2022 Broady Award Winners

7/8/2022

0 Comments

 
More than a decade ago when we began The Word we realized that the tide had changed on television, especially when it came to award shows like the Emmys in which shows on premium networks or cable channels (and in today's case streaming services) were winning almost all of the awards. There are still a lot of quality shows on network TV that we thought deserved some added attention, so we created a TV awards solely for shows on the broadcast networks (those that you could put an old school antenna up and still watch). ​

Best Drama: This Is Us (NBC) 
This is the second consecutive win for "This Is Us" and its fourth overall win in this category, which ties "Parenthood" for most all-time.

Hall of Fame Show: "Frasier" 
What began as a spin-off of one of broadcast television's all-time greatest comedy series "Cheers" (this recipient of this honor in 2019) wound up being the most honored sitcom in Emmy Awards history with 37 wins. 

Frasier Crane probably wasn't the most obvious choice of a "Cheers" character to make a spinoff go at with the hoity-toity psychologist serving as some high brow humor on the show about a Boston bar. But creators David Angell, Peter Casey and David Lee had the brilliant idea of moving Frasier back home to Seattle to be with his also stuck-up, high brow brother Niles (an amazing David Hyde Pierce) and their blue collar, former police officer father Martin (the wonderful John Mahoney), who seemed in no way possible of having raised these two men (which is where much of the show's humor comes in). Rounding out the cast were Jane Leeves as Daphne Moon, Martin's live-in physical therapist and future love interest to Niles and Peri Gilpin as Roz Doyle, Frasier's producer at his radio psychology show. 

"Frasier," which aired on NBC for 11 seasons from 1993-2004, is one of the standouts of NBC's "must-see TV" era and probably holds up today better than any sitcom of its era.

Hall of Fame Legend: Betty White
Betty White was not only a comedy legend in the world of Hollywood, she was truly THE pioneer. White, who died Dec. 31, 2021 at age 99, just 19 days shy of her 100th birthday, made the Guinness World Record in 2018 for the longest work streak in the medium of television. Her career spanned 1930 to 2021, being a part of all the major milestones that television has seen since it began. Simply put, up until this year, White has just always been there. 

White was busy making iconic characters like the sultry and flirty Sue Ann Nivens on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and the ditzy, but warm-hearted Rose Nylund on “The Golden Girls.” In 1952, “Life with Elizabeth” debuted with White as the star, but also as the first woman to produce a sitcom. White is important to the history of television not only because of her longevity, but her comedic range, whether it was setting up a joke, delivering a cutting line or using her physical comedy to make her viewers laugh hysterically. What was always truly fascinating about White is as she aged, she never seemed past her prime or out of touch with modern comedy. She could still make people laugh, and would do anything for a laugh, as evidenced by the social media campaign urging “Saturday Night Live” to let her host in 2010. And naturally, White earned an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for it. Even though White is not physically here, she’s never going to leave. She’s cemented her legacy in her iconic sitcoms that truly helped shape society, whether it was the changing times of women striking out on their own in the workforces in ‘Moore’ or showing seniors as more than just stereotypical “older people” in ‘Golden.’ White deserves all the accolades, including this year’s honor of the Broady Awards pioneer in television.
