While I do agree with all of you that the three shows given tribute to are much more popular, those three have been involved with the Emmys since they all started. By that, I mean best actor/actress, best director, and the more prominent awards. Not just “creative make up” and others. All I am saying is that they should have had a 5-10 minute tribute to honor all the hard work on TV shows that have come to an end this past year.
@littlesis1774,Ryan Murphy announced season 6 would be the final season of Nip/Tuck after the first half of season 5 finished in 2008. I am also pretty sure that every time they advertized for season six’s start and the individual episodes, they said “the final season.” It was not cancelled, but Heroes sadly was indeed. They tried to get NBC to have a “farewell” mini-series, but they said the only option is a TV movie and that might not even happen.
Here’s the link to an article reporting on NBC’s announcement...

ALSO: while I am a fan of Heroes and have been since season 2, I am the first to admit it has many problems. However, I do think it opened up the genre of average people gaining super-human powers for televison shows (look at some of the new shows like No Ordinary Family). It also deserved some recognition from NBC for being able to last for four years. Most shows are lucky if they make it past the first 13 episodes without getting the axe.
@KCohere, wasn’t Law & Order cancelled and they never got a chance to end things respectively? I’m just curious because I never really watched it that much and heard they tried to get a TV movie and there was even talk of it being picked up on another network.

I dont really know. Im a fan of the show but I didnt watch the finale. All I know is that there was a big uproar about it being cancelled when it was so close to usurping Gunsmoke as the longest running tv show of all time.
