The People's Choice Awards are fixed
[It's also one of the most-watched dramas on TV]
Favorite TV Comedy: Two and a Half Men
[Easily the most-watched comedy on TV]
Favorite Animated Comedy: The Simpsons
[The most-watched animated show on TV]
Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show: Heroes
[The most-watched ... OK, well, once "Lost" comes back, it probably won't be, but is sure was in the fall. And big competition for the "Fantasy" half of that category. Has somebody brought back "Xena"?]
Favorite Competition/Reality Show: Dancing With the Stars
['Idol' beats it, but like with the midseason "Lost," this is what the general population will pick when you ask them to vote in November. It's the most-watched reality competition that airs during the fall]
Favorite Game Show: Deal or No Deal
[You mean, of the four of them? "Deal" was the second most-watched]
Favorite Male TV Star: Hugh Laurie
[In other words: Is there a point, to having the public vote for the People's Choice when there are TV ratings that show which shows are the People's Choice? These picks correspond closely with what tops the Nielsen's most-watched list. Likewise, People's Choice Awards favorite movie? "The Dark Knight." Yes, I recognize the promotional, business and entertainment value behind throwing the awards. And, sure, I realize my whole point is pretty obvious. I'm just being a curmudgeon.]
Favorite Female TV Star: Christina Applegate
[Yeah, well, People magazine voters]
Favorite Talk Show Host: Ellen Degeneres
[Oprah, the tide has turned]
Favorite Scene-Stealing Guest Star: Robin Williams on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Favorite TV Drama Diva: Kyra Sedgwick as Deputy Chief Brenda Johnson on The Closer
[Isn't she that person who walks across the TV screen while I'm trying to watch the hobbits?]
Favorite New TV comedy: Gary Unmarried
[You mean most-watched new comedy]
Favorite new TV drama: The Mentalist
[You mean the most ... you get the point]
