Wow, poor Mercy. Her new mom can't even go get her, and her first experience in in a strange land is a Kabbalah meeting? Where the hell is Social Services?
Didn't you see the video of Hilton and Ronaldo taken through her kitchen window? They weren't just talking, they were completely ingnoring each other. You didn't see the part when Paris grabs a pint of mocha ice cream out of the fridge and goes to bed?
As anyone who has read Richard's recaps knows, the real crime here is that Richard does not have a TV deal. Although, maybe you're too good for TV Richard. I'm hoping you're working on that Crackerjacks novel...
The putrification of primetime laugh tracks known as Two and a Half Men--which isn't worth 2-1/2 laughs per season from my perspective--has been nominated for Best Comedy Series alongside The Office and 30Rock in recent years past...yes, that's YEARS as in more than one! Family Guy would be in a totally different category, and IMHO, deserving of some recognition.
Seth MacFarlane's troupe is spinning off 2 other series, and doing a lot of press lately promoting these projects, which probably explains the submission for consideration. Their brand of comedy isn't for everyone, but it hasn't been that long ago when the bashing was about how The Simpsons was too edgy for network primetime.
But it IS weird how animated prime time shows are put in their own category--including brilliance like THE SIMPSONS at its height--and then they don't even get to go to the the "REAL" Emmys. If you work on an animated show you go to the shittier Emmys the week before (the year I went it was in Pasadena and there were about 10 screaming fans and Tom Sellick was the big celeb of the evening.) You are with the technical awards that no one cares about. And maybe you get to sit near James Lipton.
I haven't watched enough episodes of Family Guy to appreciate that all the parts of it that are not funny are intentionally not funny in an ironic sort of way. To me they just seem not very funny.
