trophies ever won by a series, and of course "breaking bad," which dominated the night, the way walter white usedade. i miss you, walt. i'm happy that "breaking bad" went out with a big night. because "breaking bald" is, of course, one of the greatest television shows in the history of television. walt was this intellectual mcgooifr. i loved seeing him move into this drug lord. this was about a normal guy becoming an anti-hero. this was about a drug war, a modern family, and a morality play all wrapped in one. >> modern family. >> i love it as part of a broader trend. "breaking bad" dominated for good reason, but it's about a trend of people being terrible. we saw "house of cards," "madmen," "game of thrones," all of these shows is about fundm t fundmently bad people you used to have to go to the movies to see. even "colbert report." on the other hand, you have the last gasp of broadcast tv in the form of "modern family," a show about how everybody is so lovely and nice. at least all my friends have been complaining about how either "louis" or "veep" was robbed in that comedy category. >> i like
