Television offers both the thrill of the new and the comfort of the familiar. So with that in mind, I’ve decided to split my Best TV of 2024 roundup into two lists: one for the Debutantes, and another for the Returning Champions.

Jmunney’s 2024 Emmy Wish List

Will the Emmys look like this this year? (CREDIT: FX/Screenshot)

Good afternoon.

Good evening, and good morning.

It’s time for that annual tradition that all of us who are perpetually glued to the Boob Tube know and love: making an Emmy Wish List!!!!!

In years past, I’ve listed multiple favorites in all the major categories, but lately, I’ve preferred a more pared-down approach. So with this year’s edition, I’ve focused on spotlighting some selections that aren’t already getting the Emmy love. Maybe on July 17, I’ll be surprised to discover that my top picks actually are nominated. But no matter what happens, I’ll love them just the same.

Animation: There was some speculation among Emmy prognosticators that X-Men ’97 might end up in the Drama category, although ultimately it was submitted in the Animation field. But that push highlights the tricky spot that animated shows perpetually find themselves in. I’d love to see triumphs like Beavis and Butt-Head or Scott Pilgrim Takes Off submitted as Comedies, but it’s also nice to appreciate them as the toons that they are. Maybe the Animation category could be presented on the main telecast instead of the Creative Arts Emmys?
