EMMY MEMORIAM 2012 UPDATE (March)

Don Cornelius (Producer/Host)

I would consider Don Cornelius to be a lock for the Emmy Memoriam segment.

Presumably some will be demoted as more people die. The only names I'd
consider completely safe (and I'm admittedly hedging my bets) are
Cates and Morgan. And you can add Andy Rooney.

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0Don Cornelius (Producer/Host)
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0Phillip Bruns (Actor)

Other strong possibilities are Dolores Hope and Zalman King.

I have a list of over 100 names, broken down into Locks, Favorites,
Contenders, Dark Horses and Also-Rans. I'll eventually identify a
dozen Locks and probably two dozen Favorites.

To Scott: I should be shot for overlooking Andy Rooney.

To News: Zalman King is a distinct possibility; I will add him to my
list of "others". Dolores Hope, I personally dont see it.



Sid Melton, Peter Breck, and Alan Sues are locks?
Why are they so worthy and you so sure about them?
Did Davy Jones/The Monkees ever win an Emmy?


Peter Breck had a starring role on "The Big Valley"; Alan Sues is
well known for his time on "Laugh-In". Sid Melton was a prolific character
actor who appeared in a few hundred guest roles. Am I "so" sure? No, but I
believe that all will make it. Peter Breck I can easily remove if too
many more people become "on-topic". Davy Jones/Monkees never won an Emmy to my
knowledge. So what? He's still a lock. I believe that Mickey Dolenz will
be also; not as sure about Nesmith and Tork.

I never mentioned Zalman King, but I guess you wanted to mention him.
The other actors, Hal Kantor, Gil Cates, Leonard Stone, and John Rich
should be cincherinos (w/possible exception of Robert Hegyes--only known for
"Kotter"?), if there is any Emmy justice.

I also knew Breck only from TBV, with Barbara Stanwyck.
Ditto for Sues with L-I, and Sid Melton in "Make Room For Daddy" and
other sitcoms. I just wondered why you thought they were 'locks' when they
weren't top-notch stars. Stanwyck, yes; Breck, not-so-much.
I think you might reconsider Michael Nesmith (hopefully not anytime
soon on-topic), as he was a good composer of many songs, both with The
Monkees and then solo.
I don't know what else Tork did, and Dolenz is another 'teen idol'
and played in tv's "Circus Boy" in 1956, a decade before his Monkee days.

Not to downplay the merits of any of them, but Jones had a much bigger
impact on popular culture and never left the public consciousness.
Compare the reaction to their deaths.

In any event, most deserving and most likely are two different
categories.
