If you're a Family Guy fan like me, you'll want to read this Onion A.V. Club interview with Seth McFarlane, the show's creator. One interesting topic covered is how The Simpsons staff hates Family Guy. Says McFarlane: "Apparently they hate our guts. I'm not sure why. I've said this before, but that show, at its best, is up there with the best episodes of All In The Family, Mary Tyler Moore, and Dick Van Dyke, I think. I was reading a quote from one of the writers, from a lecture that he gave, that said "The Simpsons staff hates Family Guy." Who knows why? I'm not losing any sleep over it." I won't lose any sleep over it either, but as someone who loves both shows I have a hard time seeing how anyone with the wits to write for The Simpsons could hate Family Guy. Oh well, it doesn't bother Seth. ("you gotta take it if you're going to dish it out.") In fact he says it motivates them. Cool. That bodes well for the 35 new shows in production.
