Fall Poolies Watch- Comedy

I have grown accustomed to reviewing television here at the Quiet Pool Perspective as of late, but my first love in regards to tv has always been ranking, voting and listing. So as we get closer to the Third Annual Quiet Pool Television Awards, we will continue to take a look at how things are shaping up. With some of our favorites gone, and plenty of new competition, the 2010 Poolies should once again be quite the event. As always, I'm looking for input from both Poolie voters and non-voters in order to make the nomination process of a more democratic nature. Sound off in the comments, email me at d4cella@gmail.com or hit me on twitter @quietpool.

  1. haley has been really good so far, she should be on the radar. i think gabe should be definitely in. the only way he doesn't win is if he gets written off in the next couple eps.

  2. Haley Dunphy? I don't think she's been any better than last season. She's always on my radar, but three from Mod Fam. You like her more than Claire or Gloria?

    And yes Gabe should be a definite. As long as he stays relevant on the show he will be nominated, and has a chance at winning this thing.

  3. For best ep, the Sunny contenders so far are The Gang Buys a Boat and Mac's Big Break. -jaydon
