Last night, the Emmy Awards honored the best work in prime-time television. Viola Davis, John Hamm, Jeffrey Tambor and Julia Louis-Dreyfus were among last night's award-winners; meanwhile, Andy Samberg is receiving accolades for his work as host of the awards program.

As the Emmy Awards are providing plenty of good fodder for conversations around coffeepots and water coolers this morning, let's continue the discussion of television with a playlist that reflects that.
