The Best Frozen Moments From This Year’s Emmys Gallery in NY Magazine: When Jason Katims wins for Outstanding Writing for Friday Night Lights, Connie Britton cheers effusively (like Tami from the stands!) while Kyle Chandler quietly smiles, just as Coach Taylor would do when his boys brought another title home. Thank you for letting us pretend that Coach and Mrs. Coach are still out there in the world, occasionally getting dressed up in formalwear but usually just bickering over the barbecue at home.
Marketing Campaign of the Day: Boardwalk Empire returns to the airwaves on September 25th, and they’re ringing in season 2 with an ad buy:
Starting on Saturday, September 3rd an authentic vintage 1920’s train will run on the express 2/3 track in Manhattan throughout September (specifically, from 12 to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays). Originally operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit (IRT) system, the train began service back in 1917 and will once again be operational. Customers who have the opportunity to ride the vintage train will be transported back in time to the Prohibition era with authentic details such as rattan seats, ceiling fans and drop sash windows, as well as a custom branded interior featuring Boardwalk Empire-inspired period artwork.
