ReplyDeleteI've heard of it. But I didn't watch it. So it wasn't eligible.
DeleteIt won an Emmy for casting in a comedy series though.
I've never watched Family Guy, but I watched Family Ties as a kid and through reruns several years ago on Nick at Nite or some channel like that. I've seen a few episodes of Frasier, just enough to know the general gist of the show but not enough to know details. I watched Friends sporadically during the time it was on, too.
