seth macfarlane has done it again! it appears that breaking records with his hit animated series ‘family guy’ is just an everyday occurrence for the talented writer.

back in 2008 macfarlane inked a $100 million deal with fox to keep him doing what he does best – being funny with ’family guy’ - until 2012. no other animator has ever enjoyed such success. let’s face it, ‘family guy’ is a hilarious goldmine.

and apparently it isn’t just the show’s millions of fans that think so! today, emmy nominations were revealed for the september 20th award ceremony. and whaddya know, the show came up big. ‘family guy’ was nominated in a quite prestigious category – outstanding comedy series! in the history of the emmy awards, there has only been one other animated series nominated in this cateogry (hanna-barbera’s ‘the flintstones’ in 1961).

while i have been a loyal fan of the show for quite some time, they are up against some pretty heavy hitters. other nominated comedy series are ‘entourage,’ ‘flight of the conchords,’ ‘how i met your mother,’ ‘the office,’ ’30 rock,’ & ‘weeds.’ i must say i am so over ’30 rock’ taking home all the tv comedy awards. this year, i’m rooting for a griffin family victory! go ‘family guy!’
