I recently got into Modern Family, was shocked at how well it does in the ratings over there tbh.

especially because it's terrible

Watched an episode of it about a year ago, didn't find it funny really but the young girl that looks like Mila Kunis is really fit so it's all good.

Boardwalk Empire


I hope this wins

That has the least chance of winning out of the six

Dexter will win :hmph:

Season 2 has been much better than the first, but it's probably the second least deserving show nommed for best series

Homeland'll probably have a pretty clean sweep since it's the hot new thing.

Hope Claire Danes gets hers. Homeland should do well like Shaun said.

Our shows are doing well

This sudden obsession with Downton Abbey baffles me. Is period dramas a novelty in America? Because it really is nothing special.

Even if it has a few good actors in it, 16 nominations is a joke. As is Modern Family taking 4 of 6 spots in one category.

As soon as they have favourites they stick to them no matter what.

I like The Big Bang Theory but if Jim Parsons wins that Emmy yet again then the rules need changing.
