    Who cares about watching a documentary about seth?He made a cartoon series that was once great,canceled,and then came back as a preacher of liberal ideology.They should make a documentary about a guy who created something great and then destroyed it with his own personal beliefs.

    Phil,
    What brilliant multi-million dollar successes
    have you developed?
    Probably none. That’s what I thought.
    People like you disgust me.
    You just go around posting on message boards and it makes you feel so GOOD!
    You are the WORST kind of person.

    Phil, is that complaint more to do with the fact that some of the statements made through Family Guy conflict with your own opinions, or do you just dislike the show expressing a view point?

    Whatever your opinion of the show today, surely you can’t deny that it has become a huge phenomena over the years, much more popular than at the beginning. This could be an interesting documentary.

    Ah, perhaps Family Guy would be a MUCH better show for you and you would be praising Seth constantly if he touted the conservative ideology in every episode?

    Go back to watching Bill O’Reilly to make you feel better, and let people with different viewpoints than you have their RIGHT to freedom of speech for a change. No one forces you to watch Family Guy.

    family guy’s ok, but nothing THAT impressive, it hasn’t really shaped any new form of entertainment like The Simpsons or South Park. They changed animated shows forever, Family Guy is just a knock off of them, and the new episodes have been so lame. I think Seth has an inventive mind and love his taste in music, but nothing that is worthy of a huge documentary.
