One is a business ethics issue and the other is (theoretically) an award for making great television. The Emmys have been so out of touch with what people actually like that they're practically irrelevant. I looked at the years of Dallas seasons 3 through 7, none of which won an Emmy award for best series, and found out who did win. A series named Lou Grant won the Emmy in the year that was season 3 of Dallas - the events leading up to and including the shooting of JR Ewing.  Does anybody remember what happened in Lou Grant that year?In the years of seasons 4 through 7 of Dallas, the Emmy award for best dramatic series went to Hill Street Blues every single time. Hill Street Blues - a show that never cracked the top twenty in the ratings. Their first season won the Emmy while coming in 87th place in the ratings. 87th place. They should have named the award "TV so great the public just can't possibly appreciate its brilliance."</blockquote>
