This episode is self-awareness at its finest. The Griffin family plans to win an Emmy by trying to copy top quality TV shows like Breaking Bad, Modern Family etc.
In terms of comedy, the show does a good job parodying the TV shows they are trying to copy from. The whole framework story of the Griffins begging for an Emmy and at the same time criticizing their own show's lack of quality in recent years worked really well.
However, I also wished the episode managed to keep the thread of the premise. Unfortunately, the plot just jumped from one parody to another and then back again and eventually ended up concluding the framework story.
All in all, a solid episode with a funny and realistic concept but chaotically constructed.
