Are They Worthy?

Despite the proliferation of "reality shows" this season, television really has had quite a number of quality programs and performances to choose from for the 2006-2007 Emmy nominations.

Let's start things off with my picks for Outstanding Drama Series:

Friday Night Lights (NBC)
Grey's Anatomy (ABC)
Heroes (NBC)
House (FOX)
Lost (ABC)

Possible Alternates: The Sopranos (HBO) and 24 (FOX)

Friday Night Lights is the critics' darling. Grey's Anatomy had plenty of drama on and off screen to keep it in contention. Heroes is one of the breakout shows of the year. House consistently maintains a level of excellence and has great ratings (thanks in part to American Idol as its lead-in). Lost is the comeback story of the year. After a long hiatus, the show returned with jaw-dropping episodes up to, and including, the finale. However, The Sopranos, in its final season, could make a run at the prize, despite mixed reviews from fans and critics. And don't count out last year's winner, 24 . Remember, when it comes to the Emmys, expect the unexpected.
