It’s time for another Primetime Emmy recap, so Aunt Beth and Jeff got into The Pitt of The Studio, and that kind of felt like Adolescence.

(This episode was recorded on September 17, 2025.)

Do you have your eye on the Emmys in 2025? I certainly do, and not just because they’re airing on the Eye Network this year. Nate Bargatze will be hosting for CBS (and Paramount+) on the evening of Sunday, September 14, as those trophies for televisual excellence are handed out. Here are my annual predictions of the victors, as well as my selections for whom I would honor if I had access to an official ballot.

Happy June, Fellow TV Lovers. It’s Emmy Wish List Season! The ballots are ready to be perused by Academy of Television Arts & Science members (as well as members of the public), as we eagerly await the announcement of nominations on July 15.

I’ve assembled a few of my favorites from the 2024-25 season that I would love to see honored on TV’s biggest night. And as with my Wishlist from last year, I’ll be focusing on the less-heralded shows and performances that could really use the support. They may not be getting a ton of buzz, but I love them just as much as they deserve to be loved.

Will the Emmys look like this this year? (CREDIT: FX/Screenshot)

Good afternoon.

Good evening, and good morning.

It’s time for that annual tradition that all of us who are perpetually glued to the Boob Tube know and love: making an Emmy Wish List!!!!!

In years past, I’ve listed multiple favorites in all the major categories, but lately, I’ve preferred a more pared-down approach. So with this year’s edition, I’ve focused on spotlighting some selections that aren’t already getting the Emmy love. Maybe on July 17, I’ll be surprised to discover that my top picks actually are nominated. But no matter what happens, I’ll love them just the same.

Animation: There was some speculation among Emmy prognosticators that X-Men ’97 might end up in the Drama category, although ultimately it was submitted in the Animation field. But that push highlights the tricky spot that animated shows perpetually find themselves in. I’d love to see triumphs like Beavis and Butt-Head or Scott Pilgrim Takes Off submitted as Comedies, but it’s also nice to appreciate them as the toons that they are. Maybe the Animation category could be presented on the main telecast instead of the Creative Arts Emmys?
