Now that the critics have spoken by releasing their nominations for the 2008 Television Critics Association Awards, this TV Addict wanted to give you the viewer, also known as the only critics that really matter, a chance to voice your opinion. Are you pleased with the TCA’s Nods? Or are you too bothered by the inclusion of HBO’s incredibly overrated JOHN ADAMS and the conspicuous absence of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, DEXTER and Michael Emerson [and that’s just off the top of my head!]
