The Ack Attack!

“What are you gonna make me do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? ‘Cause I’m married.”

– Peter Griffin, Family Guy

“So, is there any tread left on the tires? Or at this point would it be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?”

– Stewie Griffin, Family Guy

“You’re drunk.”

“You’re sexy.”

I’m coming out of my mid-summer fandom hibernation to say a quick “congrats” to all my favorite shows that scored Emmy nominations this morning.

Lost was nominated for 7 Emmys, including Best Drama Series (!!!), Best Cinematography, and Best Supporting Actor for Michael Emerson, which is MUCh deserved.

The Office was nominated for 8 Emmys, including Best Comedy Series, Best Actor (Steve Carell), Best Supporting Actor (Rainn Wilson), and a slew of writing and directing Emmys.

And *gasp* BATTLESTAR GALACTICA was nominated for 5 Emmys, including Best Writing, Best Special Effects, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing!!!

30 Rock got a crazy 17 nominations for pretty much everything ever! Including Will Arnett for Best Guest Actor!

Flight of the Conchords were nominated for 2 of their songs, Dexter is nominated for Best Drama Series, Family Guy was nominated for Blue Harvest, Extras got 6 noms, including one for Ricky Gervais, The Daily Show and Colbert got their usual nods…

Altogether not too disappointing (although a writing nomination for Lost, or an acting nom or the *unthinkable* – a Best Drama Series for BSG would have been frakking awesome) But hell, even Supernatural got a nomination.

You can see the full list of Emmy nominations HERE.

I knew I had good taste in TV.

Amazon’s got The Family Guy Freakin’ Party Pack on sale for $59.99 today!!! It’s all 5 seasons, and it’s usually $149.

I just ordered one for myself. VICTORY IS MINE.
