On April 20th, 1973, the 25th
Annual Emmy Awards celebrated television’s best work for the previous season. That
day The Los Angeles Times headlined
the Emmy story with the fact that The
Julie Andrews Hour and The Waltons were
the leaders in this “Emmy Race.”
The
Waltons, a wholesome series about a real family of the
Depression area starring Richard Thomas, came in first with 12 nominations.
No one involved with The Julie Andrews Hour was quite sure what to expect. The Times stated that while Julie’s show
opened with “fanfare and critical favor,” it had never been able “to climb out
of the bottom ratings.”
That night, as the awards for The Julie Andrews Hour
began to pile up, producers Nick Vanoff
and Bill Harbach were estatic. Last year, Mr. Harbach sent me a copy of a photo he
and Nick had taken after the awards ceremony.
