms of generating goodwill—and great reviews—for his hosting work.
A sampling:
• "As a white-tuxedoed, wandering minstrel, Fallon played perfect host…," judged the Los Angeles Times, which also praised the Late Night host for his "surprisingly good Green Day."
• "Fallon brought an energy to last night's awards show that's long been missing," enthused Media Life.
• The "Born to Run" opener with the cast of Glee, Jon Hamm, Tina Fey and Fallon on lead Bruce Springsteen guitar rocked, said us—and pretty much everyone else.
All of this prompted New York Magazine to ask the musical question, "Were These the Best Emmys Ever?" (Its verdict? "Pretty good!")
Now, if only more people had watched, and, you know, Lost had won something… Anything…
