RE: Family Guy's Emmy - my issue with it would not be so much that I don't like the show, though there are plenty of comedies I'd nominate ahead of it

But for it to be the second animated series to get a best comedy nod when they ignored the Simpsons for two decades? That's "Jethro Tull winning a best Metal Grammy" right there.

equal screwing all around? fixing the issue rather than prolonging it is commendable, isn't it? -- nm - Max Jul 17, 10:51
Family Guy was funny the first two seasons. - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 10:47 2

- Side comment: I am wholeheartedly satisfied that I've started a multiboard outrage-fest with my one post. On this topic. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 10:49
Again... The Simpsons has not been ignored, the producers submit it for consideration in the Animated category, not for Best Comedy. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 17, 10:40 9
- Irrelevant. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 10:42 8
  - A show can't be nominated in a category it hasn't been submitted for. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 17, 10:43 7
    - Frankly...that's kinda stupid. Does someone really have to send in a piece of paper to say, "Hey, we'd like Emmy consideration?" - Jim Jul 17, 10:47 4
      - Pretty much, yes. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 17, 10:57
      - Yes, and even dumber is that the producers submit very specific episodes. So, for example, - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:49 2
        
        It makes sense somewhat - after all, voters could never watch every episode of every show under consideration. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 17, 10:57 1
        
        I agree somewhat; on the otherhand to make a comparison, certainly the vast majority of Oscar voters don't see anywhere near all films each year. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 11:00
    - it's been submitted in the past and ignored. (And often did not even win Best Animated) -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 10:46
    - CT wins. -- nm - Todd Manning Jul 17, 10:46
This is my sentiment exactly. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 17, 10:40
But Family Guy is funnier than The Simp....oh, nevermind. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 17, 10:39 2
- I agree!!! Family Guy bringz the lolz!! -- nm - nickfudge Jul 17, 10:40 1
  - I give it an A+! -- nm - bery Jul 17, 10:43
