‘ABBOTT ELEMENTARY’

ABBOTT ELEMENTARY,” starring and created by Quinta Brunson, above, leads this category by a solid margin in the weighted rankings over a field including two past winners. It’s a freshman series. And, perhaps most remarkably, it’s a network show. No network show has won this category since “Modern Family’s” run of dominance ended in 2014. But “Abbott” is still no sure bet. The competition is fierce, notes panelist Glenn Whipp: “This is one of the best comedy classes in Emmy history.” You can find our panelists’ picks in multiple races at latimes.com/buzzmeter, and vote in our weekly polls.
