Best Drama
Big Love
Breaking Bad
Damages
Dexter
House
Lost
Mad Men
I know Mad Men is the mega buzz show right now, I know Lost fans think that it is THE GREATEST SHOW EVER ( they’re wrong). House and Dexter both buckled under their previous genius this past season, Big Love is pretty bland for something that’s supposed to be so controversial [...]

Below are the nominees for the major categories of the Emmys nominations released earlier today. I will post my thoughts and picks in the near future, but needless to say, the Emmy voters got more right than usual, but why do people who hate television so much get to select what is the best of [...]

First, the good news.
Best Comedy Series
The Big Bang Theory (CBS)
Years of Devotion to How I Met Your Mother and Scrubs has been painful at times, as both of these hilarious but criminally under watched shows suffered from time slot shifts and near cancellation more than once. But HIMYM’s fifth season was all but assured this [...]

After years of being crushed by no noms for The Gilmore Girls and Buffy, the Emmy decided to boost my spirits ( and Jim Parsons and The Big Bang Theory’ s chances) by expanding major categories like acting and best series to six nominee slots instead of five. This rule has been broken so many [...]

As 2008 draws to a close, I am again dealing with a cacophony of voices proclaiming that the sitcom is dead. Now, television is a cyclical business, and this news comes every time a long running show leaves the television landscape and no one steps up the following year with some zeitgeist consuming hit.

The recent cancellation of ABC’s great remake of BBC’s ” Life On Mars” annoyed me a great deal.
