Its Raining Emmy's
Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming One Hour Or More)
Blue Harvest (Family Guy)
Imaginationland (South Park) •
Justice League: The New Frontier •
This one’s a bit odd we have a direct to DVD release with two regular TV episodes. I haven’t seen Family Guy, I’ve seen the others. Despite being a Superhero nerd I think South Park’s Imainationland should win. It was crazy fun.
Outstanding Comedy Series

Curb Your Enthusiasm •
Entourage •
The Office •

Got to go with 30 Rock, which made me laugh more then the Office. I haven’t seen the others.

Outstanding Drama Series
Boston Legal •
Damages •
Dexter •
House • FOX •
Lost • ABC •
Mad Men • AMC •
Once again the Wire is not nominated and once again the Emmy people look stupid. However, Dexter is a well written show and that’s who I would give it to.

Chuck • Chuck Versus The Undercover Lover •
Criminal Minds • Tabula Rasa •
CSI: NY • Playing With Matches •

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles •
Chuck, I’ve had trouble believing the hits in Sarah Connor, but that has more to do with the fact that they have a 90 pound actress throwing herself around like she weighed 400 pounds.
