Quote from Al Jean in the story Mark linked to: "We have been told that animated program writers could not also submit their work for writing Emmys, for reasons we never understood, but supposedly pertaining to the purity of the branches. "This is why no one was more startled than we when last year 'Community' was able to submit for comedy series, writing, and animated program, in the face of everything we had been told for two decades. We were told that for some reason, a one-time waiver was granted. "Imagine our surprise when this year we see 'Community' once again eligible for comedy series, writing, animated program, and short-form animated program. This letter is in no way intended to be a slight on the terrific show 'Community,' but a request from us to enjoy the very same rights they now do. Clearly the Academy’s ban on submitting in multiple categories is being enforced in an arbitrary and unfair manner. We therefore request that we also be able to submit our programs for both animation and comedy series as well as in the writing category." So Community submitted their animated episode last year and also, apparently, Digital Estate Planning. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
