Seth MacFarlane/Trivia: Difference between revisions

The following are [[Trivia Trope|Trivial]] facts relating to [[Seth Macfarlane]].

* [[Adored By the Network]]: Ever since ''[[King of the Hill]]'' ended and ''[[Sit Down Shut Up]]'' flopped so bad that FOX yanked it off the air after four episodes, the Sunday night "Animation Domination" line-up is mostly [[Seth Macfarlane]]'s cartoons. The only cartoons that aren't created by [[Seth Macfarlane]] on the line-up are ''[[The Simpsons]]'' [23 seasons and more or less still going strong] and a crop of oddball shows such as ''[[Bob's Burgers]]'' and the animated adaptation of ''[[Napoleon Dynamite]]''. If FOX's penchant for canceling shows as quickly as they premiere is indicative of anything (and the fact that ''Bob's Burgers'' has yet to come back with new episodes), the oddball cartoons will probably be canceled and forgotten either after the series' end or sooner than that.

* [[Screwed By the Network]]: ''[[Family Guy]]'' was subjected to this. ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'' has been this way as well, especially ever since ''[[Family Guy]]'' was [[Un Cancelled]] (''[[Family Guy]]'' even has jokes about ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'' being nigh-unknown, such as Peter referring to the show as "...whatever FOX is limping to the barn with," and in ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'', Brian Griffin stares at Stan and scoffs, "Do I know you?"). Amazingly, ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'' hasn't been subjected to this treatment, despite the fact that most [[Seth Macfarlane]] fans don't care much for this show.

* [[Talking to Himself]]: Played straight in ''[[Family Guy]]'' and (to a lesser extent), ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]''; averted with ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'' as MacFarlane only plays one character on that show (Tim the Bear).
