'Family Guy' Creator Calls Modern Television Bleak and Devoid of "Hope"

Seth MacFarlane, the creator of one of the most controversial TV shows of all time, has a very particular opinion about modern television. The mastermind behind animated gems like Family Guy and American Dad! isn't entirely happy with the "pessimistic" tone of the stories on TV today, and says this could be having an effect on audiences. MacFarlane isn't exactly a storyteller who's known for sticking to the rules, but he might have a point in saying that few shows currently airing seem all that interested in making you feel a pinch of hope.
