Hasta La Creative!

Despite all the fear and anxiety, Netflix didn’t steal Emmy night in the end as established series like AMC’s “Breaking Bad” and “Modern Family” on ABC took top awards.

With its first nomination, for “House of Cards,” Netflix makes its mark on the Emmys, but “Breaking Bad” has the most buzz.

The special will be based on the long-awaited biography by Bill Zehme, “Carson the Magnificent: An Intimate Portrait.”

Ms. Lacy, the creator and executive producer of “American Masters,” has signed a multiyear deal to produce documentaries for the pay cable channel.

Two shows left, bitches!

AMC's Breaking Bad airs its last episode on Sept. 29, and the network whipped up this print ad promoting the series finale to thank the cast and crew for their efforts over the five seasons of the landmark series. The copy reads, "It was all in the chemistry. Thanks to everyone who made Bad so good." The ad shows the RV where Walter White and Jesse Pinkman cooked meth in the early days. Remember the episode where they couldn't get the clunker started and ended up stranded way out in the desert and nearly died? Yeah, that was a barrel of fun. Appropriately, in this ad, the sun is low in the sky. Indeed, once the series ends, the TV spectrum will be just a bit dimmer.

As for fans who can't let Breaking Bad go, well, they'd better call Saul.

A strategy known as “symphony” — in which NBC liberally salts its broadcasts with promotions — seems to have had little effect in drawing viewers to “The Million Second Quiz.”

Actress and comedian Rebel Wilson is a quirky rule breaker, so why should she adhere to some old-school network-TV model for promoting a sitcom? She shouldn't, ya hear? Regular 30-second promo spots? Pshaw.

Wilson, who stars in, writes and co-executive produces ABC's upcoming series Super Fun Night, conceived the idea of a full-length music video to hype the show. The Aussie, who broke out to U.S. audiences in Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids, wanted to show her vocal chops and give a snapshot of the lovable nerdiness of the fall comedy, which isn't, in fact, a musical. It is, however, self-deprecating in the extreme, with Wilson coining the term "eye broccoli" to describe herself and her pals in the pilot.

The music vid, from Stun Creative, a Los Angeles marketing and promo shop that's now producing its own original content, uses Queen's anthemic "Don't Stop Me Now" to let Wilson and co-stars strut, sing, pose and perhaps stand out from the pack of new TV series debuting in the coming weeks.

Super Fun Night revolves around Wilson, a Manhattan office worker sporting an American accent, and her longstanding weekly date nights with her two geeky besties. Catch the awkward hilarity starting Oct. 2.

Ads will begin to run on Friday for “The Spoils of Babylon,” a six-part series about a wealthy oil family that will parody mini-series of the 1970s and ’80s.

The tepid ratings for Simon Cowell’s two-year-old show are yet more evidence that singing competitions are not the blockbusters they once were.

Fresh from his U.S. Open triumph, Rafael Nadal comes on like the candy man in ESPN's latest tongue-in-cheek SportsCenter spot from Wieden + Kennedy in New York. Network personalities John Anderson and Bram Weinstein just can't figure out why Rafa is such a chick magnet around the ESPN offices. Could it be his tan? His dimples? Keep your shirts on, gentlemen, because the answer comes at the end, when we learn that it's the sweet, sweet stuff in Nadal's big, shiny cup that keeps them coming back for more. Roger Federer's commercial performances, even when he's pimping Lindt chocolates, are never as tasty.
