'Family Guy' Creator Seth MacFarlane's Web-Only Series Launches
If you enjoy Seth MacFarlane's 'Family Guy,' then you must love the constant barrage of non sequiturs that keep you guessing in every episode. That's the main theme of Seth's new show, the 'Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy,' a series of short sketches from the man himself that are each completely random, and each available to watch only online.
The vids, two of which are available now via Burger King's BK Channel on YouTube, and separately on MacFarlane's own domain, clock in at around two minutes or less, which is roughly the same length as your average 'Family Guy' "remember when" moment. The first is a play on 'Super Mario Bros.' with Mario expressing a little... chagrin at the Princess not wanting to give him a kiss for rescuing her, while the second is a glimpse at what might happen if humans and animals teamed up on the $64,000 Pyramid.
No television is network paying the bills on this one, so 'Cavalcade' is what you could call an "experimental" series. Burger King is obviously providing some funding, but apparently only when a viewer clicks on an advertisement within the video (MacFarlane gets a percentage of the ad dollars every time someone clicks). Google will itself get a cut of that click for hosting the video as well, but what remains to be seen is just how profitable this will be for the man himself. So, give the above vid a click if you're fan. [From: TechCrunch]

I believe "creator" is mispelled in the title.

I don't like the jokes about Christ Jesus or any other religious jokes.
If you are antichrist you shouldn't make fun of those who believe in Christ.
Keep your antisimestic/antichrist jokes out of the cartoon.

The show is so preverse, it show the moral decay of the human society. Any time the dog is talking, dating humans and baby sitting a baby is gross. Does this show give us insight of what on the minds of humans today. We are in bad moral shape .NO wonder our society is failing..

Don't like it, don't watch it. I like it.

I think the show is hysterical. It doesn't "poke fun" at any specific group, but all groups in particular. I suppose the person that didn't like the talking dog also had issues with "Mister Ed" and "Dr. Doolittle"? Get a life, it is a freakin' cartoon.

Hey mjhoneybunch, "Get a life it's only a cartoon". I suppose you find something offensive in Rocky and Bullwinkle too, after all there is a talking dog on that one to who happens to be a genius.
