Globes leave ‘Lights’ in dark
The best drama on television, “Friday Night Lights,” was snubbed by the foreign critics for Golden Globe nominations, announced earlier today.
’Grey’s Anatomy’’ will be hard to beat for best TV drama, although ’’Heroes’’ could make a strong showing, since serials “24” and “Lost” have run out of steam.
’’Ugly Betty” is my hands-down favorite for TV comedy, since “Desperate Housewives” and “The Office” turned inconsistent.
Here are this year’s TV nominations.

24 has run out of steam? What a ridiculous statement. 24 had its best season in spring 06. In truth Battlestar Galactica is the best drama on tv. Grey's Anatomy is probably the worst. Isn't every episode all the doctors sleeping with each other? That's what makes an award winning tv show? Diane can't get back soon enough.
