The Simpsons has been denied best comedy consideration for its entire run - many say the quality has declined, but even in its heyday - I can't see how FG is getting the nomination when this is the short list:
Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, Family Guy, Flight of the Conchords, The Office, Pushing Daisies, 30 Rock, Two and a Half Men, Ugly Betty, and Weeds
And if anyone's interested, the short list for drama:
Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter, Friday Night Lights, Grey's Anatomy, House, Lost, Mad Men, The Tudors, and The Wire.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 9:01amI'd be really bummed if Family Guy were the first animated show to land a nomination for best sitcom after the Simpsons were denied it for so so many years. If they do nominate FG they better give Simpsons a lifetime achievement Emmy that same night.

BOSTON LEGAL is Drama?
Jesus.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 11:39amI think Family is funny, but those other shows are leagues above it in quality

Posted: 6/27/08 at 12:08pmEven the best episodes of Family are nothing compared to best episodes of The Simpsons, I would be really disappointed if they got a nod for best comedy. Esp. with competition like Weeds, The Office, 30 Rock, and Flight of Concords.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 12:47pmWas there a reason The Simpsons has been denied a nomination or just because?

I agree. I love Family Guy, but The Simpsons have much better writing (if not so much now, they certainly did in the first 12 seasons).
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 1:32pmThere wouldn't be FAMILY GUY without THE SIMPSOMS. Oh well.
