There has been some surprising, and not so surprising, wins at the recently concluded Emmy Awards. “The Sopranos” made history by whacking its dramatic competition while the atings-challenged new sitcom “30 Rock” rolled to a much-needed win.
By being crowned best series at the 59th annual Primetime Emmys Sunday, HBO’s mob series becomes the first drama to record a walk-off Emmy in three decades — an understandable trend, given the heat that traditionally tends to surround newer kids on the block.
Completing a rather remarkable arc, “30 Rock” goes from being that other “Saturday Night Live”-inspired backstage TV show that NBC developed in 2006 – the other being the since-canceled “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” – to an Emmy recipient, albeit one much in need of whatever benefits that honor carries based on its little-seen freshman year.
