I'm with Katherine Heigl snubbing tonight's primetime Emmys.
(Did you know she sells her own line of medical scrubs? It makes me "Izzie.")
Not because the writers slacked off, but the awards' nominating body dissed HBO's "The Wire" for the fifth time. Get this. Only 2 nominations for its entire run! I know that its language/dialogue/street poetry poses the main barrier to appreciating it. So turn on the subtitles/close captioning! And prepare to get lost in its octopus-like storytelling tentacles.

Despite that, I'm rooting for Tina Fey, "30 Rock," and the resuscitated "Lost."

Long after these popular shows have disappeared, The Wire will live on in both critical and personal memory.
I know this is scant justice for recognition in the present but it's the best that you can hope for.
Just think of all the movies that were conventional failures but became critical blockbusters -- Citizen Kane or Playtime are probably the classic examples.
