Emmy choices are hardly unanimous

PAUL BROWNFIELD apparently has a different criteria for what makes “good television” than Emmy voters [“Steps and Stumbles,” Aug. 28]. He sounds like a network executive when he bemoans the fact that this year’s winners Megan Mullally, Blythe Danner, Tony Shalhoub (all of whom were previous winners for the same roles) are for some reason unworthy of their statues because they were not on the most popular and highest rated shows of the year.
The Emmy Awards recognize excellence. If anything, the list of this year’s winners clearly shows that Emmy voters are indeed watching.

IT’S unbelievable that the only perfect show on TV, “Deadwood,” has not only been canceled by HBO but also wasn’t honored at the Emmy Awards as the best drama with the best cast and writing on TV today.
