That's a completely different show

Sorry, but not everyone has to live in Hollywood to like the show. I've been a fan since season one.

I don't find 30 Rock to be that funny, honestly. The only character I like on that show is played by Jack McBrayer. Only Sunny is wayyy better, IMO. And as far as Heath Ledger goes, he probably deserved the award, but he was a contender against a bunch of scrubs. His role wasn't anything special. I still don't understand the obsession with Dark Knight, I don't even think it was a top 10 movie in 2008.

That's cool.

But I can totally understand the other poster's point.

And trust me. I know people here that hate the show. Sometimes, it's just too much.

It's a behind-the-scenes-of-showbiz meta-comedy... I think the comparison is apt. The difference is, 30 Rock manages to be funny.

Look, you're probably right. If the category was "Best Comedy That's Only A Comedy To People Who Know Mark Wahlberg, Or Know Somebody Who Knows Mark Wahlberg", then Entourage would win running away. But it's supposed to be just a comedy, and even the most niche of shows can be, if written well, actually funny. Entourage is just Hollywood masturbation; it's an award show dressed up as a fictional television program.

Unfortunately, it insists on labeling itself as a comedy.

Entourage has a lot of humor. I guess you have to be able to relate to it. You must be an older gentleman.

For some reason, I've never motivated myself to check that show out, even though people who like good shows like Arrested Development, The Office and 30 Rock seem to like it. At some point I probably should, before too many seasons pile up.

I'm not an older gentleman. I'm somebody who appreciates well-written comedy. Entourage doesn't qualify.

I like "30 Rock" not because it involves the entertainment business, but because I think Tina Fey's genius. She makes the absurd seem normal.

Entourage isn't for everyone. I've never really thought of it as a comedy (much like "Californication"), so I guess you have a point.

That being said, I think that 'Entourage" is one the best shows on television.

Are you one of those guys? Who when in a group of about 6 or 7 people who are all watching TV and can't decide what's on, decide to flip through the channels. Scrubs shows up and you're the one who says "YEAH! YEAH! SCRUBS! LET'S WATCH SCRUBS!" And for everybody else, Scrubs is like their 23rd favorite show, so they say, "ummm... surrreee, I guess I don't have a problem with Scrubs" but deep down they're writhing inside because there's bound to be something better on than Scrubs. But then there they are, stuck watching Scrubs. All because of you.

Exactly..Scrubs is probably my favorite show, of course, that's after Dr.Quinn the Medicine Woman..hard to decide between the two. But if Scrubs is on, I definitely hold a gun to everybody's head so they HAVE to watch it..

Entourage is hilarious... 30Rock is hilarious...

SportsRacer lost his burst...

Can someone please tell me how It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia wasn't even nominated for best comedy? It has more humor in one episode than all of the other shows combined. Can an FX show not be nominated or something?

This is the point. No one thought Ledger could do it now no one thinks anyone else could do it. I know there hasn't been a lot of time since Heath's performance but the character of the Joker is too big to die with one actor. All due respect, I mean Heath Ledger was amazing, but a lot of it was the writing and there are a lot of good actors out there. If there is a great Batman story involving the Joker they should make it.

That being said I doubt they will because of overwhelming public opinion. That doesn't mean I can't dream.
