Our Monday morning roundup of a half dozen things TV Squad readers - and TV fans in general - will be talking about this week.
1. Emmy nominations. If Moonlight and Jericho aren't nominated for every award, fans are gonna be pissed. (Thursday at 8:30am on E!, ABC, CBS, and NBC. We'll also have live blog coverage here!)
2. Season premieres of Monk, Psych, The Closer, and Saving Grace. Remember when summer was all about reruns? (The Closer and Saving Grace premiere tonight on TNT, while Monk and Psych premiere Friday on USA.)
3. The Gong Show. A remake of the classic show that has three judges choosing the very few talented performers out of dozens of terrible ones. Wait, that sounds like American Idol. (Thursday at 10 on Comedy Central.)
4. TV Squad reports from the TCA tour. Follow us here and on Twitter. All the hip kids are doing it!
5. It's Star Trek Week here at TV Squad. We'll all be dressed as our favorite character as we post reviews, lists, and essays about the original series.
6. Mad Men marathon. The second season starts on July 27, so grab your Lucky Strikes and some bourbon and settle in for an all-day season one marathon. (Sunday starting at noon on AMC.)

Yes, Jericho fans will be pissed if Jericho doesn't get any nominations! Shoot, J.D. Streett should get a nomination just for that awesome napalm run in episode 1 of Season 2 along with the cast and crew!!

Heck, we were already mad when they changed the time to 10P at night, gave us a long hiatus, and called Season 2 7 episodes!! Agree with Susan, J.D. Street acheived "too good for TV" special effects in Jericho, hands down. From the napalm run, to the bomb, to the jet fight...so many things never before done on television. I don't see how Jericho can miss being nominated. It's the first compelling, intellectual, and entertaining thing we had on TV for years! As we've always said, had it been named: CSI: Jericho, they'd of never cancelled it!

You're right about the Jericho fans. We feel we've been yanked around enough.
