No Emmys for Battlestar Galactica

Well, the Emmy nominations are out and Battlestar Galactica got rooked. I love SciFi. But, even if you don’t, BG is an incredibly well-done series. Great characters, great character development, a very intriguingly-put-together “sci fi” universe, great acting. Great, great, great. Really. Give it a shot. Season 2 starts Friday night (7/15) on the SciFi Network. Watch it, then watch Monk on USA Network. Monk’s star, Tony Shaloub, DID get an Emmy nomination this year (he’s won at least once for that role), and this week’s episode marks the return of guest star John Turturro as Monk’s equally-oddball brother, Ambrose Monk, whose first appearance a couple of seasons ago was maybe the best single episode of the series to date. Friday on cable is the real “Must See TV.”
