Seth MacFarlane Has Stewie Throwing a Lot of Punches For Family Guy

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has created his very own YouTube channel to beg the question: Where's My Emmy?.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has created his very own YouTube channel to beg the question: Where's My Emmy?. (First of all, Seth, this is the first time Family Guy has been nominated for best comedy series, so take it easy). Anyway, the website has been rolling out video clips showing Stewie and Brian arguing over the nominees for best comedy series, taking digs at each of the shows. The videos are basically exactly the same except for some of the dialogue particular to each nominated series, and they're so heavy on cartoon violence that they actually make me cringe more than laugh.

Check 'em out below and tell me what you think!

Would You Prefer an Edited Version of the Emmys?

There's been some deliberation in the entertainment world about the length of next month's Emmy awards.

There's been some deliberation in the entertainment world about the length of next month's Emmy awards. The Academy of TV Arts and Sciences initially decided to prerecord eight of the 28 acceptance speeches ahead of time, then air edited versions during the live show. Apparently there was some backlash this week, and the decision was reversed, meaning the show will either be longer than ever, or the producers will cut back on some of the fun stuff — like Neil Patrick Harris's monologue and TV clip montages.

Now that the pros have spoken in favor of keeping the show untouched, I'm wondering how the viewers feel. Would you prefer an edited-down Emmys show?

Snap Judgment: The Emmy Comedy Nominations

I've gone on about the Emmy nominees in the dramatic categories, now I've gotta share my reactions to the comedic nominees.

I've gone on about the Emmy nominees in the dramatic categories, now I've gotta share my reactions to the comedic nominees. There's so much to talk about with these categories! I have to say I was rather surprised by several of the nominations — in both good and bad ways. Check out my thoughts below . . .

  • Seven entries in the Outstanding Comedy Series category? And not one of them is Two and a Half Men?! And one of them is How I Met Your Mother?!? What is it, my birthday?
  • Does it make me a mean person if I say I'm happy and relieved to see that Jeremy Piven was not nominated? Nah, don't answer that. I don't really want to know.
  • And I'm even happier for the two Supporting Actor nods for 30 Rock: Tracy Morgan and Jack McBrayer!
