It's no surprise that Family Guy has never won an Emmy. If it ever did, the people who voted for it probably wouldn't be able to look themselves in the mirror the next morning.
It doesn't fit the criteria. It's not snobby, it doesn't have a deep social message to convey, and it lacks diversity.
But that doesn't matter to Peter. He wants the show to win an Emmy anyway and on Family Guy Season 16 Episode 1 he tries to fit the show into a mold it will never be able to conform to.
Family Guy shouldn't complain too much. Though it hasn't been nominated as a show since 2009, it has won in other categories, most notably for Best Voice-Over Performance which Seth MacFarlane won again this year (that makes four for him).
Still, the Emmys are a funny thing. Most of the shows that win, I've never seen, and those I have seen don't hold my interest. I can't connect with them which probably means I'm a low cog on the totem pole of life and especially so since I find great pleasure in watching a show like Family Guy.
Like Peter says, it's the same shows that win over and over again. It's boring and still doesn't compel me to watch any of those shows.
The ethnic characters on these Emmy-winning shows aren't exactly rocket scientists are they?
Peter
But the Emmy is a prestigious award that looks good on your resume and on your living room shelf. And Peter wants one of them, so he comes up with a plan to copy award-winning shows to try and win one.
It takes on Modern Family (bringing in Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, and Sofia Vergara to guest voice) going so far as to show how ridiculous the award process is when Burrell is handed an Emmy for doing nothing but choking a rubber chicken.
It's great that some of the cast was willing to poke fun at themselves and their show.
This Emmy thing goes deep. The same people win year after year after year. It's like there's some kinda secret society that takes all the awards and is keeping us from getting one.
Peter
Though Family Guy didn't try to do an episode The Big Bang Theory style, I loved that it made the list. Chris playing Sheldon had me rolling. If you guys only knew how much I hate that show, you'd understand why I was so giddy to see it ripped apart in the way only Family Guy can do it.
I mean, what is the deal with people loving that show so much? I don't get it.
Peter goes through the gamut of Emmy-award winning shows to try to win the show the award but to no avail. He's finally contacted by Bill Maher (guest voiced by the man himself) who tells him about a secret society that is basically blacklisting Family Guy from ever getting a golden statue.
When he gets home he finds members of this secret society, including Alec Baldwin and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, in his living room who tell him Family Guy is garbage. Shonda Rhimes tells him the show lacks diversity, and Aaron Sorkin says the show is the king of rip-offs and attempts to explain what "real" writing is.
Peter will never be part of the club, and isn't that what the Emmys are all about anyway? Being part of some exclusive club that only certain people can get into?
Isn't that going against everything the Emmys are supposed to represent? Where's the diversity when the same shows win over and over and over again?
And why do we have to be force-fed on what's a good show and what isn't? Don't we get enough of that with critics who tell us a show sucks when in actuality it's pretty darn good (e.g., The Orville)?
Speaking of diversity (way back a couple of paragraphs ago), one of my favorite parts this episode was the girl who told her friend they needed to consider diversity before continuing to watch a show.
Like all television viewers, our first priority before deciding to continue watching a show should be whether or not it features enough diversity.
Female TV Viewer
I love that Family Guy made a statement on the stupidity of that way of thinking. Shouldn't a show be watched for its enjoyment factor first? Am I a bad person if I don't check a show's diversity before I watch it? Or worse, actually like it?
Family Guy is always going to be Family Guy. It's crude and rude and funny as hell. It says the things we all wish we could say, but don't. That's what makes it so great. It doesn't need to win a ridiculous award to be relevant. It just needs to be itself.

Did Family Guy win an Emmy award?
That's what Peter wanted to ensure on Family Guy Season 16 Episode 1 when he grew tired of the show not getting any awards recognition.
With an uphill battle, he reeled in some of the other characters with an elaborate plan to win some awards.
But Peter's mission also ended up causing a lot of trouble for the residents of Spooner Street.

It's a wonder Peter has any friends at all.
On Family Guy Season 16 Episode 2, Peter decides that the guys are too lame to be his friends after he meets a paramedic who he thinks is the epitome of cool.
Peter should be celebrating Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe every chance he gets. They are the only people besides Lois who would ever tolerate his poor behavior.
I wasn't particularly fond of this episode of Family Guy. The laughs were far and few between, and it was a bit of a disappointment after such a strong season opener.
Peter discovers women's bathrooms are nicer than men's when he's at a Japanese restaurant with the family. Any man would find women's bathrooms amazing because some of them are pretty darn nice.
The one he goes into has candles and flowers and probably smells better than any other bathroom he's entered. Peter is fascinated by this and decides to go on a women's bathroom tour trying out different bathrooms in the mall and elsewhere.
When he hits his head on the sink of one bathroom after sitting on the toilet too long, he wakes up to find himself being treated by an incredibly cool and handsome paramedic named Stryker Foxx.
Foxx doesn't ask any questions about why Peter was in the women's bathroom; he only offers him chicken fingers and margaritas. So we get Peter who sits on the toilet to binge watch a show with another guy bringing food into the bathroom.
Nice or not, it's still a bathroom, and that's the whole point. Men do weird things in the bathroom, and I'll never understand why they like to sit in there so long reading, watching TV, or doing whatever they do.
For Peter, it is probably like a vacation.
Peter and Stryker hit it off almost immediately, and that's when Peter decides that Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe are just not cool enough for him. Peter is always trying to be something he's not.
He's never happy with who he is or what he's got. It's a shame because as dysfunctional as everything is in the Griffin household, Peter is a pretty lucky guy.
He's got great friends too, who even in his dream state decide to forgive him for being such an idiot. And that's what true friends do, right? They'll forgive all your idiocies because they love you for who you are.
One of the funniest parts of this whole episode is when Peter wears the wingsuit off the cliff, and Quagmire asks why he is wearing a douche suit. It says so much in so few words.
I mean who the hell goes wingsuiting anyway? I guess people who want to end up looking like bowls of tomato soup. The grilled cheese joke is gross but funny in a way only Family Guy can pull off.
Other moments that elicit smiles, like Peter getting slopped by his own vomit on the one loop roller coaster and Meryl Streep getting an Oscar for the "Stay Out of My Crapper" bit, but most everything else is forgettable, much like the Stewie pedophile joke.
Why would anyone find any humor in something like that? I'm not being prudish, people, I just don't see anything funny about it.
Almost everything related to Stewie makes me laugh (like texting Lois about hamburgers and meatballs), but the pedophile joke is unnecessary.
Is the Kathleen Turner joke supposed a reference to her incredible weight gain (the reason she's stealing people's stromboli's) or am I reading too much into that? Either way, it isn't funny, just stupid as sometimes Family Guy can be.
And is the NBA cutaway recycled? I seem to recall seeing that one before. What is that about?
Oh, and the George Clooney bit; loved it! If Clooney is the second worst Batman, who is the first? I know who my vote would be. How about you guys?
It's bothersome that sometimes Family Guy is so inconsistent. It's not that I expect to laugh for an entire 20 minutes, but at least make it worthwhile.
What do you guys think about "Foxx in the Men House"? What makes you laugh? What falls flat? Is it time for Family Guy to say goodbye?

How did Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland feel about Peter's new friend?
That was revealed on Family Guy Season 16 Episode 2 when Peter made friends a handsome paramedic who was way too cool to hang around with Peter's friends.
So, Peter ditched his long-time friends for the new one because he became caught up in how cool he would be if he was only friends with the paramedic.
Was Stewie the only person who could snap him out of it?
