By most accounts he is not. I will say it made me laugh when they showed the party they all had at the end, singing & dancing. He was having a ball!

Yes that is the easily confused difference between the names. Very good.

Not sure why you've been downvoted. The Doggett and Scully dynamic was pretty interesting, especially with how the show was really running out of steam by the end of Season 7.
I'd say that Season 8 is pretty up-and-down, but there's stuff good stuff there.

The overarching mythology episodes in Seasons 10 and 11 are awful, but the Monster Of The Week episodes are fantastic

I find it just a fun thing to cap off a great or bad year of television, and whoever is or isnt nominated

Is it possible that Brian Cox is a total dbag in real life too?

Can't tell if you meant to say mildly or I'm so behind the times with the kids now that 'mid' is used as midly now

I guess I take a contrarian perspective. For many years, TV took a backseat to film, and the acme of success was when an actor or director or writer who started in TV and learned the ropes, elevated themselves into film work. There are countless examples. Emmy, by recognizing TV work as having real worth, helped balance the equation a tad, rewarding noteworthy efforts on the small screen.
Now, actors, writers and directors move back and forth, and TV frequently surpasses film from a quality perspective. An Emmy award nomination, if not the win, can bolster a career, and keep talented people actively engaged within the medium. So for me, it's no harm, no foul.

Dragnet was revived in February 2003, rechristened Dragnet LA in the fall of that year, and gone by Christmas. This was the 2nd TV crime drama where Ed O'Neill tried to shed the Al Bundy imagery. He finally did it with Modern Family, where his character wasn't as crude as Al.

Awards have never been indicative of quality to my mind. Rather they just tell you that in a particular group of (probably somewhat insular) people, most of them, for any number of reasons (some of which may have nothing to do with quality), believed the show/actor/etc. should win. They have no meaning for me and I don't watch them or even follow up afterwards to see who won.

A military dramedy in same vein of Hogan's or MASH is #1 on my most wanted list.
