Those Televisions Critics are a strange breed. Today the Television Critics announced their nominations for their annual awards. The Television Critics Association Awards, or the more simply stated TCA’s, have shut out top ranked network CBS for their awards while giving heaps of praise upon ratings challenged NBC. FX was also a network that got slighted by the nations critics despite having a number of original shows.
