Winners Get Happy at the TV Guide Awards (Excerpt)


TV Guide - March 6, 2000

By Jonathan Reiner

They like you... they really like you! The gracious winners at Sunday night's TV Guide Awards went out of their way to thank you, the fans, for participating in the awards process and supporting them.

Tyne Daly, unofficial spokeswoman for the Judging Amy cast, took a jab at the press while applauding the viewers for recognizing her ensemble show. "The audience caught on and appreciated us immediately, despite what the critics were saying. We were thought of as a clone of Providence and that's not true, and the audience knows that. And they picked quality tonight."

Does Daly, a veteran of quality shows like Christy and Cagney & Lacey, think TV has turned a corner and might be tiring of low-brow or teen-oriented fare? "I don't make a study of television as my livelihood," she explained. "I'm an actor. Ask me questions about how the business works and I have no idea!"
