There were two main reasons for the "Family Guy" producers have decided to go for a run play. First of all, they believed the process of writing the series Family Guy was closer than the traditional comedies (as opposed to cartoons for children). Second, tell the truth: "Family Guy" did not fare class entertainment Emmys during its first decade, however.It had been nominated only four times and never won.

Not taking defeat to heart, "Family Guy" returns to the battle for top comedy series of 2011. If nominated, it plans to submit these five episodes of Family Guy to Emmy judges. It will submit five instead of the usual six because its one-hour Christmas episode counts as two submissions.
