From ‘Matlock’ to ‘St. Denis Medical,’ This Year’s Stellar Network Series Crop Has Emmy ‘High Potential’
From 'Matlock' to 'St. Denis Medical,' this year's season’s stellar new broadcast network series crop has Emmy 'High Potential.'
And they were well awarded for it: Broadcast has been shut out of the top drama or comedy Emmy since 2014, when ABC’s “Modern Family” won its last series honor. But comedy has always been a bright spot at the networks, and the recent success of “Abbott Elementary” and “Ghosts” is proof that some of the laughs are still in primetime (even if you’re watching those shows on Hulu or Paramount+). It never gets tired: When I moderate a panel with the “Abbott” or “Ghosts” folks, there’s always a point in the conversation when I ask them to tell the audience how many episodes they produce a season.
