This gets a little bit more difficult when you’re driving faster than 60 MPH, but I can attest that this works. Maybe ~40 MPH is the sweet spot.

Not to mention the number of shots he’s taken at Fox on both Family Guy and American Dad. Seth has never shied away from expressing his displeasure at the seemingly Faustian deal he had to make to not just get his shows on the air, but to keep them on the air as well.

On the other hand, Fox also prematurely cancelled Firefly, Dollhouse, Arrested Development, and Futurama.

And yet you forget the show that paved the way for all those shows you listed:

The first season is like 80% Next Gen with some juvenile humor added. The second season is like 95% Next Gen

Sadly overlooked is Parker Lewis Can’t Lose..

They have several Trek people working on it as well, and it is absolutely better Trek than Discovery.

I like FOX too, but I do have to point out that this is the same network that gave us Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire?

I loved Gotham, but even if you hated it, I think it still supports my point.

I think what Seth found was a gaggle of ex-Star Trek show creatives and OGs who were jazzed to jump back into the genre. Remember Orville got going right around the same time as Discovery and it seemed like Paramount wasn’t yet milking the ST veterans while Orville was like: “Milk Away me hardies!”

The first season of The Orville definitely focuses more on Seth McFarland’s comedic sensibilities but by season 2, it’s all but straight-laced TNG with a little humor sprinkled in the background.

his work was the damn benchmark for the lowest common comedy denominator for years

At the same time, they’re known for doing their best to ruin some of those series via changed episode orders, moving the nights shows air, and quick cancellations for no apparent reason (other than ratings fluctuating because of Fox’s own interventions). Some shows even thrived once moving to new networks like…

You’re welcome. They said the show was more Star Trek than current Star Trek. 

Look, I know a lot of people are going to (rightly) point out that Macfarlane doesn’t take nearly as active a role in his animation endeavors these days, but all I’m saying is that it’s a ballsy move for the creator/executive producer/half the voice cast of Family Guy to talk shit about pandering to the lowest common…

No idea. People really seem to hate him, but I can’t think of a single scandal he’s been a part of that would generate that amount of hate. Like you said, he hasn’t been a writer for Family guy in a long time (2011 IIRC), and even if you simply despise the show as a whole, that doesn’t mean you need to hate it’s…

I have never understood some people’s extreme dislike for this guy. He had nothing to do with Family Guy turning into a pile of bigoted, unfunny dogshit.

Nobody tell these people that Fantasia has a segment of literal Bacchian debauchery and another that’s just a full on Black Mass.

I know it's different in different territories but where I'm from, Disney+ has got It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia on it so...

My reason for adding them later is the same as for chocolate chip pancakes: so I can make sure there are an appropriate amount of things in each pancake, which can be hard to do when the things are swimming around in the batter. Some pancakes end up only having two blueberries, others are nothing but blueberries.
