Sliver Globes Award Nominees 2016

While I have no plans to stop these Saturday posts at the moment, there could be potential problems with my laptop as it has been doing unreliable things since Monday. If this laptop stops working properly, while I would keep certain blogs updated, this wouldn't be one of them. Indeed, it froze while I was working on this. I would plan on coming back to this when I do have a better computer if I do have to go on a long hiatus. If the problems get fixed, then I would keep these updates as usual. I wish that I were caught up enough to do the Christmas commercials from last year, but I'm blocked with one last tape, but the moment that I'm able to see the last three important shows on it from before Advent starts, then it should be the very next thing that I post (unless something else is more relevant at the time). Now I do have another annual tradition that I do in this blog that I might as well get to now since I normally do it at the beginning of the year but am just now having it ready for you. I might even work on even more annual posts to do in this and future years (provided my computer keeps working well). Now, let's get to the long awaited post:

Every year I make up awards to give for what I felt was the best of TV in the previous year. Well, here I am again with my next set of awards from the previous year.
