while i am disappointed that generation loss didn't get an emmy, it's still crazy that it was considered. Like this is the passion project of a 19 yr old who has never made a movie or show or anything before. He hired people to make this full production, PERFORMED IT LIVE, and everyone killed it. While i'm sad that the emmy's didn't nominate it, they're beginning work on the next part of generation loss and with their new experience and practice, I'm sure they might have a good chance of a nomination then.

One thing impressive about SCTV: at the 1983 Emmy's, they swept one category. For Best Writing In a Variety Or Music Program, there were only 5 options. All 5 nominees were different episodes of SCTV. That's incredibly impressive. They were their own competition! Not even SNL had that distinction! Just shows which show is better, in my honest opinion. SCTV is much better (or at least it felt more consistent).
