One of cable’s longest-running live-action comedies has tried, fruitlessly for an Emmy over the past few years and the Season 13 finale may have finally gathered some interest from the Television Academy.

Over the course of the series, Rob McElhenney’s character, “Ronald MacDonald” better known as “Mac” has had some of the greatest character growth, but always seems to revert the next season or so, for Season 7, Mac put on 50 lbs of fat, as a joke, however it never really landed, come season 8, Mac was back to normal.

Sunny tends to be a fixed point in space, where change rarely occurs.

Recently Mac came to terms with being gay, and has not yet told his father, in the finale of Season 13, he goes to the prison where his father is incarcerated to tell him, but winds up misleading his father into believing that Mac got a woman pregnant. Danny Devito’s “Frank” pulls some strings at the prison under the auspice of a Blake Shelton concert, so Mac can come out to his father on his own terms, through an interpretive dance he had been rehearsing in secret

The dancer with Mac, is a professional ballet dancer, Kylie Shea, and was choreographed by Alison Faulk & Leo Moctezuma.

Here’s hoping the Choreographer’s Peer Group at the Emmys takes notice.
