Why 'Ghosts' Deserves a Long-Overdue Emmy Nomination for Best Comedy Series

The sad truth of the television landscape these days is that most comedies are what I call 'hmph comedies.'

Ghosts is a show that has been consistently delivering laughs, heart, and some of the best ensemble work on television for four seasons now, and the Emmys have completely ignored it.

What makes Ghosts special is not just that it's funny — which it is, consistently — but that it uses its supernatural premise to explore real human emotions and historical perspectives in ways that few other comedies attempt.

The cast has developed a rhythm and chemistry that is genuinely rare, where even a minor character can steal a scene with a single line delivery.

It's far past time that the TV Academy and its voters give a nod to one of broadcast's most supernaturally funny shows.
