You only want to watch an ep of Ginger once, after that it's boring. Although, I think I know that ep, and it's good, i think. I don't watch Disney and I know that Kim thing is on it. No chance to beat Futurama. Never saw this Simpsons, but Futurama could beat it. Haha, funny Spongebob eps, but still, I don't think it can win. It's the closest I think, because Spongebob also has good animation. Still, Jurassic Bark is funny and sad. I'll expect Jurassic Bark to win. How does it work? Do they like watch the eps and decide? Well, good luck to all of those peeps mentioned!

I don't see how any of those could beat Jurassic bark. The only one of those three i've seen is the Simpsons...and that episode really sucked. so there's no doubt in my mind That Futurama will win.

They have no shame. But! It's funny that all the non-Groening shows are crappy kiddie shows. In your face, King of the Hill! I hope Futurama wins, and I'd like to think it has a shot, but I don't know. Winning twice in a row would be kinda crazy. I don't know if the emmy voters have it in them.

By Goac: How many times have Simpsons won? Wasn't it three times? They've won a million times--but they are The Simpsons. I haven't seen any other show beat The Simpsons more than once. King of the Hill got one emmy, and then nothing. By Chump: Erg. That episode was annoying. Homer and Marge have *another* fight, he leaves the house, moves into the gay district, has a semi-homosexual experience, and Weird Al shows up for no reason to sing a not that good song (I really expected better from him). Sounds like typical Simpsons. And I will point out that the song was written by the Simpsons writers, not Weird Al. By Damitol: My biggest fear is that some voters will not watch the screeners provided, and vote based on who's name they have heard more. Well, Futurama won last year--so I doubt they're going on name recognition. But even if they were, with the recent success on Cartoon Network, it wouldn't be totally shocking for Futurama to win.

Originally posted by grunka_lunka: was futurama nominated for any other "non-important" awards? (i.e. voice acting, technical stuff, etc.) Futurama didn't get any other nominations, but aside from music- and sound-related categories, I don't think cartoons are ever nominated for writing or other minor technical awards. I remember a few years ago there was a push to get The Simpsons nominated for Best Comedy Series (this was back when the show was actually good), but nothing happened. Can't have those cartoons polluting our wonderful live-action programming! And as I understand, the Voice Over category is non-competitive, they just give it to someone. It's previously been won by The Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill, and The PJs, so maybe it's Futurama's turn. I'd like to see Katey Sagal get it for "The Sting."

Woo hoo! Another Emmy nomination! Of all the nominees, Futurama is the most deserving and has the best shot, in my opinion. I've seen that episode of "As Told By Ginger", and it's not great. "Hello Stranger" is probably the best episode of the show and I think it won an Emmy. I don't think I've seen that episode of "Kim Possible", but the show doesn't have wide appeal like the other nominees, so I doubt it'll win. The "Simpsons" episode was really, really, really lame. If it wins, the mustard seed of faith I have in the voting panel will have completely vanished. As for "Spongebob"- honestly, how much of that show can you take? Ten seconds is enough for me, which is why I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell for this episode. If the judges actually watch the nominees, I'm sure Futurama will come out on top. It's a wonderful episode and worthy of recognition.

It looks like a slam-dunk for Futurama. Jurassic Bark is one of Futurama's finest episodes. Of course, when it comes to awards, all bets are off. My thoughts on the competition:
As Told By Ginger - not a bad example of the adolescent, coming of age, touchy-feely genre. Not a personal favorite, since I'm not into the whole junior high angst thing (been there, done that, got the scars).
Simpsons - a serious contender, if only due to past success, but clearly past its prime. This episode is nowhere near the series' best efforts.
Kim Possible - I think this will provide the biggest challenge. This new Disney series is quite good and has made some waves in the business. It is a keystone of Disney's girl-oriented programming.
SpongeBob SquarePants - definitely different, this program has undeniable charm. Part of me likes it, and part of me doesn't understand it at all.

Maybe the emmy people just like gay people or something, how else do you explain the fact that will and grace got so many nominations?

Sometimes what looks like a sure thing turns out not to be. I hold no expectations. I'm just glad it was nominated.

I dont know the simpsons episode (to be honest I dont really watch the new eps that often), but judging from the synopsis, if it puts gays in a positive light than it might win on that, you know supporting the community.
I have never heard of "As told by ginger", and from what I have seen of spongebob years ago, that show has barely 2 brain cells to rub together.
Hmm, I think it will be close between futurama and the simpsons.
Whats the idea behind "As told by Ginger" whats it about?

Sponge bob is pretty cool. Its hard to explain wut the charm of it is but it is pretty clever at times, despite wut some people may think.
