“30 Rock” & “Mad Men” lead Emmy nominations
Two of the five best shows on television (in my prestigious opinion) have snagged an incredibly high number of Emmy nominations. NBC’S 30 Rock and AMC’s Mad Men garnered 17 and 16 nominations, respectively. 30 Rock was no surprise – it’s one of only a handful of sitcoms left on the air – and one of less than a dozen that aren’t of the ABC/Disney Channel “family friendly” bland variety. ...
