Family Guy going for the Best Comedy Emmy

According to a report in Variety, Family Guy will be going for the Best Comedy Emmy category, traditionally occupied by sitcoms. Here’s what Seth MacFarlane had to say:

“We don’t produce our show the that way SpongeBob does,” MacFarlane told Variety. “We’re much more analogous to traditional sitcoms. Our writers don’t come from animation; they come from comedies. I hear people all the time tell me that they love The Office, 30 Rock, and our show. Then why are we not all competing in the same world?”

Family Guy will be going up against shows such as “The Office” and “30 Rock”; this didn’t work for him last year, and I’m not sure it will this year, with how this season went.
