Friday Night Lights as a Best Drama nominee over 24 (Season 6 withstanding) or The Shield? Did I just miss the boat on that show?

The Sopranos is overrated (as is 30 Rock). And It's Always Sunny needs to be on the comedy list.

But, I'll give them credit for putting Mary McDonnell on the actress list, which is more than I can say for the ****ing Emmys.

I love Chiklis. Good to see he made the list. Shield shoulda been on the Drama list though.

I think The Wire should have gotten the nod over The Sopranos

Whispering through emotional moments is not great acting.

And The West Wing is the best show ever. Oz is the second best.
