BETTER CALL SAUL’S 53 EMMY LOSSES SETS RECORD FOR MOST EVER​

This includes, for its six seasons, the final one split into two parts:

• 7x Outstanding Drama Series
• 6x Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, Bob Odenkirk
• 6x Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series; between Vince Gilligan, Gordon Smith, Thomas Schnauz, & Peter Gould
• 1x Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, Vince Gilligan (S03E02, "The Witness")

It has been called by more than one critic during its run the best show on television, and the best spinoff series ever. Zero wins.


Tough to call it the most underrated or underappreciated show by critics, specifically the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, considering it racked up so many nominations, but that's rough. What other shows do you think are the most snubbed or underappreciated by the awards ceremonies?

 

[Jesus X]

This sort of thing makes the emmys less credible and valid.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Is it too late to make Saul a black trans lesbian?

 

[dc007]

That's crazy. Its one of the best shows in recent years.

 

[My Spot]

Damn, even The Shield won an Emmy.

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

That’s actually pretty wild. Great show even tho I only made it thru the 1st few seasons, thought they were dragging it out way too much.


The Chuck/Jimmy story line was my favorite part of the show. Such a crazy dynamic between them.

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

Too bad no “ outstanding show to watch if you have insomnia “ category… would have won every time .

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Wow, that's quite a statistic, thanks.

I guess Breaking Bad took all the awards for them.

Are the last seasons on netflix yet

 

[TeTe]

No wonder viewership set record lows this year. But just like how Chrissie hynde called the Grammys grotesque, the rest of these awards are just as bad.

 

[Kevster]

The Wire only ever got 2 nominations.

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

it was a fantastic show

I actually liked Better Call Saul a little more than Breaking Bad. I thought the supporting cast of characters was a lot better.
Jimmy, Chuck, Kim, Mike, Nacho, Howard, and Gustavo were all exceptional characters with great story arcs. Also, Lalo Salamanca is one of the greatest villains of all time.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has never won anything either and it’s the greatest comedy show of its time…

F the Emmys.

 

[Bob Gray]

That's nuts. If the Emmys had any cred to lose, this would have erased the last of it.

 

[Peteyandjia]

Better Call Saul and The Wire must suck, since they never won emmys

Way to shit all over the brand of your worthless trophies, decade after decade

Hopefully they continue to low-ratings themselves out of existence

Always Sunny has never even had a nomination, it's ridiculous.

 

[HereticBD]

What was it losing to?

 

[Wetarmpits]

It’s basically the Gaethje of series.
