Like always the critics have left off another David Simon's show (Treme (HBO)) once again. Treme should have been nominated for "Outstanding New Program" or "Outstanding Achievement in Drama". The Wire should have been nominated for the Heritage Award.

Maybe one day David Simon will get his just due.

I believe the TCA gave The Wire the Heritage Award last year.

Amen 2 that kimmie. Kateys character Gemma is intriguing and lovably kickass! Sons is the most riveting show on rightnow, and I
applaud Mr Sutter for not going "hollywood" and making a mockery of the brotherhood. SAMCRO FOREVER!

It's nice to see Katey Sagal and "Sons of Anarchy" get some much deserved recognition.

The Heritage Award list is a doozy! MASH and 24 are my two favorite series ever (I also think they're the two greatest series, period). However, knowing the critics, they'll go for either Lost or Law and Order. Yes, they're influential, but not THAT influential.

Is the Mad Men looove starting to fade? I certainly hope so. Mad Men's mediocrity boggles my mind. I'm not the biggest fan of either Lost or Breaking Bad, but I can at least appreciate the quality of the acting, writing, and production.

NCIS should be on the list. It is the top rated show on TV and just keeps getting better.
