Aw, bummer. Just did some googling and discovered Seth Macfarlane is leaving after season 3.

Despite that, I still hope to see it continue.

So... as far as I can see it, every clip from, The Orville, is essentially <insert comedy cliche here> but in SPACE!

WTF is the point in this show? I mean, I think some of what Seth McFarlane does is funny, but this is so hackneyed it's not even remotely interesting, never mind funny.

Yea what tipped me off to Jon's stance on these matters is that video here on the sift where he had an angry rant at Seth McFarlane for the sketch done on him about not cancelling his show during the writers guild strikes. It helped me understand him a bit better.

He makes an attempt at being 'neutral" but he seems to have some underlying issues with really supporting what OWS is trying to achieve.

I imagine it's probably Seth McFarlane doing the voices, as usual

I'm disappointed in him for saying that the show should have pulled punches. He could easily have said, "I'm a huge fan of Jon's show and deeply appreciate what he does for the cause of rationality in politics. But Jon is a public figure and the show takes swings at everyone. I'm not Family Guy. If I personally were taking Jon to task about what he did during the strike, I would have been much more measured. But 'measured' isn't one of the buzzwords around our offices."

Instead, at 3:22, he says, "The gag that we did on Family Guy was coming from the right place, but was probably so over the line in its ruthlessness that it probably could have been more measured in its execution. How about that?" Lame.>> ^gwiz665:

Seth is not Family Guy. Saying whatever he wants on the show is one thing. They don't seem to pull any punches there, but for him to go out and smear someone in person, takes it to another level, and really he's too smart for that.
Moreover, the context of where he was here. In an interview with basically tabloid news, the host trying his best to egg him on to say something he might later regret.

I guess I don't know enough about the context, or I'm not connecting the dots. Care to help?>> ^gwiz665:

Weak sauce from MacFarlane. I'm with Morgan on this one 100%. Since when does Family Guy have to apologize for crossing the line? Is there any other reason to watch that show besides seeing how much too far they take a joke? They make an art out of it. I'm disappointed MacFarlane is that afraid of Stewart, and of his publicist too, apparently.

You're right, and we are the media.>> ^VoodooV:

Is this really a feud?? But nah...the media wouldn't take a minor tiff and inflate it into something more would they?!

>> ^rychan:

I still can't figure out what episode this joke occurred in. Here's what McFarlane said about the joke, if that gives anyone some hints:
"There was a very inside joke on "Family Guy" referring to the fact that he was working before the writers' strike was over. It was admittedly a very direct middle finger of a joke, which I don't discount."


It must be very, very inside, because I did some googling and it seems like no one knows what the joke is.

Now if only I could find this inside joke hidden in an episode of Family Guy that annoyed Jon Stewart.


Well, where is it? I like to see it too.

My first thought, also.
