Futurama Nominated for a People's Choice Award

I read the nominations for the People's Choice Awards, and the catergory that had some interest this year is the Favorite New Comedy Series catergory. In case you don't know the nominations, they are

"FUTURAMA" "LADIES MAN" "SHASTA McNASTY" "STARK RAVING MAD"

As you guess it, Futurama made the cut. To make things even more interesting, starting on December 6, www.cbs.com will allow Internet users to vote for their favorite new shows, which means we Futurama fans, along with the Simpsons fans, can help make the show win the catergory.

I had to break down laughing when I saw the competition. If Shasta McNasty wins, I'll bash my head in with a harmless sharpened stick.

McNasty

Ahh. Forget the award show... and the blackjack.

(But then it'll have to be on Fox instead of CBS)

Unfortunately, Stark Raving Mad will probably win, moreso because of it's location in the schedule than in relation to it's quality versus the competition. Futurama deserves to win.

Sadly I only recognise Shasta McNasty from this list. WTF are the other 2? (Of course I know Futurama...)

Shasta McNasty has been universally slammed by every TV critic in the nation. I have yet to read about ANYONE who has ANYTHING good to say about it. I cannot fathom how a show of this (lack of) quality can even get a nomination like this. Not that "People's Choice" is prestigious or anything, it's just that I would have assumed there were plenty of new shows worthier that this crap. Hell, even the half dozen episodes of Family Guy that aired before it was shitcanned were TV Gold in comparison.

One can only assume that of the four shows listed, Futurama has a greater Internet presence, which should lead to a landslide in Internet voting. I would like to see the statistical breakdown of the voting when all is said and done.

My prediction is that Futurama will receive 78% of the Internet vote.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, "What the hell!?" Were the "people" chosing these nominations guests at a rehab clinic or something?

Needless to say, I'll be casting my vote for "Futurama."
