Author Tract: Difference between revisions

* Seth MacFarlane has bluntly stated that ''[[American Dad]]'', a show about an [[Strawman Political|extremely stupid conservative CIA agent]] and his family, was created primarily out of his frustration at George W. Bush's re-election in 2004. However, despite its overtly political premise, it has generally been far less preachy than the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episodes that have aired during the same years. An episode focused around Bush, while showing him to be pretty stupid, actually had him portrayed as a pretty decent guy who ends up delivering a heartfelt message to help Stan be more forgiving and supportive of his daughter.

* A writer for ''[[The Simpsons]]'' admitted that the creative team has deliberately made Ned Flanders, in recent seasons, less of a 'turn the other cheek' Christian and more of an intolerant [[Moral Guardians|Moral Guardian]], as a protest against the growing influence of [[Moral Guardians]] in Bush's America. Much of this has been viewed as being massively out of character compared with earlier seasons. Flanders was de-[[Flanderization|Flanderized]] in [[The Movie]], though, being portrayed as a genuinely caring guy who just has some annoying quirks.
