Best Emmy Winner for Best Drama Series

tv

Since 1966, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has awarded the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series to more than 30 TV series. Some have won the honor once, some up to four times. While the bar has been significantly raised on what constitutes top-tier television, all of the shows to receive the Best Drama Series honor deserve consideration. And so the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to determine: what IS the Best TV Series to win the Emmy for Best Drama? “Hill Street Blues”? “Picket Fences”? “The Practice”? “ER”? “The West Wing”? “The Sopranos”? “Lost”? “Mad Men”? “Breaking Bad”? “Game of Thrones”?
