Family Guy, Seth Macfarlane Nominated For Emmy’s Best Comedy Series

When you read interviews with Seth Macfarlane, you always get the impression that the guy has a chip on his shoulder, and this chip is fat, yellow and his wife has blue hair.
You get the impression that Seth feels that The Simpsons is Fox’s favorite son, while Family Guy (and American Dad,) is more of an unwanted sibling. And Fox preferring The Simpsons makes a lot of sense for obvious reasons.
But now Mcfarlane has a reason to be proud. Family Guy is only the second animated show to be nominated for an Emmy for best comedy series. No disrespect to the Simpsons, but not even Homer and Marge managed to do so. By the way, the first animated show to be nominated in this category was The Flintstones back in 1961.
The chances that Peter Griffin will actually win the Emmy are slim (have we mentioned 30 Rock yet?) But still, the acknowledgement is also important.
My vote is with “Family Guy.” That show is hilarious!
FG is one of my favorite shows so pretty happy to hear this news.
