The TCA Awards represents more than 200 television critics in print and online. Their member list is here. Modern Family led with five, Breaking Bad and Glee each got four.
Hard to quibble with these mostly wonderful choices. Especially happy to see Justified named as one of the year’s best new series.¬† Any group that appreciates brilliance ranging from Party Down to Rachel Maddow is ok by me.
