Yeah, you don’t need to say it. Probably the best dramas, next to “24″ on television today are two scifi programs, “Battlestar Galactica” and “The 4400.” Funny - I don’t see them listed anywhere in the major dramatic categories. BSG - superior enough for a Peabody Award, but not quite there yet for a Best Drama Emmy…..please! Will Hollywood ever take SF seriously?

Netflix, Inc.

    What about “Lost”!? That show got shut out and it’s in the mainstream. The Emmy’s were messed up this year IMO.

    I couldn’t agree more Bill. :(

    They changed the way the votes are cast to some kind of panel rather than members.

    Sorry daib, but I don’t know the answer except to say that when the show ran on SCI FI you got to see those parts you said were missing on the DVD. It usually is the other way around…the DVD has those things omitted from a televised viewing, but in this case, I guess it was just the opposite.
    Sorry dude. :(
