PGA TV noms: Mostly the usual suspects

Very glad to see that the Producers Guild included Ken Burns' incredible PBS docu "The Dust Bowl" among its nominees for longform TV programming.

The Brit series "Sherlock" also made the longform cut for the PGA. The rest of the TV nom pack was pretty predictable, which doesn't mean unworthy. "Mad Men" folks can rest assured that the snub by Golden Globe voters was not repeated by PGA members. It's in the drama hunt along with "Breaking Bad," "Downton Abbey," "Game of Thrones" and "Homeland."

Comedy contenders are: "30 Rock," "The Big Bang Theory," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Louie" and "Modern Family."

Here's the full list of the PGA's TV nominees, after the jump:
