The Television Critics have spoken, and ironically enough, I like what they have to say. Earlier today the 2005-2006 nominations for the Television Critics Association awards were annouced and some of Give Me My Remote’s favorites were honored with noms. These nominations were so good that it was uber-difficult for me to pick my fave in each category. I mean…super hard. Really how am I suppose to choose between Grey’s Anatomy and The Office for Program of the Year? who do I betray? My head or my heart.

My random thoughts…

Um, did you notice that The Office is the ONLY comedy nominated for Program of the Year??? Take that TVGuide.com and your stupid Dream Emmy Ballot

MAD props must go to Lauren Graham for not only getting nominated (Gilmore Girls is too often overlooked), but nomiated for your comedy skills….and being the ONLY woman in the category against those comedy heavyweights. You go Lorelai!!

Speaking of Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, how about the combo of Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart? My Daily Show boys…ah, we knew you when.

Finally, you don’t know the anguish I felt choosing Grey’s Anatomy over my beloved The Office. It physcially hurt to highlight the name and hit CTRL B. I’m still not convinced that I made the right choice, but I figured since Grey’s was one hour and The Office only a half hour show, I had to go with Grey’s because they kept me addicted for double the amount of time. I’m sorry Office-ianados…I really am.

Hey guys I am moving into a new place in the morning & I’ve hardly packed, so sorry for the lack of updates.  Hopefully my internet will be installed in my new place tomorrow and I will be back up and running.  Until then, why don’t you head over to the GMMR Forums, meet some new people and chat it up about all things TV.

P.S. LC’s Laguna Beach spinoff, The Hills, premieres tonight on MTV.  I can’t believe I don’t have more time to talk about how excited I am for the show.  Seriously, if it’s half as mind numbingly addictive as Laguna I will be a happy girl. I’m Proud to be a Laguna Bitch!!

What does Michelle Rodriguez have to do to stay in jail? The former Lost star has elluded a lenghty jail stay for the second time in 2 months. Rodriguez was released from a Los Angeles County jail on Thursday after serving only 4 hours and 20 minutes of a 2-month jail sentence stemming from a DUI parole violation last December.

Just this past April, Rodriguez was sentenced to five days in an Oahu jail for her December 1, 2005, DUI arrest on the island where the actress was filming Lost. She served just 65 hours because the time she’d spent in custody after her arrest counted toward her sentence.

Maybe this one isn’t that hard, but it took me a few takes before I figured out who this was.
