Family Guy lands Emmy nomination for Best Comedy Series

"Family Guy" is the first animated program in nearly 50 years to land a best comedy series nomination. The Fox hit is the second series ever to earn the honor, following "The Flintstones" in 1961.

Creator Seth MacFarlane opts to enter "Family Guy" for an outstanding comedy Emmy instead of the animated category where "The Simpsons" and other shows typically compete. "Family Guy" made it to the 10 finalists on the category last year but missed the final cut, and might have been one of the beneficiaries of the TV Academy's decision to expand the number of nominees in the main categories from five to six.
