X-Play’s Dilemma- Not the Cosby’s? or Not Married With Children?

NL- It might seem like getting two award nominations in one category is a huge honor, on one hand it is. But from a logistics approach it’s a nightmare. Let me explain. The voters that like your movies are going to be torn as to which one to vote for. So instead of say, 30 votes for Cosby’s  if it was your ONE movie in the noms, you have now split the vote, maybe 10 for Married with Children & 20 for Cosby’s. Which means it would be easy for your TWO movies to get the most votes, but to have another company win the award because their ONE movie received more nods. X-play in just one example from the nom list, there are many companies with the same situation. Realistically it’s better, in my opinion, to just have one movie nominated per category.

Battle Royal? Not Married with Children XXX vs Not the Cosbys XXX as Best Parody
 

(Hollywood, CA) Many are saying that Not Married with Children XXX is the best porn parody of the year and with the recent explosion of adult movie spoofs, AVN has added a Best Parody category to their upcoming awards ceremony in Las Vegas.  However others say that Not the Cosbys XXX might be the best parody which is causing headaches and a sense of concern for the hit-makers at X-Play which created both movies.
 
Why the concern?  Not Married with Children XXX is a favorite to win because the movie is “just like the famous Fox Television show of the 1980s and early 90s” and features spot-on performances by Eric Swiss as Al Bundy earning a Best Actor nomination, Kagney Linn Karter for Best Supporting Actress as the slutty Kelly Bundy and Brittany O’Connell Best Supporting Actress for her hilarious role as Peg Bundy.  
 
However, Not the Cosbys XXX is also “so spot-on perfect” with Thomas Ward playing Cliff Huxtable in what many are saying is the greatest non-sex performance ever in the history of adult cinema.  His performance is so uncanny that many think they are watching sir Bill Cosby himself and when you throw in the Female Performer of the Year nominee Misty Stone as Denise Huxtable and some of the greatest family situations ever you begin to have a battle royal brewing.    
 
Gram Ponante writes in his movie review, “Not Married with Children XXX features a script that is just as good (or bad) as the original.  If Fox picked up 22 episodes of Not Married with Children XXX, I would watch it.”
 
Movie reviewer Don Houston first wrote glowingly about Not the Cosbys XXX on Xcritic.com, “It’s the high mark as the best sitcum (situation porn parody) to date, elevating the standard for the rest of the pack yet again.”  His words came before he would get a chance to watch Not Married with Children XXX which came out two months later.
 
Hence the headaches felt by producers Scott David & Jeff Mullen who worry that the awards voters might split their votes hurting their chances to win.
 
“Look, Not the Cosbys XXX is our black Brady Bunch because it is so wholesome, pure and good until they take their pants off.  Not Married with Children XXX is America’s number one raunchy comedy for good reason because they are completely dysfunctional until they take their pants off,” joked director Will Ryder.
 
“We can’t worry about splitting votes because that will drive us insane but we’re proud of both movies and I think either one of them can win,” stated co-producer Scott David who knows that winning won’t be easy.
 
Both movies will be broadcast on Playboy TV in the upcoming year.
 
Georga at Adult Movies Today.net thinks that the X-Play sitcums are a huge cut above all other competitor parodies writing, “You also start to wonder why Will Ryder never became a mainstream director for television.”
 
Rogreviews.com writes, “The X Play team still makes the best parodies on the market.”
 
Don Houston might tip the scales when all is said and done as he wrote, “there has been nothing released in the last year from competitors that beat this one.”
 
He was referring to Not Married with Children XXX.
