Why Bones never gets nominations

I guess that's true, but it gets depressing the way that Fox puts so much promotion under House (which apparently has been voted the number one most watched show in the world, by the way), and so Hugh Laurie gets nominated every year, as does the show. Not that anything is wrong with that particular show, but it's proof that it's not that Fox has a problem promoting existing shows and supporting them, but with Bones in general. It doesn't fit in one specific category, so it's hard to say sometimes.

That being said, there are guest stars or particular episodes (Con Man, for example), that deserve to be recognized, regardless. On the whole, I prefer Bones over other procedural crime shows simply because it is a little more lighthearted. You get a glimpse into their personal lives together, and they're kind of like your friends or...something like that. Friends that deserve to at the least be nominated.

I know - I was a Gilmore Girls fan and the performances on show were wonderful, just like Bones. It was GG that taught me not to pay attention to the Emmys, really. Like the Oscars and the Grammys, they just pick their favorite and regurgitate the same names year after year and mostly ignore true talent. Bones deserves to be recognized, but I guess their fan following will have to speak for the truth of who is deserving of recognition.

Hm. That's interesting. House is a show that I always enjoy, almost always anyway. But at the same time it's not a show that I make plans to watch; just something that I stop on when I'm thumbing through the channels.

... Something that I hardly do anymore, now that I can read fanfic on my Kindle!!!!
