Friday Night Lights, one of the best shows on television, and it does not get to the recognition it deserves. Well some critics see it but Connie Britton should have had an few Emmy nods by now, she is brilliant!
I am so glad my top 5 favorite shows – The Office, FNL, Lost, The Colbert Report and 30 Rock – were all recognized. I’m also so happy that Connie Britton got a nod, but I wonder why none of the Lost actors (esp. Matthew Fox) was included? Overall, though, the TCA usually gets these noms right!
Maybe I’m wrong, but wouldn’t it be obvious that the winner for best drama will be one of the ones that are also nominated for best overall show.
Also, I either need to get expensive cable or find a friend to borrow DVDs from, cuz I have yet to see The Wire, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Flight of the Conchords, or Jon Adams.
