For the first time ever, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has published a list of top ten vote-getters for Emmy categories Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Drama Series. Strangely missing –to us fans- are all three series in the popular CSI franchise. Hard to believe, ain’t it?

Here are the ten that made the list:

• Boston Legal (ABC)
• Damages (FX)
• Dexter (Showtime)
• Friday Night Lights (NBC)
• Grey’s Anatomy (ABC)
• House (FOX)
• Lost (ABC)
• Mad Men (AMC)
• The Tudors (Showtime)
• The Wire (HBO)

Do you think the CSI series should have made the list? Was it just that tough?
