Most of the TV series that have garnered awards here I'm not familiar of. But I fully trust the reasons behind each winning. And the super-interested-me will find a way to get hold of a copy of the best  series among the lot! It will take some time for me to finish a season, because honestly, I haven't finished or started watching some of the TV series DVDs I have kept in the past years.

A very inspiring opening number in the Emmy Awards by the GLEE cast!
