2008 People's Choice Awards: Is this what the people wanted?!

Did you sit through all 2 hours of the 2008 People's Choice Awards show on CBS? I did. If I hadn't been getting paid to do so, I would have thrown my TV into the street after the first 5 minutes.

I thought I had seen some bad award shows before. I was wrong. This year's PCAs elevated bad to a whole new plane of existence.

Granted, I've never understood the appeal of Queen Latifah. But, man, was she ever a bad choice to host that thing!

The only appealing thing about the whole debacle was the irony of it all. CBS insisted on going through with the telecast in it's new form so that they could stick it to the striking writers. But, nearly every pre-taped acceptance speech voiced support for the strikers!

Somewhere there must be some NBC execs up late tonight rethinking their decision to go ahead with their Golden Globes telecast this weekend. At least, I hope they're rethinking it.
