Now even the TV Academy is finally recognizing animation as something more than just a cartoon. "Family Guy" broke down that wall this year, scoring the first outstanding comedy Emmy nomination for an animated series since "The Flintstones" in 1961.

"For the talent involved, the writers, the artists, the actors, the animators, it's incredibly gratifying to see them recognized by the people in the Academy," Newman said. "The work they're doing compares with the best live-action comedies now on the air."
