	Would have liked it better if the winning episode name was given. Otherwise, it's name great TV dramas. Still enjoyed it.

	I agree with @rockgolf. I was hoping that the X Files episode that won was "Jose Chung's From Outer-Space" ... but it is "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose"... still a great episode. This is an awesome quiz, makes me want to re-watch a few series.

	Travesty that The Wire never won, not that it's that important or anything.

	I liked Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose better, but really those are far and away the top two X-files episodes ever. Little shocked that the pilot for Twin Peaks didn't win an emmy for best writing. It was the only pilot good enough to be a film but not good enough for an emmy.

	@s1rweeze that really surprised me as well. That is one of many shows that I need to finish wathing. @betared I rank Bad Blood up there too, it gets me every time. I have always wanted to watch Twin Peaks but never made the time... So much television so little time.

	Why are certain years in the 60s and 70s missing?

	rockgolf:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 17:57 GMT	1 point
	I checked the Emmy results. In most or all those years, the award went to a non-recurring program - either a mini-series or a movie, like Roots, Holocaust, or "Benjamin Franklin". The likely correct answers would be less than 1%.

	I thought Roots won one... I was kinda confused but decided not to read into it all that much.

	@rockgolf: I actually tried Roots and Holocaust as guesses. I think those years should have been included.

	i probably wouldn't have gotten '62-'64 if it weren't for '08-'09.

	wow. i only got two. and that's because it was the same show. apparently i don't watch tv.

	Not sure if it's only me, but I only got one St. Elsewhere...the 1984 St. Elsewhere didn't populate.

	No Deadwood, the Shield, or the Wire? What the hell is going on!
