Seth Macfarlane has said he doesn't understand why Family Guy fans love the first 3 seasons and slam the recent episodes in comparison. Seth isn't very fond of the pre-cancellation episodes, citing story and animation problems, and doesn't find the first 3 seasons particularly funny.
In fact, Seth goes as far as stating his belief that the fans who prefer the pre-cancellation episodes are just aggravated that the show they stuck with back when it wasn't popular and FOX didn't care about it (the show they fought to save) has now become something different then they remember. Apparently it's a sense of misplaced entitlement or something.
Creators always hate their earliest work. Matt and Trey have disowned anything from before season 4 of South Park.

Why the first three seasons were comfy and funny and everyone wasn’t an asshole
Nicholas Morris
He doesn't like the earlier seasons because they remind him of when he had a soul
Luke Nelson
Source?

>Creator thinks the shitty things they're currently creating aren't shit, and are in fact the best things they've ever made, more at 11.
Lincoln Torres
So when are they going to can family guy?
Isaac Peterson
He’s not creating it though. He just does voices.
Anthony Thomas
Dvd commentary for volume 7
Levi Campbell
This. Like, modern Family Guy just became tedious and so pretentious. Especially when it lets skits go on for way too long.

>literally a decade ago Cool, so maybe not relevant at all

Regardless if Seth actually said any of that or not, he is not in a position to voice his true feelings on the subject. Seth would get in a lot of hot water if he admitted in public that "Yeah, Family Guy isn't as good as it used to be".
Though the series itself has sprinkled plenty of small jokes referencing it's own decline in quality and popularity.
It still takes a rare kind of humility for people working in media to admit their current or most recent work ISN'T their best. It's the same with musicians, directors, whoever - Their new album or movie is always the best one they've ever made. They're always getting better. No-one wants to admit they might have gotten worse.
>Seth isn't very fond of the pre-cancellation episodes, citing story and animation problems, and doesn't find the first 3 seasons particularly funny. He’s right, only in that Family Guy was NEVER good.
Justin Hall
It's fun to listen to him not give a fuck on the DVD commentaries on the DVDs from early seasons.
To be fair, most of pre-S4 South Park was legit trash.
Joseph Morgan
Any good bits? Havent listened to them
Josiah Wilson
Hey, Frankie, how's that helipad for JFK working out?
Jayden Morales
What a shame
Josiah Nguyen
Before I realized he worked on Johnny Bravo and his Cartoon Network pitch I really underestimated how big he was on animation in general. One i specifically remember him calling out was that during this song how Peter shrinks during the bit where he dances on the table.
why would they? unless fox have a show to replace it with.
Zachary Howard
who cares for what he said? He wrote three episodes
Samuel Morgan
we can compromise i think ALL of family guy sucks shit
Parker Williams
Maybe it's a Disney thing, but even then it's confusing as to why
Caleb Campbell
I couldn't give a fuck. Orville is the best thing he's ever made anyway. And he agrees.
John Green
Aren't there wealthy sex clubs he could keep his hobby in though. Even late season 2 had the fucking pilot get cucked by a hologram. That's as low as you can set the limbo bar.
Aaron Price
That's not what cucked means. Even if that is what it meant, that's not what happens in the episode.
Kevin Flores
>anything
Dr. Mephisto disagrees, but will give you credit because they actually disowned Mr. Hankey.
Justin Flores
Then he's retarded. The show sucks now
Hunter Young
I believe Mickey's sharpening his axe, weaving his rope, and charging his chair right now.
Jackson Cook
We know what cucked means, as well as NTR. He has a thing for people getting caught with another person or leaving them for another person over and over. It's his MO. In this case he walked in with the hologram with her old hologram, after he deleted him.
Juan Moore
I always thought this was dumb. Seasons 1 and 3 are excellent, only Season 2 is bad. And does that include the movie? Because that's the funniest movie ever made and season 21 has a blatant reference to it.
Luke Bailey
>A creator being out of touch with his fans. What a shock.
