WooHoo! Congrats!

The original Star Trek television series aired on NBC for only three seasons, from September 1966 to June 1969. It was fresh, prescient, and so ahead of its time that it couldn’t quite capture the mainstream audience required for hits during a particularly insipid time in television. But fast forward nearly 60 years (perhaps through a space-time anomaly), and creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision is alive and well, having spawned a media franchise of 13 feature films, 11 television series, and numerous books and comics, with a legendary fan following. Today Star Trek is more vibrant, imaginative, funny, entertaining, and progressive than ever.

For its enduring dedication to storytelling that projects the best of humanity into the distant future, the Star Trek franchise is honored with the Peabody Institutional Award.

Before this only TNG and Discovery were nominated for a Peabody. TNG won. Congratulations Trek.

I'm in England and with the name "Peabody" I vaguely heard of it, but always thought this was some kind of award for kids.

I thought it was for excellence in time travel and the prize was a dog.

A very prestigious award for TV, awarded to news, documentaries, and yes TV shows. Both TNG and Discovery deservedly nominated in their first seasons.
