To the Moon, Emmys
A show as iconic as The Honeymooners ought to have taken home tons of trophies. Yet the Emmys only recognized its actors, nominating Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows, and giving Art Carney the win. The show itself, its directors and writers didn't take home a thing. Why the oversight? Chances are it's because the show only ran for one year, from 1955 to 1956, and only shot 39 episodes. Yes, hindsight is 20-20, but failing to recognize one of history's most memorable sitcoms? One of these days, Emmys. Pow! Right in the kisser!
