Great article. There’s a lot of good data here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Mac OS X with the up-to-date beta of Firefox, and the look and feel of your blog is kind of quirky for me. I can understand the articles, but the navigation doesn’t function so well.

I think weeds by far is the best out of all of them. Family guy is still running on fumes from the first three seasons that were hilarious, if they deserved an emmy nomination it was couple of years ago.

Thanks for the ass kissing, Ben but I like to do when I not creating comedy gold,is watch How I met your mother(even though ripped it on my show. Jason Segel,& Alyson Hannigan as Marshall&Lilly is Emmy worthy,and Neal Patrick Harris would win all the time if Alec Baldwin was taking all the awards and publicity. Fat F@%K!!!!!

Family Guy is ridiculously funny. Sometimes it annoys me just h ow funny Seth and team are. Also the humour is not limited to America or American in jokes and is extremely popular throughout the English speaking world!

The Simpsons was good. Maybe it still is good, but it was always far more safe than Family Guy which – like most of the best comedy – is not afraid to skirt the edge of what is allowed to be broadcast. I hope it wins, it has improved my life.

As for the haters saying people who like Family Guy are brainwashed, I am guessing they havent watched a couple of episodes, or even one or even a few seconds.

I like it. I like Seth. I’m not going to knock the nod. However, 30 Rock is the funniest show on television. Don’t know if it deserved 22 nominations but it is a great show. Tracy Morgan is ridiculous, Alec Baldwin is lol funny, and Tina Fey is hilarious.

family guy is a show for people who have a sense of humour and are not afraid to laugh at the stupid. i think family is one of the few shows out there that can really make me laugh. i hate all these crap sitcoms that have laughter in the background that tries to tell you something is funny when it’s just another poor joke. family guy makes you listen for the small witty punch lines, which usually make me wet myself lol.

Umm, Family Guy is funny not because someone tells me it’s funny, or without even realizing it, I’m just conforming to the masses. It’s funny because it makes laugh my ass off! As does, for example, Scrubs, Southpark, Steven Colbert, Jon Stewart just to name a few. I’m thinking there maybe be some on here that may have… a bit of a generation gap but that doesn’t mean their not funny. Commie-care? Nice!

I know better than to expect much from you, but sometimes you fail to achieve the bare minimum and those time, those times hurt ben, they hurt

(I’m referring of course to your use of the short “sesh” for session)

Also,

Jamman is either good ol Dichard Renton or an idiot

come to think of it, the two are not mutually excluisive (oh snap!)
