He's right about these.....except for Community....haven't seen it....

The Boo Section:

No “True Blood“? A bloody shame.
No “Walking Dead“? Surprising, since some Emmy voters do seem like zombies.
No “Community“? Fail.
No “Fringe“? Maybe they’ll get the recognition they deserve in the other universe.
No “Sons of Anarchy“? Talk about rebellion. Especially passing over Katey Sagal again. At least they weren’t expecting it: “If we get any Emmy noms I’ll tattoo EMMYS RULE on my a**,” outspoken series creator Kurt Sutter tweeted yesterday.
