Who deserves Emmys?

Tomorrow morning the Emmy nominations are announced and while we will discuss them at great length in the show, I thought I would take a minute and give my list of perfect nominees in a few of the categories.
Outstanding Drama:
  • "Battlestar Galactica"
  • "24"
  • "ER"
  • "Burn Notice"
  • "The Shield"
Outstanding Comedy:
  • "Chuck"
  • "How I Met Your Mother"
  • "The Office"
  • "psych"
  • "Eureka"

Lead Actress in a Drama:

  • Mary McDonnell-"Battlestar Galactica"
  • Mary McCormack-"In Plain Sight"
  • Kyra Sedgwick-"The Closer"
  • Cherry Jones-"24"
  • Connie Britton-"Friday Night Lights"

Lead Actor in a Comedy:

  • Alec Baldwin-"30 Rock"
  • Colin Ferguson-"Eureka"
  • Tony Shaloub-"Monk"
  • James Roday-"psych"
  • Zachary Levi-"Chuck"

As you can see my choices heavily favor cable shows, reason being cable is producing television that is so much better than the networks. Unfortunately, these nominations are a pipe dream because the Emmys tend to nominate the same people year after year.

If the academy really honored the best shows on TV, they wouldn't keep nominating "Two and a Half Men."

Once again enjoy our full coverage of the Emmy nominations on the next episode of "Viewpoints On..."
