Emmys - Some pleasant surprises in Emmy news. Six Feet Under garnered the most nominations, including one for every major member of the cast. Especially deserving, in my mind, was Lauren Ambrose as Claire Fisher. John and my favorite-for-different-reasons Frances Conroy was also nominated for her role as mother Ruth Fisher.

The West Wing was also recognized with nominations across the board. Every single regular cast member but Rob Lowe was nominated for their roles. Even the cloying Mary-Louise Parker, who wasn't even a full cast member this season, got a nod!

Buffy, once more, was passed over for nomination, even with the submission of the stellar musical episode "Once More, With Feeling." Just because a show is on UPN doesn't mean that it isn't great TV.

And the star of my favorite "What if Felicity became a spy?" show, Alias, Jennifer Garner, got a nod for best dramatic actress. John, you can still catch up on what you've missed. ABC Family Channel is rebroadcasting the episodes of this engaging and action-packed series this summer.
