CUE PARADE OF DUCKS, NARRATION BY TY BURRELL: The University of Georgia today announced that
the 73rd annual Peabody Awards for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence (in Media) will be awarded to, among others, TCM's
The Story of Film docu-series, Key & Peele, Borgen, Broadchurch, Breaking Bad, Orphan Black, Scandal, House of Cards (
this season? really?), ESPN/Frontline's coverage of the NFL chronic brain trauma crisis, and PBS's Great Performances: Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy.
Odd that they missed one of the better seasons of TV being produced just 80 miles down the road.
ReplyDeleteIs that "Breaking Bad" series really any good?
ReplyDeleteScandal?! I've seen every episode and have been actively hate watching since the beginning of this season. It's got about as much character and plot development as an old episode of "All My Children." Now, I loved AMC back in the day, but it was never worthy of a Peabody.
ReplyDeleteBroadchurch is a good choice for people in True Detective withdrawal. Also the Harper High TAL was excellent. Speaking of excellence, they don't actually use the words outstanding, achievement, excellence and award in the same title, do they?
ReplyDeleteNo, that's a Simpsons joke. http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/The_Field_of_Excellence
ReplyDeleteWell that's a relief
ReplyDeleteAlso the two University of Oregon students who created this 25-second Youtube video about rape culture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZxv5WCWivM
ReplyDeleteY'all ever want to come visit me in Athens, I'll take you over to the Peabody Archives. :)
ReplyDeleteIs there a Sherman adjunct?
ReplyDeleteSherman's quite popular in Georgia, I'm sure.
