Take a look at my 10 favourite tv shows. Four of the top five originate from HBO. Their programming has been heads and tails above the competition for years and years now. I've been singing their praises for quite some time despite the fact it is illegal for me to subscribe to this station. When HBO creates another Sopranos or Six Feet Under I have to hope a station I can receive cares enough to carry it.
Yesterday's Emmy telecast validated my belief that HBO kicks NBC/ABC/CBS/Fox' ass. The numbers don't lie. Here's the total number of wins secured by each of the aforementioned networks.
- HBO - 16
- Fox - 3
- NBC - 3
- ABC - 2
- CBS - 1
Not even close.
