I can't get into Good Wife, but I appreciate that both critics, and some people I know who I respect love it so I assume it's above average (plus the Emmys are trying to recognize and celebrate network tv more now I think, or desperate to at least put SOME of it on the list).

Hrmm. Glad to see True Blood on there, though it doesn't stand a chance of winning--still it's nice to see the Emmys start to aknowledge genre stuff.

You know, I *love* Mad Men, but I'm getting kinda tired of seeing it at the Emmys. It's nice to see January Jones nominated though, even though she won't win. Especially after her utter, complete suckage on SNL people seem to knock her acting--I doubt she's very versatile, but as Betty, especially this year, she gave a really outstanding, subtle performance. The Mad Men Emmy I do hope to see though, and think stands a chance is EITHER Moss or Hendricks in best supporting actress--both have been great over the years but really came into their own last year.

I know they've discussed this to death, but they really have to find some solution for what's a comedy and what's a drama, and hour and thirty minute shows (and no I don't have one). I'd definitely give Toni Colette her Emmy again, but it really doesn't seem fair (and really the average episode of Tara has as large a balance of comedy and drama as, well even True Blood).

Oh I guess I might give the Emmy for writing to Weiner again for Shut the Door, Have a Seat which was maybe the best Mad Men episode ever, even if I'd hate to hear his speech. (If the Lost finale wins.... ARRRRGH)

I actually have a lot of affection for Lea and Matthew from Glee, mainly cuz I loved their stage work so much, but I'm not sure either was really any good in Glee (it's hard to know though as their material is so cartoonish yet they're directed to do it as drama)--I mean cut the song and dance moments and they wouldn't have been nnominated...

I personally think Yvette Nicole Brown could have snagged an Emmy Nom for her role as "Shirley" on COMMUNITY...I think she is terrific!

Glad Julianna Margulies and Christine Baranski got nods...I LOVE THEM, and I love the show, so I'm pretty good with this list.

Lame awards. Spartacus: Blood And Sand was the best new show of the year, starting out as a mere beefcake show and turning into riveting drama. Lucy Lawless and John Hannah (he especially) deserved a nomination for Best Supporting Actress and Actor. Viva Bianca was great as the villain of the show. It also became a watercooler show and was I believe the only new show that actually doubled it's audience by the time for season ended. A prequel series showcasing Lawless and Hannah is in the works as well as a second season.

As much as I would love for 30 Rock to win, it's not. Glee and Modern Family have all the buzz and momentum, especially Glee - they won the Golden Globes and the SAGs. And rarely anyone is picking 30 Rock to win.

I think Glee will win.

Because Sheldon is very annoying. :) I have Jim 4th, after Alec, Steve Carrell, Matthew Morrison for my rooting interest.

Well, Jon Cryer did win last year. LOL And it could happen again if the Modern Family actors split the vote.

I can see how people find Sheldon annoying, he's a "you either love him or hate him" type of character.

But yeah, Y&Rworldturner, I prefer traditional sitcoms like Big Bang too. CBS moving Big Bang to Thursdays was such a vote of confidence for the traditional sitcom, as would Jim Parsons winning would be.

Also, Jim doesn't do anything "special" - he mostly talks very fast/makes weird faces and that's it. The only "great scene" he had last year was the balloon/helium scene. Other than that, he was the same as usual.

    • Above, I said "Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her." Now adding onto that thought, I would clarify that sometimes I think Vanessa fools around for fun in a positive way.    But other times I sense that she's actually unconsciously trying to demean herself as way of numbing some inner pain -- it's hard to explain what I mean.  Sort of like... sometimes people drink for fun. But other times, people drink  in a self-destructive way, in order to drown out some inner pain. So I think she needs therapy about all of that.
    • A lot of these episodes are available on YT. The rape storyline starts around February or March of 1979 and Roger's demise is sometime in March 1980. The stuff from before 1979 is close to non exisitent, unfortunately.
    • Maeve Kinkead was on from 1980-1988 (left in January); 1989-2000 (went recurring 1996-97); 2002 -For Josh /Reva's Wedding; 2005 (appearances in May and December) back regularly from Feb 2006-end Maureen Garrett was on from 1976-80; 1988-2006 (recurring from 2003 on); 2009 Michael Zaslow was on/off from 1971-1980 with breaks in between but usually made an appearance every year then again 1989-1997. There is a youtube commercial  Guiding Light in 1968

    • Holly's final big story was the Sebastian mess in late 2004.   Vanessa and Matt were promoted to regulars near the end and were heavily recurring prior to that starting around 2007/2008.
    • Keith has a softer presence, but it would have helped to see him be more aggressive or proactive in protecting them instead of standing around like a mannequin. A man the audience should be hoping and wishing gets back together with his wife. Nicole needs a new husband!
    • She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

    • Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.
    • Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!
