Fox Television, UPN and The WB might have been working hard to get some kind of major Emmy nomination for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," but "Angel" executive producer David Greenwalt said there is much more to television production than awards.

He said that the "Buffy" musical episode, "Once More With Feeling," should have been considered, however, by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

"(Joss) Whedon wrote and directed one of the best pieces of television in the last 10 years," Greenwalt said. "Let me say the last half-dozen years. But unfortunately, his assistant forgot to put in for the Emmys. He did get nominated once. Those are shows with young people and those are shows that fly under the Emmy radar. And also, genre shows.

"It's very difficult for a show called 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' or shows with people in rubber masks for the people in the Emmys to understand the caliber of writing and directing, etc., going on. Don't get me wrong. I would trade an appendage to have one. I want one badly. But it shouldn't be the point of what you're doing."
