'The Good Place' Boss Mike Schur Defends Network TV vs. Netflix and Laments the "Uneven Playing Field" at the Emmys

hollywoodreporter.com:

Mike Schur says he'll miss going to the Emmys this year, but the creator and showrunner of best comedy nominee The Good Place looks at the awards more as a barometer of the industry's collective taste than a big party. "I'm interested to see what the collection of thousands of people who work in the industry feel is the best work.

I disagree with a lot, and I agree with it sometimes, so when you take it that way, it doesn't really matter to me if it's in person or over Zoom or whatever," Schur tells THR. "To me, it's a kind of check-in of, 'What did everyone like this year?

What did everyone think was worthy of a gold star?' So it's a little bit of a bummer that you can't get all dressed up and go have a big party, but I always think of it.
