If she would have been able to submit the Pilot, she would have won hands down!!! Stupid Emmys Stupid!
More like stupid MLP for submitting "The Punishment Light" to voters instead of "You Can't Miss the Bear". I think she would have been a nominee with "Bear" since she's hilarious in it and gets a nice breakdown.
The Punishment Light is a great tape also. Seriously, any episode from Season 1 should have gotten her a nomination, especially over Kudrow, Channing and Kaczmarek.
I pretty obviously disagree. I think all the actresses you mentioned were much stronger than she was in "The Punishment Light", which puts Nancy in weird situations that are just odd rather than unlikeable or likable. I also think her one big scene in "Punishment" isn't strong enough to overcome 30 minutes of barely there flirting with Donovan. She also was hurt by the fact that Elizabeth Perkins blows her out of the water in that episode - one where she is forced to share screen time with Nealon, Kirk, and Perkins.
Also, the 3 ladies you mentioned were much funnier than she was.
I really believe she would have bested JLD with "Bear". I also think it's pretty clear that MLP doesn't submit her best work. Barring season 2 when she did, she has always had episodes that were clear winners that she has refused to submit.

I just watched Friday Night Lights, "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall,", which of course was a stunning episode. However, I was shocked to see that this is the first episode in three seasons where Eric lies to Tami.
