There's a certain possessiveness of writers sometimes.

Writers are not always right however, but then again, I've been on shows where the actors have complete control and change everything and it's terrible.

Ultimately the Emmys are a popularity contest.

Even though shows like NYPD Blue are soaps in my opinion, but they're individualized to an extent that you can still follow what's going on if you miss a week.
