Hit TV series, unlike the limited run of hit movies, can span seasons potentially piling up the award count.

What Oscars are to the film industry, the Emmys are to the television equivalency. But unlike films TV series can continue for seasons with a potential of piling on on the awards count.

Saturday Night Live 

Wins— 73

Nominations - 275

Genre: Comedy

Run: 46 seasons

Year of release: 1975

Network- NBC

Created by Lorne Michaels, this sketch-comedy show that airs "Live from New York", won the award for outstanding variety, music, or comedy series in its very first year and another one in 1993. Still going strong, it doesn't look anyone can catch up with its catch ever.

Game of Throne

Wins— 59

Nominations - 160

Genre: Drama

Run: 8 seasons

Network: HBO

Year of release: 2011

A rare drama in this list of sitcoms and comedies, the series heavily dependent on special effects, did pick up most of its awards in the technical department but it did win the outstanding drama series, after 8 consecutive nominations in 2019, before bowing out.

Frasier 

Wins— 37

Nominations - 107

Genre: Sitcom

Run: 11 seasons

Year of release: 1993

Network: NBC

Spun off from 'Cheers', it's a classy comedy centred in Chicago. Two snooty psychiatrist-brothers, their lovable dad, equally lovable dog, Brit physical therapist & housekeeper and that incongruous Eames Lounge chair – what's not to like. Won outstanding comedy series five times and both the brothers brought in 4 trophies each. One of very few sitcoms that were well received all throughout.

The Simpsons

Wins— 34

Nominations - 95

Genre: Sitcom (animation)

Run: 32 seasons

Year of release: 1989

Network: Fox Broadcasting Company

About half of the total wins of this longest-running American primetime animated series have come from Outstanding Voiceover Performance category and 10 more from Outstanding animated program. Call it just a cartoon/animation at your own risk.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show

Wins— 29

Nominations - 67

Genre: Sitcom

Run: 7 seasons

Year of release: 1970

Network: CBS

No series of any kind can boast of this shows Emmy-conversion ratio. This honest and serious portrayal of a single working woman may not have been as heavily nominated comparatively but have managed to win close to fifty percent of them and more than four Emmys per season.

Cheers

Wins— 28

Nominations - 117

Genre: Sitcom

Run: 11 seasons

Year of release: 1982

Network: NBC

Welcome to Boston's favourite bar 'where everybody knows your name' with its forever-80s feel despite it having three seasons in the 90s. It started The Ted Dansen - remember George Costanza's grouse with his payouts in Sinefeld. The cast of this series might have changed frequently but not the quality of its steadfast writing.
