Family Guy going for TWO Emmy categories
June 2, 2008 by Wendy Boswell
In an interesting and never before done move, the folks at Family Guy have put the animated show up in two different Emmy categories: the live-action, half-hour comedy category, and the animation category.
This hasn’t been done before, but they got away with it because of the Blue Harvest animated special. Basically, this would put them both in the animated category AND the live-action half-hour comedy category, according to the Emmy rules, and would put them not only against the Simpsons, but also The Office and My Name Is Earl.
My opinion? It’s too much. They could possibly grab a win in the Animation category, but there is NO WAY they are going to win against The Office. What do you think?
Agreed. Of all animated series, I really think Family Guy is the most clever and funny. I haven’t ever watched The Office, but really liked My Name Is Earl, and I think that has quite a better chance in this kind of competition.
