There is an old adage when it comes to creative people, stick to what you know. Seth MacFarlane must be the crazy glue of the animation world. A one time writer for the Simpsons created Family Guy and then American Dad. At closer scrutiny, the characters have different names but the principles and main ideas are just the same as Family Guy which is basically itself a clone of The Simpsons.
Not to be outdone, Seth with his multi-million new contract from Fox will unload a spin-off from Family Guy, Cleveland Brown will have his own show. You could say it is the equivalent of The Jeffersons getting their own show from All in The Family. This formula format of churning out week after week of adult animation will one day fade into oblivion, but another politically correct version of Family Guy. Will it hurt the franchise? It’s just more of the same old over and over again. I don’t blame Fox for more, Seth has turned Family Guy into a one billion dollar industry.
