LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - TV critics like their cop shows complex and their news with a heavy dose of humor, based on nominations for the annual TV Critics Association Awards.
HBO leads all networks with 10 nominations for the annual awards, voted on by the 200 or so members of the association. NBC got eight nods, PBS six and CBS five.
Among individual programs, Comedy Central's "Daily Show" and NBC's "Boomtown" each earned four nominations, including nods for the TCA's top award, Program of the Year. FOX's "American Idol" and "24" and HBO's "The Wire" are also up for the award.
"The Daily Show" pulled off the rare double of being nominated for both outstanding comedy and outstanding news and information program.
