Each year, the Emmy Awards celebrate television’s best and brightest. As the 2014 Emmys show quickly approaches, it’s time to take a trip down memory lane. From the very first broadcast from Los Angeles, in 1949, to Bill Cosby’s historical win, in 1966, the Emmys makes for a night to remember, celebrating shows like “I Love Lucy,” “The Sopranos” and everything in between.
