I congratulate the TCA for having taste much like my own.
Breaking Bad coming for that Emmy….Can’t wait!!!
If only the Emmy’s got the memo! Game of Thrones is the most well executed program on television. And that’s saying a lot considering all the quality shows out these days.
Breaking Bad should win every TV award available. Best. Show. Ever.
The Wire was always snubbed for its “subject matter” on all major show categories. Award organizations and even many critics will not watch a “show about drugs”. Even though we know its much more than that, many of the 15,000 members of the Academy will not find it their “cup of tea”. Very understandable. Just a shame.
I enjoy all the shows mentioned. I have been watching Cheers reruns on Reelz recently and thst really was an amazing show. Superb acting and excellent writing.
It is amazing watching the Sam and Diane relationship again. It may be the best played romantic entanglement in the history of TV.
Games of Thrones is the best quality show on T.V. hands down. So under-rated by the Emmy awards snubs.
Game of Thrones’ 2nd Season was just OK compared to the first. Why are the critics pretending that ANYTHING compares to Breaking Bad? Oh, that’s right. Only one-third of them actually watch it!
Only one-third of them watch it and yet Bryan Cranston IS hosting the event. I don’t think Breaking Bad has anything to worry about. I’ll take Game of Thrones over Breaking Bad any day of the week though, nothing compares.
