About bloody time.
Who cares about the critics, theirs also tones of other great series that those eggheads fail to notice. As for Emmy’s who gives a toss? they have little to do with talent, lets all hold our breath and wait for Desperate Housewives or Greys Anatomy to win a Peabody!
The Emmy awards have been irrellevant since the early 90s it’s sad to say,
I don’t get it either, how can a show be “Program Of The Year” and not manage to get an Emmy nominations?
But there are so many shows that the critics and fans love but just don’t get a look in when award shows roll around, this is why I don’t put much stock in the Emmys or most other awards shows any more.
About freakin time, the emmy’s were a joke.
Too bad it was in Battlestar’s worse season.
