It drives me insane that KoQ has not even been nominated for one award. I don't get it. I figured KoQ fans could nominate them for a People's Choice Award, turns out "People" don't get to nominate, just vote. That SUCKS! Why name it the People's Choice then? I want them to win- they deserve it. What can we do?......It would be cool if WE "the boardies" could make our own award and give it to them, to let them know they are appreciated. Please post your thoughts. Thanks.

It really is a shame, but I've gotten used to the fact that the Emmy's don't and never will care about KOQ.

People's Choice Award Nominations were announced on Thurday. Once again King of Queens has been overlooked.

That Blows!!! Shame on anyone who has ignored a GREAT comedy that deserves much recognition.
As Arthur would say: "I'll See You in Hell" (to all of the Academies and "awards" shows that recognize talent)

People's Choice Award Nominations were announced on Thurday. Once again King of Queens has been overlooked.

Unfortunately, since we know how good a show it is, maybe it's best they don't get nominated. It's a false award anyways, meant to promote the people behind the award, PROCTOR AND GAMBLE. I would rather KoQ know that they mean more to us than some cheezy award that means nothing but more $$$ for a company that specializes in soap, toothpaste, etc.

There are many web sites that talk abt how most of these awards show that we are bombarded with mean nothing, except, maybe to the person(s) who receive them. But even those "winners" of the People's Choice awards know in advance they are going to "win" so what is the surprise there? Only to the audience. We are then deluged with their commercials to buy their products.

I love King of Queens and they deserve a better much more meaningful award. An Emmy for each star and for the writers and the rest of the crew. This show is awesome, funny, different and straight out hilarious.

BEST ACTOR/COMEDY

Kevin James (The King of Queens, CBS): The roly-poly James is the Rodney Dangerfield of TV sitcom leads — he gets no respect. But he gets nothing but respect — and laughs — from me.

alright!!!! JP thanks for this breath of fresh air, this dude is Smart.

That's good. Finally, someone has a brain...well, at least half of one.:lol:
I see some favoritism is going on, Julia Louis-Dreyfus for Lead Actress? Everyone is picking her!
:hello It should be Leah!!

I mean just call her old Elaine. We know she's Elaine. She'll always be Elaine. And her current sitcom set has a taste of "Joey's" set...argh.....

Leah's Mid-life Achievement Award, awarded by Ellen Degeneres :lol:

love how the music cuts her off and she gets in a fight with ellen :lol: :lol:

Damn, JP, you are good with the graphics :clap
I'd like to take credit, but that is an actual picture.

lol i think my pic shows leah's road to the emmys. she started with ellen's mid lifetime achievment award, then that other one she got for funniest lady or somethin then comes the emmy!!!!

I will be shocked and happy at the same time if Leah gets nominated. I just don't see it happening.

You know at least 2 desperate housewives are going to get nominated. Then there is some pretty heavy buzz on Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls) and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. That leaves one spot and that'll probably go to somebody from WEEDS. OY!!!

Kevin James nominated!!! I'm happy, but it's hard to believe! :clap: :clap :dance:

As for Leah, and Jerry not being nominated......

Arthur:"You Emmy bastaaaards!!" :mooner: :p :lol:

In September, I thought this would be the year that Jerry Stiller gets an Emmy nomination. Now that the nominations came out, he was overlooked again. How could the Academy do such a thing?

YAAAAAAAY KEVIN YOU CAN DO IT!!!!:) :dance:
and cryin in the corner here for leah and jerry....:( :crying:

It's ridiculous! Plain and simple. :bonk:

They also dropped the ball in the Lead Actress Category In A Comedy Series, as J.P. pointed out! Two of them shows were cancelled, it is stupid that they'd even get nominated for roles on a crap show!
Lisa Kudrow?? That "Comeback" show was cancelled after only having 13 episodes.
What a waste of a nomination, I think.

ohno:

I have to diagree.
I think that Lisa Kudrow deserves the nomination (I think the Comeback ended not canceled) but Jane Kaczmarek & Stockard Channing I'm not sure.

Wow, this is beyond shocking! I know we all wanted Leah as well, but I honestly didn't expect ANY. And yeah, it is a crime that they also left out Jerry!

It's rediculous! Plain and simple. :bonk:

Okay, I'll give you Lisa Kudrow (even though I've never seen the show).
But Stockard Channing??!! I watched that show a few times. She was good but not great. Show cancelled.
Debra Messing?... Overrated
Jane Kaczmarek & Julia Louis-Dreyfus I'm on the fence on those 2.

They may all be funny. But they're not Leah Remini funny.

But, of course, JMO....

Zap2it (http://www.zap2it.com/tv/news/zap-emmys06-nominations,0,64579.story?coll=zap-rotator-coll)

Then there's the lead actress in a comedy category, in which four of the five nominees -- Stockard Channing ("Out of Practice"), Jane Kaczmarek ("Malcolm in the Middle"), Lisa Kudrow ("The Comeback") and Debra Messing ("Will & Grace") -- are from series that no longer exist. Only Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who helped announce the nominees Thursday morning, will be back next season in "The New Adventures of Old Christine."

WOOHOO!!! Go Kevin. Bring one home for The King of Queens

Kevin James has deserved this nomination for years....

The only thing that is sad involving Kevin James and the Emmys, is the many years it took for them to recognize him for his outstanding work on "The King of Queens"!!
Not only does he deserve the nomination, he deserves to win the award!

"Only one big surprise in the Lead Actor in a Comedy category: Kevin James who after seven seasons on the show gets a nomination for his role on "The King of Queens." The funny thing is that whether or not the show is coming back is a mystery. It did not make it onto the fall schedule. James goes up against Emmy vets, Larry David for "Curb Your Enthusiasm", Tony Shalhoub for "Monk", Charlie Sheen for "Two and Half Men" and Steve Carell for "The Office." My Pick: Carell"

"Even more welcome, perhaps, was The King of Queens star Kevin James in his first nomination (after eight years) in the lead actor comedy category. Still snubbed, unfortunately, was James’ TV wife, Leah Remini."

Marc Berman (http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/networktv/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002800882)

:cool: Thanks for that. It's nice to see someone else on our side, instead of hatin'. ;)

props: to Marc Berman!!

yes finally a reporter with some sense!!!! We worship you Marc :lol:

They are hard to find, but i found another one: Jane Holahan (http://local.lancasteronline.com/4/24168)

“Two and a Half Men,” a smarmy sitcom in which Charlie Sheen makes smarmy jokes about his sex life, was nominated for best comedy series. “The King of Queens,” which has been one of the funniest and sweetest comedies on TV for years, was not. I don’t think it ever has been nominated. (Happily, its star, Kevin James, did get a nod, though Leah Remini, who plays his wife and is terrific, did not.)

That whole article was muy bueno. Gracias.

props: to Jane, a writer with a brain!! :lol:

I have been trying to find out which episode was submitted to the Emmy board. Now I know:

"Kevin James is the big surprise in the comedy actor race," says Emmy® expert TOM O'NEIL, who shares his expertise with ET and also on the Web site theenvelope.com. "In Kevin's episode, he installs a stripper pole in his bedroom to spice up his marriage, and when his wife can't get the actions down, he shows her how it is done. It is hilarious."

ETonline (http://et.tv.yahoo.com/tv/15378/)

What a great ep to submit. Thanks for the confirmay-shee-own! :)

Award Central (http://www.variety.com/ac2006_article/VR1117947680?nav=eperfs) Check out Kevin's quote. :lol:

So when are the Emmy's aired? I'm only watching them this time because of Kevin James...

Another of the uninformed: Doug Elfman (http://www.suntimes.com/output/entertainment/sho-sunday-elf27.html)

Honor just to be nominated: Larry David for "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and Tony Shalhoub for "Monk." Even if you like Carell, it's hard to argue he's got better comic chops than David, and Shalhoub is sublime even if his show is hit-and-miss. Sheen will lose, too, plus Kevin James of "The King of Queens." I don't know one person who talks about that show.

Email him and introduce yourself so that he'll know someone who talks about the show: delfman@suntimes.com

Email him and introduce yourself so that he'll know someone who talks about the show: delfman@suntimes.com

:lol: Will do!

The hits just keep on comin':

Rather than creating a new solution, they simply combined two old problems. Another difficulty is that the blue ribbon panel of “experts” only tends to watch one demo episode of each candidate. Thus, King of Queens may have only had one really good episode, while Arrested Development consistently delivered many good episodes. However, as the panel only saw one of each, they liked the one episode for KoQ more than the one for Arrested Development, and thus KoQ lead actor Kevin James got a nomination that belonged to someone else.

Get your head outta your behind Rudy Hartmann! (http://www.tuftsobserver.org/arts/20060915/o_tempora_o_mores_the_200.html)

I will never understand what the hell is so special about Arrested Development! JMO

King of Queens may have only had one really good episode, while Arrested Development consistently delivered many good episodes.

:rolleyes: I think if Arrested Development really delivered such good episodes, they would have had a larger fanbase, and wouldn't have been cancelled before reaching a 4th season.
Rudy Hartmann is "a few fries short of a happy meal." :crazy:

Whether Rudy or anyone else likes it or not, KJ deserved that nomination. :p

If KOQ was a top 20 show the awards would be flying off the shelves.
I know I will catch hell for this, but KOQ has cult fan base just as
Arrested Development had. Voters look at popular shows with ratings
appeal. Monk is a consistent top 4 show on cable every week, hence
the reason that actor(sorry his name escapes me) won over KJ,Carell
and the others.

If you are going to call AD and KoQ "cult" shows, then why has AD been nominated many times and won many times?? I'll tell you why, because AD is a darling of the critics which makes me dislike it that much more! The KoQ is not a "cutting edge" or "unique" show. The plots are fairly simple. Bottom line for a sitcom for me is, is it funny? The KoQ is DAMN funny, IMO.
Screw the critics and screw the Emmys!! We don't friggin' need 'em to know it's a GREAT show!!
It peeves me when critics slam the KoQ when you know damn well they probably haven't watched it in 3 or 4 years.
Welcome to hell... :lol: j/k

Where was the ratings appeal for Arrested Development? It had low ratings all 3 seasons it was on. The creator of the show said so himself, no one watched it. :lol:

Unfortunately, Arrested Development is the funniest program on television that no one has been watching. "The academy has twice rewarded us for something you people won't watch," creator Mitchell Hurwitz quipped to the TV audience during his Emmy acceptance speech last night.

Arrested Development (http://www.afterellen.com/TV/2005/9/arresteddevelopment.html)
