61st Primetime Emmy Awards

What with the Emmy Awards rapidly approaching, I thought I'd take this opportunity to offer my predictions for the major categories. Each day, I'll post about a new category.

Outstanding Comedy Series

30 Rock • NBC • Broadway Video, Little Stranger, Inc. in association with Universal Media Studios

Entourage • HBO • Leverage and Closest to the Hole Productions in association with HBO Entertainment

Family Guy • FOX • Fox Television Animation

Flight Of The Conchords • HBO • Dakota Pictures and Comedy Arts in association with HBO Entertainment

How I Met Your Mother • CBS • Bays & Thomas Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television

The Office • NBC • Deedle-Dee Productions and Reveille LLC in association with Universal Media Studios

Weeds • Showtime • Showtime Presents in association with Lionsgate Television and Tilted Productions, Inc.

This year, the Best Comedy award absolutely deserves to go to 30 Rock. This season was tighter, crisper, and smarter than the previous two. Tina Fey learned from her (few) mistakes and made the show the cool/best show to watch on television. With an outstanding supporting cast (Tracy Morgan basically playing himself, Jack McBrayer as the lovable and naive Kenneth the Page), the show has brought the funny back to NBC (although The Office certainly holds its own in the time slot before Rock).
The fact that Entourage was nominated at all is SUCH a joke; that show hasn't been funny in years. It's basically a bunch of douches rejoicing their own douchebaggery. Family Guy had a good year, but it wasn't good enough to trump the likes of Flight of the Conchords, How I Met Your Mother, and The Office. And as for Weeds? Meh. Just, meh.
