Geek Trivia: What is the only major Emmy award the Star Trek franchise ever won?

The Emmy's and the Academy Awards have a history of not likeing popular sci fi. They dont mind them getting nominations, but they wont let them actually win the awards.

When Nichelle Nichols was intending to leave Star Trek after its first season, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. convinced her that she had to stay, and that her role on the show was too important to give up:

That goes far beyond the value of an Emmy, in my opinion.

Welcome to the result of the dumbing down of the US.

Where did that come from?

The episode "The Inner Light" to me was a very powerful story. Stewart gave a strong performance, the story line was mysterious for most of the time and gave meaning to what is existence and what is important to why we are alive. The ending had a somber but an uplifting touch. Just my opinion, but it is better then most shows that get awards.
