The Big Bang Theory, One Day at a Time, The Ranch, Will & Grace—what gets the multi-camera slot?

My guess is that The Flight Attendant is on the Watchmen/Hill House trajectory where it goes series for the winter awards, even though everyone knows that it is limited, then it course-corrects for the Emmys.

All of these have ended and/or been cancelled last season so likely none of them

As far as I know, these are all the multi-can shows that have aired in the 2020-21 calendar

• B-Positive
• Bob Hearts Abishola
• Broke
• Fuller House
• Last Man Standing
• Mom
• Outmatched
• The Connors

Guessing the nominee will either be The Connors or Mom

or

Kevin Can Go Fuck Himself (which uses both single and multi-can setups) submits itself in the multi-cam categories, it being Annie Murphy’s first post Schitt’s project gets it buzzed and becomes the defuncto multi-cam nominee.

Emmys FYC | Alan Tudyk in “Resident Alien” | Billie Piper in “I Hate Suzie” | Ego Nwodim in “Saturday Night Live” | Kaley Cuoco in “Harley Quinn” | “Dickinson” | “P-Valley” | “Pose” | “Superstore”

I doubt they’ll resurrect Mom and The Conners is dead
I think multicam gets the bye bye bye.

Maybe B- positive? It had good reviews and stars Broadway stars.

I’m actually predicting The Conners for the multi-camera slot. It’s the only “big Multicam show” left on network television and I can see a world where Metcalf slips back in (although I’m not predicting her to). It also did have buzz for like two weeks because of it grounding itself in a Covid storyline.

I guess that B-Positive is possible although admittedly I had no idea what it was till it was mentioned on here.

For the time being I’ll predict The Neighborhood seeing as it is directed by Mark Cendrowski (aka the reason the rule came in)

Updated Emmy Comedy Predictions:

I feel like Ted Lasso could end up doing what Veep did and get multiple nominees in both Comedy Writing and Directing but lose both categories due to a vote-split but still win Series because it’s a strong show with passion.

Very intrigued to see if Amazon have a Comedy push here in the Spring. Truth Seekers seems so buzzless (and I say this as a fan of the show!) that I can’t see it get into anything outside of technicals (it deserves to win Sound Editing and Sound Mixing although let’s face it The Mandalorian has those categories locked). However if Amazon run a campaign it will be tempting to predict Kelly MacDonald in Guest Actress because I can see her get a name-check nomination, the category is empty and I doubt SNL submits more than 5 performers in each guest category.

Is it a sure thing that The Flight Attendant will be comedy or is that just speculation right now?
