I'm happy they're getting some awards. I could see them getting some Teen Choice/People's Choice awards too.

This is such an appropriate award for them, too. A show's main character group doesn't get much more diverse than a heap of non-Caucasian kids/staff, gay kid, wheelchair kid, Jewish kids, child of same-sex couple, OCD teacher, pregnant kid. The best thing is that they aren't exactly the top of the social ladder, but they're still all being empowered in some way or another.

yeah, its diverse cast is a standout, NBC's community has a rather diverse cast too without falling to stereotype, and there is always Degrassi.

LOL @ Degrassi... such a ridiculous show but I love it anyway.

Also, I agree with you both, Glee totally deserves this award!

I am so hooked on Degrassi! It is so very ridiculous and it goes there I blame The N for running a marathon one weekend and getting me hooked. I'm even watching the latest, even if I do miss most of the original cast.
