Still, the quality of the show really hasn't suffered under Fox's aegis and the young network is happy to be able to promote its new fall shows during the telecast to many viewers who don't ordinarily watch Fox.

As usual, one's happiness with an Emmy show depends on how one's favorites do when the awards are passed around. This year's crop of nominations at least has the potential for some interesting upsets because so many cable shows produced competitive nominations in the major categories. Two special notes: Those who thought PBS's "The Civil War" was the best program of the past TV season should be aware it didn't enter eight categories it was eligible to which may be why it receded only two nominations in documentary categories. And Fox's "The Simpsons," which many fans expected to see vying for best comedy series, was not eligible because Television Academy rules prohibit animated shows from that category. Expect a change in that rule by next year when "The Simpsons" will be joined by at least three-other prime-time cartoon shows ABC's "Capitol Critters" and CBS's "Family Dog" and "Fish Police" as possible Emmy contenders.

Here are our personal picks of the shows and performers we liked best among the actual nominees. However, we don't expect many of them to be tonight's actual winners.
