The Emmys Succeeded Thanks to Delightful Nostalgia, Emotional Speeches and More: TV Review


Despite the controversy around host Anthony Anderson, the 75th Primetime Emmys was a true celebration of classic TV and current favs.

Anderson opened the Emmys with a clever spoof of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and honored several shows and their iconic theme songs — practically a lost art in television today. The “Black-ish” and “Law & Order” alum hit the nail on the head in a pleasingly brief and to the point seven-minute opener that included singing, references to the late Norman Lear and a quick drum set by Travis Barker. More than just the “Chocolate Emmys,” as Anderson said in jest, the program not only honored a plethora of non-white producers, writers, directors and performers, but the Governers Award went to GLAAD, the non-profit organization focusing on ensuring fair and accurate representation of the LGBTQ community in the media.
