Legacy media dominates this year’s list of television nominees, with two nods in the “Favorite Kids TV” category going to reboots of Gen X favorites Are You Afraid of the Dark? and The Baby-Sitters Club, and another, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, a spin-off of the popular film franchise.  “Favorite Family TV,” meanwhile, sees another Generation nostalgia vehicle, Cobra Kai, the Karate Kid sequel series, get a nomination alongside the aforementioned iCarly, spinoff Young Sheldon, and three superhero series; The Flash, and Marvel Studios’ Wandavision and Loki.

In “Favorite Reality Show,” two of the six nominees are long-running series with season orders in the double digits: American Idol and America’s Got Talent. “Favorite Cartoon” is also dominated by franchise favorites including Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, The Smurfs, and Looney Tunes Cartoons whose star Bugs Bunny first appeared in 1938.

In the music categories, the heavy hitters like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber, and Ed Sheeran battle it out in the Favorite Female and Male Musical Artist categories, while newcomers like Chloë and Glass Animals are nominated for Best Breakout Artist.
