What do you think of Seth MacFarlane cartoons?

Seth MacFarlane cartoons... some love them and some hate them.

Back in the early seasons, Family Guy was something new and fresh. Sure the humor has always been kinda easy, but it was fun nevertheless. Then as it went on tit got worse, especially characters like Stewie. Also, as I got older I found the series more and more immature. And even though the older episodes are better, they're not exactly very memorable as compared to the classic Simpsons and South Park episodes.

American Dad has its moments and has some good ideas but still suffers from the same easy humor as Family Guy. Also, it's even more over the top and in your face but unlike shows like South Park, it doesn't seem to pull it off well. South Park still comes across as sharp and mature despite all of the coarse and over the top stuff in it. Seth Macfarlane cartoons end up just being obnoxious and annoying. As do the characters, unlike SP characters. Cartman, per example, might be a racist asshole, but he's hard to dislike. Kinda like Archie Bunker form All in Family.

The Cleveland Show, from the few bits I've seen, seems like the worst of the bunch. First of all, why the hell did they even make a show starring Cleveland? Was he even that popular in the first place? Anyway, I found it pretty boring. Definitely not interested in going deeper into it.

Tl;dr they suck as a whole, yea.
