'Family Guy' Makes Desperate Plea For An Emmy Nomination - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 05-26-2011, 09:34 AM

For years, Family Guy producers had been asking for, sometimes even demanding Academy votes in the show's Emmy mailers. They've now switched to begging. Following Stewie's turn as President Obama under the Vote For Change! slogan in the 2009 mailer and Peter Griffin's cover boy stint last year as the girl from Precious with the motto Vote For Us Or You're Racist, it's Stewie in the spotlight again. But gone is the cockiness, as the sad-looking prodigy is staring at the spider web-filled Family Guy trophy case.

Now in its ninth season, Family Guy is yet to win a best series Emmy. It was nominated 4 times for best animated series and once, in 2009, for best comedy series. That year, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane famously pulled the show from the animation field to go against its live-action brethren in the top comedy series category. It worked, as Family Guy in 2009 became the first animated series in 48 years to nab a best comedy series nomination. The previous series to accomplish that was non other than The Flintstones, the Hanna-Barbera classic that MacFarlane is rebooting for a 2013 launch.
