Hi guys! Yep, it's around that time again for the ATRL TV Awards! This year, to go along with the Emmys rule change, we're going to try a little something different. Each of you will post your top ten favorite comedies and dramas, in no particular order. Some rules:
1) Eligibilty period: from June 1st - now
2) Only live action shows please
3) Please fill in as much as you can. If you don't want 20 shows in all, then do as much as you can. But your votes might not count as much? I don't know - we're still figuring this out.

You'll have until May 1st to do this. Then, I'll form two special groups and will pare down the top ten vote-getters until we have the final five nominees. Yay?

I'll go first

Comedy
Arrested Development
The Comeback
Entourage
Extras
Gilmore Girls
How I Met Your Mother
The Office
Out of Practice

Weeds

Drama

Yes, you can include shows that have ended/were cancelled as long as they were apart of this season. Have fun!

I forgot to mention. Here is where one can campaign for shows they think people might be forgotten. Say, I wanted to remind people of Commander-in-Chief, I would say

will most likely edit.

Only Live action is BS. And Top Ten is hard because I don't watch that much I guess. We may have to top five the comedies. Also, some of you have great taste.

Comedy
1. Arrested Development
2. Scrubs
3. How I Met Your Mother
4. The Office
5. My Name Is Earl
6. SNL

Drama
1. Veronica Mars
2. THe OC
3. Grey's Anatomy
4. Supernatural
5. 24

I concur with Roy, Family Guy is arguably the best show on TV and it can't be considered because it's not live-action? ********.

Comedy
1. Arrested Development
2. The Office
3. Scrubs
4. My Name Is Earl
5. Entourage
(Comedies suck as always this year. I can only nominate five.)

Drama:
1. 24
2. The Shield
3. House
4. Prison Break
5. The Sopranos
6. Veronica Mars(Just because it really deserves to be nominated)
7. Doctor Who(GOOD ONE, Mikal )
8. Rome
9. Six Feet Under

I'll add a tenth if Deadwood can be added.

Are we only doing shows? How about the actors/resses...?
