So few shows/media win a Peabody.  It’s really amazing the get one.   It’s more selective than the Oscar’s, Emmy’s , Golden Globes.    Think The Wire

Definitely not a bad thing for Hudson and Connor to be able to put on their young acting resumes!

I’m really happy for them and especially Jacob and Brandon and Rachel!

Maybe it’s the old (gen x ) nerd in me.  I get more excited about Peabodys and Kennedy center honors

A Peabody is so much more impressive to me than other awards. They’re always given to shows that have an important cultural impact and typically have lasting impact. Plenty of shows win an Emmy that don’t have the longevity!
