There a few glaring omissions in this thread:
Desperate Housewives & Samantha Who in comedy & Brothers & Sisters in drama.
Family Guy is amusing but it is definately not one of the top ten comedies on TV. I am completely shocked it beat Desperate Housewives in a popular vote. The academy must either really love FG or really hate DH. Samantha Who i can kind of understand since it is new and pretty much an Appelgate showcase. Ugly Betty & Weeds both had weak seasons though so I would have definately had DH & SW on my list. I have never seen Flight of the Condor and didn’t hear much about it so that is kind of a suprise. Glad to see all of the other shows on there ESPECIALLY Pushing Daisies.
The Tudors has no business being on the best drama list. The show is SO boring. Season 1 was ok but Season 2 of this show was pretty awful save a couple of perfomances here and there. i would have had Brothers & Sisters easily ahead of them. Other than that the drama list is pretty solid. I hope lost can get nominated again after being snubbed the last two years in this categorey after winning in its first year.
