American Dad is way better than Family Guy imo. The jokes, the characters, the whole thing, way more entertaining.

That’s how he was the voice of the characters in tv shows as well as being a director producer and actor
And Seth of course is a devoted adoptive father to his adult sons of George and Patrick and he’s also got two cats Arthur and Hank
And also became a brother in law when his sister got married to her own husband and became an uncle to his sisters two daughters and makes his sister the aunt to his two adopted sons
Even though isn’t married to anyone

I met Mel Blanc when I was young.
Seth McFarlane variety of voices puts Mel to shame.

Seth McFarland is that guy in high school, you know? Automatically friend zoned, but the better you knew him, the more you liked him. And then you noticed how you liked how gorgeous he was when he laughed and his eyes crinkled like they do, and then you acted stupid because you didn't know how to act around your friend because he was awesome and you were too stupid to realize it.
Yeah. That's him.

I appreciate how he says that the characters have changed to something he doesn’t like much now he’s not working on it

@jf47249

@eughsrs
January 23, 2026 at 6:03 pm
40 grand? If he did the voices himself and animated himself too, i dont understand where this money went. Can anyone explain this? I dont see how drawing something costs money
