          McFarlane is weird. Family Guy is shit, American Dad has managed to stay surprisingly funny (I think mainly because of the Roger character), but mostly it's all lib shit indeed; then you get The Orville. Absolutely awesome - and doubly so because you can tell it was sold as a funny-type show but you can also definitely tell that's not the direction he wanted to go with it, from the start; and it's not the one he took, especially in the very latest season.

            Roger is probably one of the top 5 funniest cartoon characters of the last two decades. They didn't start that way, but by God have the writers done wonders with their characterization. Basically just a more depraved and sociopathic Bugs Bunny with just enough wit to make them tolerable for episodic focus. A perfect foil for every other character.

            The Orville follows Star Trek enough that it's refreshingly leftist, but beneath the surface-level Trekisms, like a currency-less, post-scarcity society, it's still entry-level liberal politics.

            That said, it's the closest thing we currently have to vintage Trek and I still love it.

        How the fuck is Seth MacFarlane the person who makes those decisions?

          He's the only reason they made a new Cosmos. Similar to how he got The Orville made, he leveraged Family Guy's popularity to make it happen.

          Money. He has plenty and brings in way more. He's given a lot of leeway, and they can keep making family guy forever.
