I never understood the hype it had/has going. Medieval stuff isn't my cup of tea on the other hand. I strongly turn my back on it every time I stumble upon "Knights and princesses" fests or any other comparable undertaking... Yuck!

And with Got there are a crazy huge lot of people going "you should watch it, I'm sure you'll get hooked" to which I usually answer "have you seen Twin Peaks?" which usually ends in "no," me going "well then I'm definitely NOT watching GoT, f**k you! It seems you didn't get my point at all."


And pardon my french, but most people's viewing habits nowadays really grind my gears.


Therefore, I'd appreciate Peaks receiving awards and a positive acclaim, but seeing how scarcely recognized it usually is amongst non-Lynch-fans, I suppose Showtime are in for an adventure.

At least it'll make us geeks happy, but I expect nothing too big when it comes to praise from the outside world.

TP and GoT are not going to compete on the same category. TP fits in the limited series slot

Definition of "Series" and "Limited Series": "Mini-Series" will be changed to "Limited Series" and defined as programs of two or more episodes with a total running time of at least 150 program minutes that tell a complete, non-recurring story, and do not have an ongoing storyline and/or main characters in subsequent seasons. "Comedy" and "Drama" Series will continue to be defined as programs with a minimum of six episodes which have an ongoing storyline, theme and main characters presented under the same title and with continuity of production supervision.  Any narrative series with at least two but no more than five episodes will be considered a "Limited Series."

Producers may formally petition for review by the aforementioned industry panel to change category eligibility.

dkenny78 wrote:Regarding TWIN PEAKS's chance of winning Emmys, I agree, it's a bit premature to determine, but the playing field appears to be a bit more level in the Limited Series category this year. We're about three months away from the cutoff date for Emmy submission, and there's hardly anything that really jumps out.

FARGO will almost certainly be back, but the second season of AMERICAN CRIME STORY won't premiere until 2018, so that will be out of the running (though Ryan Murphy's new anthology series FEUD might take its place - buzz is already pretty good). What other miniseries/limited series have aired in the past 9 months? THE YOUNG POPE? AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ROANOKE? Nobody seemed to be over the moon about either of those. Am I missing anything?

14d. Hanging episodes/parts eligibility for limited series: If the majority of the total running time of the episodes/parts of a limited series airs within the current eligibility year and has one or more episodes/parts that fall into the subsequent eligibility year, the "hanging episodes/parts" that are in a contiguous rollout on the same distribution platform join in eligibility the already-qualified-as-eligible episodes/parts of the limited series, as long as the complete limited series is broadcast prior to the return of the first round ballots.

for example, a comedy series that regularly airs on a weekly basis that has six episodes in the 2016 eligibility year and has two more episodes of its series season airing subsequently and on the same platform in the 2017 eligibility year would enter all eight episodes in 2016 eligibility. On the other hand, a comedyseries that has two episodes in the 2016 eligibility year and six more episodes airing subsequently on the same platform in the 2017 eligibility year would enter the eight episodes only in 2017. They would not be allowed to "sneak" the six episodes, e.g., post them on the internet or air them in an obscure time spot, in order to qualify the series in 2017.

This are the rules as of 2015 :

Definition of "Series" and "Limited Series": "Mini-Series" will be changed to "Limited Series" and defined as programs of two or more episodes with a total running time of at least 150 program minutes that tell a complete, non-recurring story, and do not have an ongoing storyline and/or main characters in subsequent seasons.

I guess it'll depend on what they'll submit it as.

How does that not apply to TP?

It's a continuation of the original one way or the other so it depends whether the new season will count as a subsequent season to the first 2, the characters and storylines certainly are ongoing and recurring. It's longer than 5 episodes so it's not guaranteed to fall under the limited definition.
The way I understand it it could fall under either category, but fits in drama very comfortably while it bends the rules of limited a little.
