Title: Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy
Post by: Rico on July 01, 2008, 12:09:33 PM

This sounds intriguing....

Google is experimenting with a new method of distributing original material on the Web, and some Hollywood film financiers are betting millions that the company will succeed.

In September, Seth MacFarlane, creator of "Family Guy" on television, will unveil a carefully guarded new project called "Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy." Unlike "Family Guy," which is broadcast on Fox, this animation series will appear exclusively on the Internet.

The innovative part involves the distribution plan. Google will syndicate the program using its AdSense advertising system to thousands of Web sites that are predetermined to be gathering spots for Mr. MacFarlane's target audience, typically young men. Instead of placing a static ad on a Web page, Google will place a "Cavalcade" video clip.

I really don't care for most of Seth MacFarlane's shows. For the most part I find shows like American Dad and Family Guy to be rude, crude and morally detestable. Not to say that there are not some funny moments but to wade through all the garbage to get to the good stuff just isn't worth it to me. I tried to like Family Guy, I really did, but ultimately I find Fred Flintstone a whole lot funnier and The Flintstones is almost timeless in it's use of humor, even after over 40 years. I doubt the same will be said about Family Guy or American Dad.

The only thing that MacFarlane has worked on that I have enjoyed to some degree was Dexter's Lab. That shows target audience is completely different and thus more wholesome TV viewing.

I agree with Ktrek with how his comics are. They are just a bit.......morally bankrupt.

However, I do watch them. What can I say though, I am odd. :\ They are pretty fun to watch, in their own
