Peabody Awards chooses annual list of TV shows that are not contributing to civilization's decline
The esteemed annual Peabody Awards have been announced, compiling a list of the television series and other forms of entertainment for vulgarians that are not slowly lobotomizing the population, essentially. And as always, it’s a smart roster of smart shows, including such A.V. Club favorites as Game Of Thrones, Parks And Recreation, Homeland, Portlandia, and Treme, plus recognition for The Colbert Report’s “Super PAC” segments and a couple of legacy awards for Jeopardy! and Austin City Limits. And as always, the winning shows were further honored by their astute descriptions in the Peabody press release, which somebody always spends a lot of time on and thus they merit sharing with you.
