 Abstract (Document Summary)

That's how the cast and producers of NBC's "Frasier" characterized making Emmy history Sunday night by winning a fifth consecutive award as television's best comedy series, the most ever won by any sitcom or drama series.

The historic win came on a night when Helen Hunt became the only actress to win an Emmy and an Oscar in the same year (for "Mad About You" and "As Good as It Gets"), and a low-profile series about a struggling law firm, ABC's "The Practice," beat out seasoned and more popular veterans such as "ER," "NYPD Blue" and last year's winner, "Law & Order."

Helen Hunt, star of NBC's "Mad About You," stood before the press with yet another statuette, this one her third Emmy as best actress in a comedy series. The Emmy comes on the heels of her best actress Oscar this year for "As Good as It Gets."
