Desi Arnaz, 'I Love Lucy' | Top 15 Emmy Snubs | Comcast.net TV

Critics were passionate about HBO's 'The Wire,' a gritty, complex drama from David Simon, which unfortunately and undeservedly suffered from Emmy neglect throughout its entire five-year run. (Photo: HBO)

Another Aaron Sorkin ('The West Wing') batch of brilliance that was perhaps a little ahead of its time. While it earned three technical Emmys, it never got any recognition for the biggies, like writing, acting or Best Comedy. (Photo: ABC)

This is a darn shame, if only because Hugh Laurie gives such fantastic speeches. It certainly seems like cranky Dr. House should have collected TV's highest honor by now, but he's lost twice. Maybe his luck will change at this year's ceremony, where he's nominated again.(Photo: FOX)

Star Andre Braugher DID recieve one Best Actor nomination for the gritty cop series 'Homicide,' but it's a too bad the series itself never was looked at as a Best Drama. (Photo: NBC)

For shame, for shame. Lauren Graham, one half of the brilliant, bantering mother-daughter duo on the charming 'Gilmore Girls' was dissed repeatedly by the Emmys. That rapid-fire dialogue isn't easy to do you know... (Photo: The WB)

Courteney Cox, who ironically was the main 'name' that launched the show before they all became a phenomenon, was the only 'Friend' never to get nominated for an Emmy. (Photo by Toby Canham/Getty Images)

Kristen Davis's prim and proper portrayal of fussy, uptight Charlotte York never got her any Emmy recognition, even though every other one of the 'Sex and the City' girls did. (Photo by Vince Bucci/Getty Images)

Poor Buffy. Just because she was a Vampire Slayer doesn't mean she shouldn't have been taken seriously. Joss Whedon's cult gem sparkled with smart writing, sassy humor and solid acting. (Photo: Warner Brothers)

The Emmys made a fumble by overlooking the wonderful family drama 'Friday Night Lights.' Another great series championed by critics, ignored by viewers... (Photo: NBC)

Even though the beloved TV star had three major shows to his credit, 'Bonanza,' Little House on the Prairie,' and Highway to Heaven,' Michael Landon never once received an Emmy nomination. (Photo: MPTV)

Apparently Bob Newhart's mild-mannered humor didn't do it for Emmy voters. The comedian had two shows named after him and still he never won an Emmy. (Photo by Michael Buckner/Getty Images)

Life must have been tough in Lucy's shadow, but Desi Arnaz was hilarious in his own right. Still, he never received a single Emmy nomination. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
