Does anyone know what shows have won best drama/comedy and best actor and actress in the same year? 30 Rock did it last year, but have there been any others?

"The Dick Van Dyke Show" did it twice, in 1964 and in 1966. Has any other show done it more than just once?

I don't know why I didn't just look at Wikipedia in the first place, since they have the winners up there:

It seems that All in the Family and Dick Van Dyke are the only ones to repeat, though 30 Rock will probably join them this year. I'm surprised that it's only been done once in drama.

Great question, joesmith!

And seeing how far back all the answers are going, it makes 30 Rock's three big wins last year so much more significant.
