The Emmy Winners of 1966
The nominees for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama were…
Leo G. Carroll for The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Leonard Nimoy for Star Trek
the winner was…
Eli Wallach for the Xerox Special: Poppies Are Also Flowers on ABC
I’m a big fan of Eli Wallach. Hell, I gave him the Oscar for best actor this year for playing Tuco in The Good, the Bad & the Ugly. But how can you not give this one to Spock?
The nominees for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama were…
Ruth Warrick for Peyton Place
the winner was…
Agnes Moorehead for The Wild Wild West on CBS
I haven’t seen any of this. Apparently you can’t even find a recording of that Olly Winter movie. I like Agnes Moorhead as Endora on Bewitched so I won’t argue with this one.
The nominees for Best Actor in a Drama were…
Ben Gazzara for Run for Your Life
David Janssen for The Fugitive
Martin Landau for Mission
the winner was…
Bill Cosby for I Spy on NBC
Damn! No love for Shatner? I want to throw this one Kirk’s way, but out of the nominated guys, I guess I’ll go with Landau.
The nominees for Best Actress in a Drama were…
Diana Rigg for The Avengers
Barbara Stanwyck for The Big Valley

Please! Barbara Bain was good but this has got to go to Miss Emma Peel.

The Avengers
I Spy

Tough category. Mission

Barney Fife is the man. You’ll get no argument from me.
The nominees for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy were…
Nancy Kulp for The Beverly
Marion Lorne for Bewitched

Aunt Bee is a good choice. Miss Hathaway on The Beverly Hillbillies would have been as well.
The nominees for Best Actor in a Comedy were…
Bob Crane for Hogan’s Heroes
Brian Keith for Family Affair
Larry Storch for F Troop

Larry Storch!!! Actually, I think Adam West should have gotten this one for Batman.

The Andy Griffith Show
Bewitched
Get Smart
Hogan’s Heroes

The Monkees on NBC
Firstly, Batman and I Dream of Jeannie should have gotten nominated, but I would give this to Andy Griffith. That was one hell of a good show.
Coming up we’ve got books, comics, sports, and then the music of 1966.
