At first, I was put off by Louis-Dreyfus' inclusion - for what, "Watching Ellie"? Sure, she's won 4 Emmys, but John Larroquette's won five, and no one's put him in the hall. But I see from Wikipedia that she's surpassed Lucille Ball's record for most nominations for a comedic actress. And there are no other women being inducted this year. So I'll let her slide. -Tim
