NBC turns 100 this year. A century of television, and its birthday present to itself is the Emmys, a Wednesday NFL game, and a network deal that might expire. Even at 100, NBC's on a one-year contract.

The Pitt leads the Emmys with 25 nominations. It's a show about an ER where nobody gets paid enough and everyone dies on a schedule. The Academy loves a documentary.

The Pitt won big at the Emmys for a show about an ER where nobody's paid enough and everyone dies on schedule. The nurses who inspired it watched on their break. They get one. Fifteen minutes. The show runs an hour.
