Despite the wealth of television programming, the Emmys nominate just six shows for Drama Series. Our Experts, Editors and Users agree that there are seven strong contenders this year.

Leading the way is AMC's reigning four-time champ "Mad Men" with the freshman Showtime series "Homeland" battling the returning "Breaking Bad" for second place. 

Last year's Movie/Miniseries winner "Downton Abbey" is now contending in this category and this PBS series is in the middle of the pack according to our predictions.

HBO has a pair of sophomore series in contention, both of which were nominated last year -- the period drama "Boardwalk Empire" and the fantasy "Game of Thrones." 

"The Good Wife" has been nominated for each of its first two seasons on CBS; will third time still be the charm? You decide by voting in the poll below.
