Playing the Emmy comedy series winners timeline

This deck lines up the shows that won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, sorted by the ceremony year of each one's first win. Under every title is the network or streaming service that aired it. The game puts one winner down for you, year showing, to anchor the line. Then read each new title and choose where it slots among the winners already placed. If you've got it right, the year shows up. If you haven't, the show is moved to its rightful place, and one of your three lives goes with it.

From variety-show stars and early domestic comedies through the workplace sitcoms and single-camera mockumentaries to the streaming hits, the deck traces how TV comedy changed. Repeat winners are dated by their first trophy only, and some long-running favorites won late in their runs, so a show's debut can mislead you by several seasons. The network line separates eras fairly well, since cable and streaming names only turn up toward the end. The hardest stretch is the run of broadcast sitcoms in the middle, when the same few networks won again and again.
