That’s your prerogative, I know, but wouldn’t it be more progressive — more forward-looking — to reward a network that’s in the ascendant phase of its development than one whose programming has been on the decline for at least the last year? I’m just saying.

I guess eight nominations are nothing to sneeze at. Harumph.
