If It Wins an Emmy, Will Fox Treat it Right?

If Futurama does indeed win an Emmy, do you think Fox will give it more attetntion, by way of a better time slot? Seeing as though everyone agrees that Fox treats it like a third-rate show, it'd be interesting to see how it ends up.

If this is indeed the last season of "The Simpsons", and I hope and pray that it is, then hopefully "Futurama" will be awarded with that slot (seeing that it is an animated show from the warped, yet talented mind of Matt Greoning, and seems to be well received by the majority of Simpsons fans).

Or maybe cancel that insipid "Malcolm in the Middle" and put "Futurama" in "The Simpsons" wake....

Why should "Futurama" win an Emmy? "The Simpsons" never has, not even way back when, when it was good! :(

Excuse me? "The Simpsons" has won SIX Emmys for Outstanding Animated Series/Special in the nine years it's been eligible. (After three years of being told "animated shows aren't eligible for the Outstanding Comedy Series award", the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences changed its mind for the 1993 awards, but after two years of "The Simpsons" not even getting nominated, the producers moved it back to the Animated category, where it's been ever since.)

However, to go back to the original question, my answer is "no" - winning Emmys didn't help "Family Guy" (put on hiatus for nine months) or "The PJs" (moved to WB) any. (Okay, those were "voiceover acting" Emmys, but the trophy is the same, except for the inscription.) As long as Malcolm In The Middle, The Simpsons, and King Of The Hill get better ratings even outside of football season, Fox will consider it its "throwaway" show. The fact that they've scheduled repeats of Malcolm, Simpsons, and That '70s Show on a Wednesday night (where it can't be pre-empted by football) while keeping Futurama in the "we can't guarantee anything until February" Sunday at 7 slot pretty much answers any questions as to what they feel are its better shows.

Yeah--I meant in the regular "comedy" category. And for the record, Ally McBeal shouldn't even COUNT as a comedy--isn't comedy supposed to make you *laugh*???

(said the girl who is proud never to have seen a single one of the nominated dramas!)

Amen, sister. What the hell do they smoke when coming up with that tripe?

That was a very good show, but it made people think and that's not why most people watch TV.

I saw most of them during the short run they had on Comedy Central.

If Futurama doesn't get an Emmy, we can all pitch in $5.00 and buy a couple of Golden Globes.
