It was unlike anything seen before on U.S. TV; the only thing that really came close in style was DOBIE GILLIS with all the quick cuts.<br /><br />Adams likely would have won in 1965-66, but Dick Van Dyke and his show were certainly going to win in 1965-66 for the show's final season. Since Storch was second-billed on F TROOP, I can see why they'd nominate him in the lead category, but certainly Forrest Tucker had the largest role (and was the primary "name" cast member too). Had the show come back for a third season in 1967-68 I believe Storch would have won an Emmy, but there was no way Adams wasn't going to be rewarded after waiting his turn the season before--yup, a makeup call IMO.<br /><br />GET SMART itself would win best comedy series the following year, and Adams repeated as well. Since we now know he was going to win the award twice more (yup, 1969 too!) I wish Storch would have won in 1967.<br /><br />Moorehead wasn't a lead, and was nominated in the Supporting category the season before as well as the two years following! She didn't win in any of the four years. <br /><br />I think I would have awarded Kulp in the supporting actress category. She was consistently great, and so was the unnominated Raymond Bailey.<br /><br />As much as I love Don Knotts as Barney Fife, he had already won multiple times for the playing the character by 1967. Among those listed, I would have chosen Klemperer. Unless Storch was in the category. :)<br /><br />Barbara Stanwyck had won the leading actress Emmy in 1966. Bain would win again in 1968 (all three actresses repeated as nominees).<br /><br />Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09291930694234773688noreply@blogger.com
