TV URBAN LEGEND<\/span><\/u>: The first two Emmy Awards for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series went to Robert Young for Father Knows Best.<\/p>\n

Over the years, there have been some debate when it comes time for the Emmy Awards nominations as to what category various shows belong in.<\/p>\n

For instance, was Ugly Betty a comedy or a drama with comedic elements? Was Ally McBeal a comedy or a drama with comedic elements? Same with Desperate Housewives and Glee. Those four shows all were nominated as comedy series – there really does not seem to be as much of the same problem on the drama side of things (although one could argue that Boston Legal would apply).<\/p>\n

However, there certainly was a bit of an issue for the very first two Emmy Awards given out for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series.<\/p>\n

The award was given to…Robert Young?!!?

\nYes, Robert Young, star of Father Knows Best…<\/p>\n
