I didn't watch the Emmy's, don't have cable, so perhaps my opinions are misinformed. And the shows don't reward merit; King of Queens is wowwing me (and hopefully other critics) and yet it didn't seem to make the awards. Ibid with Buffy, 70s show, etc.

But I thought the final episode of Frasier was masterfully done (and wrote about it here).

I always wonder why nobody seems to give a hoot about the writers for these shows. Aren't they...kind of important?

The People who nominate shows need to be beaten severly until they nominate "The Wire". The best show on tv.
