Somehow I think they can struggle past the Emmy snub in their 9th season. Prizes are great but I'm guessing the new contracts the "NCIS" non-Mark Harmon actors signed reflect the healthy ratings and not their woeful lack of Emmy awards. They can comfort themselves with the residual checks from the near constant reruns showing up on USA cable. And how long are the networks supposed to wait for the audiences to find them? "Community" managed to have low ratings and just one Emmy nomination, matching "NCIS: Los Angeles," "Hawaii Five-0" and "Shark Tank" in Emmy nominations but well behind in ratings. > Second, the variety series category needs to be divided into two > categories: shows that air four or five days a week and shows that air > once a week or less.
