Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane both animated for an Emmy!

Whoa, now this was a big surprise! Family Guy has been nominated for an Emmy in the category for comedy – not the Animated category it’s traditionally been. This is the first time an animated show has snagged a Comedy nod since the Flintstones in 1961!

Entourage – HBO

Weeds – Showtime

How I Met Your Mother – CBS

Flight Of The Conchords – HBO

30 Rock – NBC

The Office – NBC
