Wow, that "How I Met Your Mother" show is nominated?
That's a pretty god-awful show.
What do the critics see in "30 Rock" that so many viewers just can't or don't get? IMO the so called humor is very immature (preteen style). I've always loved Alec Baldwin's work but even he can't keep me tuned to this show.
Thank you.
