We've taken to avoiding shows like the Emmys, playing catch-up later by reading recaps like Alan Sepinwall's, who was as happy as we were to see "Friday Night Lights" honored in two categories, Best Actor, Drama (go, Coach Taylor Kyle Chandler) and Outstanding Writing for a Drama (yay, "FNL' creator Jason Katims!)

The broadcast also included a stunning moment in time/TV travel that should particularly amuse those tracking the rise of newfangled vs. trad media. Crashing the set of "Mad Men" during her opening number, host Jane Lynch tells the cast what's in TV's future: watching shows on the phone. John Slattery (as Roger Sterling)'s befuddled look as he picks up the receiver of a 1960s-era phone and holds it up to his eyes is priceless.

The ad crowd should also appreciate Jon Hamm/Don Draper's reaction to Jane telling the group that someday folks will be able to fast-forward through commercials. "You're going to turn around and walk out of here, and we're going to pretend like we never met you," he growls.

Check it out here, about three-quarters of the way through a too-long musical number.
