Best show on TV gets no Emmy nom

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Rescue Me with Denis Leary - nada

Only mindless shows geared toward third grade level mentality - like (sorry) 30 Rock - win.

Who picks shows for Emmys anyway. geez

[bigwillq]

1. 30 Rock is awesome!

It's fantastic! :bounce:

[coffeenap]

2. Nope--lead actresses from Weeds and United States of Tara!

Go them! Both good actors, both great shows!

[MadBadger]

3. Yes, Rescue Me got snubbed, but the best show on TV was nominated

That would be L O S T. The second best show got screwed though.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. 30 Rock is far smarter than most shows, particularly sitcoms.

[Dinger]

5. Prison Break (nt)

[Mojambo]

6. I cannot STAND Denis Leary

As a result I tend to think Rescue Me is a tad overrated.

Or according to the Emmy people, rated right where it should be.

[NightWatcher]

10. Leary completely ripped off his schtick from Bill Hicks

and is a suck ass

[Mojambo]

11. This is true.

Not well respected by fellow comedians at all.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. why. I love him. He's brilliant. And incredibly sexy bad guy good guy

all rolled into one with the witty funny thrown in as a bonus. Plus, he stands up for firemen all the time.

[charlie and algernon]

7. Top Chef got a couple noms

coupled with Lost's two noms, I'm happy.

Seeing the Family Guy nom is an extra bonus, lol.

8. Michael J Fox got nominated for best guest appearance

and, man, if anyone deserves it, he does for that role which was so f'n good!

[suninvited]

13. guest appearance on what?

I am a huge MJF fan, did I miss something?

[graywarrior]

16. Rescue Me

He was on several episodes.

[suninvited]

19. well, I don't even know what that show is !

but read my other post about missing body parts. Aliens stole my brain.

I have never seen rescue me. When and where does it come on?

[graywarrior]

20. See the thread where I posted YouTube episodes with MJF

[suninvited]

21. well, because I live in this wonderful

RURAL piece of shit town, I can only get hughesnet, which means I can only watch videos or anything with significant bandwidth usage between the hours of 2 am and 7 am. Only problem is...I AM SLEEPING BETWEEN THOSE HOURS LIKE A FUCKING NORMAL ASS PERSON!!!!!!

Not yelling at you, graywarrior, yelling at the idiots who set up the hughesnet usage plan.

18. Here for Michael J Fox

9. 30 Rock....

3rd grade mentality? I don't think so.

Tina Fey is brilliant.

[dysfunctional press]

12. true blood was shut out?

[Zomby Woof]

14. Ignore awards

If you like a show, it does not need validation from an awards committee. Same goes for the Oscars, the Grammys (especially the Grammys), and others of that ilk.

Consider it a badge of honor it was overlooked. Those awards by and large award mediocrity and mass taste. Not always, mind you, but enough that it shouldn't be a cause for consternation if said show, movie, or album/song is overlooked by the Bow-Tied People Who Hand Out Gold-Laminated Trophies of Strange Beings.

[Danger Mouse]

15. Emmys, Oscars, Grammys...they're all complete BS.

[Zomby Woof]

17. LOL

You said in one sentence what I took a small paragraph to say. :D

[WildEyedLiberal]

23. You're right, Battlestar Galactica was screwed

No acting noms, no MUSIC noms (really? how did it NOT have the best score on television?).

A few technical and one directing nom, that's it.

Such a load of bullshit.
