Family Guy Nominated for Best Comedy Emmy

[EliSnow]

First time in 48 years that an animated show gets nominated (http://awards.tv.yahoo.com/blog/4-emmy-noms-surprises-snubs-and-a-few-actual-good-choices)for Best Comedy.

[Furtherman]

Mojo just bleched.

Fucking bastards. The Simpsons may be complete shit these days but it still deserves a nom since they ignored it when it was the best thing on TV. I won't even mention South Park which dwarfs both shows these days.

[TheGameHHH]

They snubbed my girlfriend Anna Paquin, bastards!

[Aggie]

I hope Flight of the Conchords beats it.

[El Mudo]

Gawker's reaction to it was hysterical (http://gawker.com/5316053/really-fucking-family-guy?skyline=true&s=x)

[King Hippos Bandaid]

meh


Simpsons > Family Guy

[hammersavage]

I hope Flight of the Conchords beats it.

I thought you liked Conchords. Why would you want it gone?

[Moe Lester]

family guy is weak nowadays. south park rules

[BinaryTaoist]

I guess beating a dead horse and having plots that seem more like examples of 'stream of consciousness' is whats considered 'best comedy' these days...

That episode of South Park in which it was revealed that scripts for the shows are written by having manatees randomly pluck balls out of a pool probably was about as brutal a slam on one show by another as I've ever seen.

It was just so dead on that I've never been able to watch Family Guy the same way again.

i'm not a family guy fan, but looking over the Emmys list its one of the most satisfied i ever been with the nominations. I think its cuz there is so much more cable programming and i like that they are looking over animated series to cross over to be the best comedy series (although i do think South Park shouldve been there instead..especially for the Kanye West episode).

But there is some great nominations. I knew "Breaking Bad" would get a best show and actor, but glad that Jesse Pinkman got a best supporting actor nom..he rules. Louie CK is nominated for "Chewed Up", Sarah Silverman is nominated for best comedy actress. Pretty cool. I also liked them nominated Tracy Morgan for best supporting actor, he is hilarious on "30 Rock" but i thought snooty emmy voters would pass him over

Simpsons > Family Guy

I love Family Guy, but I couldn't agree more. If I had to choose, Simpsons would win hands down.

[mikeyboy]

Ugh. Why?

Simpsons > Family Guy

Simpsons 10 years ago > Family Guy > Simpsons today

[Fallon]

This is more absurd then the time I went to Melrose Place.

[hanso]

Do ani shows ever win?
Oops just read the top.
They always get the snub.
Too bad those show are all I watch for the most part.
Outside of something like the soup, atos, or some viral video show.

[razorboy]

Simpsons > Family Guy

Lethal injection > Guillotine.

[Slumbag]

Dude, I just looked at the nominees.
It's against Weeds, Entourage, and The Office. ALL of those shows should have ended at least two years ago (I watched The Office the other day, and it may be the worst show ever).

So I guess it's just the age of shitty TV that we live in.

i actually hated the show "Weeds" til last season when they changed the show around. But I agree that "Entourage" and "The Office" is unbearable these days

[TheMojoPin]

South Park>Simpsons 10 years ago

Yeah, no.

The Simpsons 10-15 years ago is pretty much better than anything ever.

[Reynolds]

Yeah, no.

The Simpsons 10-15 years ago is pretty much better than anything ever.

It's close, but I'm still going South Park
