  The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: TV critics vote for merit, message
At the 20th annual Television Critics Association awards show Saturday night, members gathered to honor their choices for the best of the 2003-2004 season.
The show virtually owes its survival to the support of critics, who lobbied all season for its return and were rewarded when Fox announced it would bring the show back this fall in the post-"Simpsons" slot at 8:30 Sundays.
Although critics may not have voted political opinion on Saturday, events of the past year indirectly found their way into some speeches made by presenters and winners.

 MAGAZINE | CRAFT| DGA at the Television Critics Association | VOL 28-6: February 2004
Television shows are increasingly finding their ways into homes via DVDs that resemble those of feature films, including all the extras — deleted scenes, featurettes and commentary.
Some critics bemoaned that television is not what it once was, finding support in ratings figures indicating that even the top shows today are drawing numbers that would have guaranteed cancellation a decade ago.
However, while some wish that American television could be done the way it is in the U.K. and elsewhere, others commented that audiences, critics and those working in the industry in those countries are looking to these shores and wishing they had the variety and quality to be found on American television.

 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- AIDS drama, jail comedy get top awards from TCA
The awards were instituted five years after the association was established.
By singling out "Arrested Development," the association unintentionally boosted the morale of Fox, which in the days leading up to the TCA awards repeatedly took it on the chin from competitors who accused Fox of rejecting, and then stealing, ideas for TV shows after hearing producers make pitches for new programs.
In round one of the bout, Jeff Zucker, president of NBC Universal Television Group, took a punch, telling TV critics Fox used to be an innovator but is now an imitator because it's going to present two shows that are copies of series NBC has planned.
