For its first season, the Cheers spin-off Frasier won Outstanding Comedy Series and four total major awards.
For the second straight year Picket Fences won Outstanding Drama Series, it too won four major awards, but the more impressive drama series was newcomer NYPD Blue, which took home three major awards.
NYPD Blue set another milestone when it received every nomination for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series, this marked only the ninth time that a show had received every nomination in a category.
The record was maintained for twenty years, until The Normal Heart received nine major nominations in 2014.
Both films won the top prize, but each lost all six of their acting nominations, directing, and writing to other projects.
