Seth MacFarlane honestly frustrates me. He’s proven time and
again that he is more than capable of being funny, whether it’s with American
Dad, the first Ted movie or the early days of Family Guy. But more recently, he
has severely fallen by the wayside with stuff like The Cleveland Show, A
Million Ways To Die In The West and the current days of Family Guy. His track record
actually has a couple of bizarre similarities to that of another animated
sitcom creator: Matt Groening. Both started out with shows that were great to
begin with and are fondly remembered by all, provided that you stopped watching
about halfway through their run, while their other show got lesser attention
while managing to outperform the original in certain aspects, most notably in
their consistency. MacFarlane, despite what some of his creations may argue, is not a bad creative mind. Hell, watching the first Ted movie again in prep for this review, it’s actually better than I remember it being. But how
does the sequel hold up?
