Michael J. Fox made Emmy history 40 years ago and set a benchmark that has yet to be broken. In 1986, Fox was a second-time nominee for playing Alex P. Keaton, the conservative-leaning eldest child of former hippie parents on NBC’s sitcom Family Ties — and a burgeoning movie star on the heels of 1985’s…
A decade before Kareem Rahma clipped a microphone to a Metro card and started asking New Yorkers for their Subway Takes, Steve Buscemi created an Emmy-winning talk show by chatting with folks on a park bench.

If nothing else, 1935’s Mutiny on the Bounty answers the burning question: What does Clark Gable look like without a mustache?

Decades before Sheryl Lee Ralph became an Emmy-winning scene stealer on Abbott Elementary, she was serving up expertly timed laughs on another workplace sitcom. It’s a Living debuted on ABC in 1980.

Kathy Bates is in the Emmy conversation this year for her lead role on CBS’ new Matlock. But her name has been synonymous with awards buzz for most of her 50-plus years on stage and screen. The Tennessee native had moved to New York after college and was a well-established theater actress before she broke…
It didn’t have Tom Cruise dangling from an airplane — it didn’t even have Peter Graves thumbing through IMF dossiers in his apartment — but the Mission: Impossible TV pilot still managed to light the fuse on one of Hollywood’s biggest action franchises. The brainchild of Rawhide alum Bruce Geller, the 1966–73 CBS series blended…
Two decades before viewers began booking time with The White Lotus, series creator Mike White struck a chord with the movie School of Rock.
