Congrats to LOST and Henry Ian Cusack for making the Emmy short list for "The Constant".
Remembering the feeling that episode generated upon first viewing, I believe I said something about it being the best hour of TV I may have ever seen. That was a popular opinion and it appears the TV Muckities share some of that enthusiasm.
On a personal note, love seeing Dexter on the list as well. I have a "Lost-Like" affection for that show.

Flight of the Conchords!!!! What are the chances Bret and Jemaine walk off with that? Not real good it appears. I will still never understand the hold of "Two and a Half Men" as I never witnessed anything remotely worth laughing over in limited viewing.

Yes! The Office is on the list!
Even though I watch way too much TV, since I only have basic cable I've only seen a few of the nominees here.
But that Boston Legal where Alan Shore argues before (and occasionally with) the Supreme Court was absolutely the show at it's finest - certainly their best episode of the year, maybe of all time.
And hearing (an actor portraying) a Supreme Court Justice telling Alan Shore "I've had about enough or your liberal speech-making." had to have been tossed in for the neo-coons who gripe about the shows "librul bias".
Also glad to see the "Pushing Daisies" pilot get some lovin'.
