"Boomtown" was shut out in this week's Emmy nominations, but TV critics showed the first-year drama some love at their own awards show.

The NBC cop show, which tells each of its stories from multiple points of view, received two Television Critics Association Awards, for outstanding new show and outstanding drama, Saturday (July 19) at the association's 19th annual awards dinner. Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" also won two awards, for outstanding comedy and for host Jon Stewart's work.

Critics also nominated "The Daily Show" for the news award, but ultimately made for the more conventional choice of PBS' "Frontline."

"American Idol" won the award for program of the year, which recognizes a show's quality but also takes into account other factors such as the impact it has on pop culture at large.

Perennial Emmy snubbee "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" received the Heritage Award, which honors a long-running program that has helped change the medium or the culture. Carl Reiner won a lifetime achievement award.
