Star Trek Peabody

[andrew65]

I was just wondering since Star Trek only won one Peabody award, how much would the actual award be worth?

How do you mean that? Money worth? Or prestige worth?

Money worth: nothing.

Prestige worth: at the time, quite a lot. TNG was the first syndicated show to ever win a Peabody. And happening midway through the first season, it was an indication that they were finally getting it right.

I'm more concerned about how many SHERMAN awards they got.

What's a Peabody Award?

They were still referring to him as "The Boy" at that point.

Ha. I was exactly thinking of this show when I saw this thread

You mean, the fact that Trek has only won one and clearly deserves more (for DS9 for example) means that you don't trust the award?

Eh, it's still a very prestigious award. BSG, Dexter, The Wire, The Sopranos, The Office. The Simpsons...they've got good taste. And unlike the Emmys, they don't give wtf awards to big-fanbase shows like Grey's Anatomy just because they are popular and they want viewers to tune in to the awards ceremony.

They're like the Saturn Awards, they don't mean much.

The Saturn Awards run RINGS around all the other ones!
