Seth MacFarlane on His Childhood Cartoons & Family Guy

the letterhead is from South Kent School. a very small all boys boarding school in CT, it is the closest thing to the middle of nowhere you can get, I lived there, mastered ice skating, and some other things. but there is nothing to do.. i mean NOTHING!!!

It's insane how multi-talented Seth really is! Voice-artist, Animator, Singer, Actor, Writer, Comedian etc. He's a true Jack of All Trades and honestly it's extremely rare to find people like that in the entertainment business.

Each time I hear about the fact that Trey Parker and Matt Stone think Family Guy is a bad show kind of make me sad. hahah I love them for creating such a great show(South Park) but I really think they don’t evaluate the show the way it truly deserves. Behind the fart jokes there’s some very brillant jokes and fact about our actual society. It’s clearly not hard to see Seth is a very brillant man not shy about having a childish humor. He’s one of my personal favorite artist and his show The Orville really show how aware he is of the actual problems happening in our society. He’s more than a dude writing fart jokes.

I am HUGE fan of Family Guy, I have seen every episode at least 10 times, with the exception of the current season. It make me sad that Seth has gotten so big that he feels maybe he is too good to work on Family Guy now. I hope he returns back to writing it more often because it has lost quality. Family Guy is what made Seth who he is now and I hope he remembers that and tries to make Family Guy better, I would hate for it to get cancelled again.

[@tashasteeves]

Any guesses on what Seth is obsessively drinking? I’m thinking it is the blood of Kenny.

[@rymac2586]

He drinks alcohol when doing tv interviews. I remember on Bill Maher's show the crew mixed up McFarlane's & Darrel Issa's "Real Time" mugs. During the first interview Issa took a sip thinking it was water & choked, saying "you really give us alcohol!" but Maher didn't get it until later on in the show when Seth was doing the roundtable & complained his mug was filled with water instead of alcohol & that's the reason why he was being uncharacteristically quiet. Maher had Issa come back to the stage to switch mugs & was legit pissed about the mixup, maybe cuz he had dismissed Issa's complaint earlier as a tactic to get out of a pointed interview question... But ya, anyway, that's gin or scotch...
