The Television Critics Association gave out its 25th annual awards last night in Pasadena. As with any awards, there were some winners I voted for and some I didn’t, but it was good to see some great shows overlooked by the Emmys get recognition, in particular Program of the Year Battlestar Galactica, and to see Betty White honored for her decades in TV comedy.
The highlight of my evening was getting to present the award to Outstanding Children’s Program—and personal favorite of mine—Yo Gabba Gabba! By giving an award to DJ Lance Rock, I may finally have done something in my work that my kids can appreciate.
