Daytime_Emmy_Award_for_Outstanding_Special_Class_Series Knowpia

The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Class Series is an Emmy award given to television programs that do not "fall into other established categories."^[1] Prior to 2000, the category was referred to as Special Class Program and both series and specials competed in the same category.
