MrMallard 01/08/23 7:37:33 PM #1:	Like he had a rough three seasons in the 90's and 2000's, the show got cancelled and revived once between the second and third season, and the show finally got axed for good. He then spent four years doing nothing but - seemingly - trying to get Family Guy back on the air again. Now he's pushing 50, and he has to walk into a VA booth for a show he created but doesn't control to say "shut up Meg" and laugh like a moron for the 99th day in a row. Every now and again he gets to make an Orville episode, but then he has to go over to TBS and voice an effeminate alien and a lantern-jawed Jarhead moron on another show he created but doesn't control. Do you think he ever resents the drive that put him in this prison of his own creation? Do you think he wishes he could go back in time and change everything? --- Rest your head - you've got two pillows to choose from in a queen-sized bed Now Playing: Paladins, Minecraft, Danganronpa <cite>MrMallard posted [p:970714524] in Do you thi...

And American Dad is great. I am being pretty flippant, but regarding time in the booth, McFarlane voices Peter, Brian, Stewie, Carter Pewterschmidt, the main doctor character - a Stewie and Brian-focused episode has McFarlane voicing the bulk of every episode's lines. And I did always have a soft spot for American Dad.

CRON 01/08/23 7:45:57 PM #9:	Recent seasons of FG are a lot different than most people think. The show has a very Police Squad/Airplane tone now. American Dad is an anomaly.

legendarylemur 01/08/23 7:49:31 PM #12:	Yeah Family Guy revived so that American Dad can become its own thing. I admit after a certain season, even AD kinda falls off a bit (at least imo. They never really topped that one season with the hot tub and tornado), but the middle period American Dad is fucking legendary Couldn't care too much about FG, but the Stewie/Brian adventure episodes are pretty fun imo As for Seth McFarlane, like I think at a certain point if you earn that much money after getting everything you wanted to do, saying Meg every few weeks isn't the worst --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://i.imgur.com/krtFHol.jpg <cite>legendarylemur posted [p:970714767] in Do you thi...

With the exception of the season where Steve's principal appeared in most of the episodes. He's a funny character, but when they began shoehorning him into every episode it was almost unwatchable.

Lost_All_Senses 01/08/23 7:51:59 PM #15:	He willingly does the voices in interviews and tv appearances and seems like he still genuinely enjoys it. I don't think he's a no name that has to do it for people to be like "Oh, he's THAT guy". He's a talented voice actor that still has fans happy to hear his voice work.
