“I get bored pretty quickly … The Cleveland Show, just getting that off the ground was very stimulating, it was a lot of fun to kind of build something new and to see if it could be done.”

Seth also talked about his motivation for coming to work every day:

“I guess what motivates me is that I can’t ever really be content with the status quo. I was sort of – for good or for bad – driven to seek out whatever’s next, what’s the next level, what’s the next step, whether that be creatively or career-wise.”

He also talks about why the character of Cleveland was chosen for the spinoff, rather than the popular choice of Quagmire:

“For a number of reasons Cleveland was the obvious choice, not the least of which had to do with Mike Henry, who does his voice, who is also a writer, is very much a comedy powerhouse and he himself was an obvious choice to run a series,” said Seth.

Here’s what Seth had to say about the gig:

“I look forward to catching up with my strike buddies from 2007, and making some new strike buddies for 2011,” said MacFarlane.

Now, a few weeks ago, I told you about the rumor that Seth Green (Robot Chicken, Chris Griffin), was shopping around a special of his own, so I’m wondering if the rumor has its roots in THAT story. Hmm. Here’s the official scuttlebutt:

“He’s stretched thin,” admits Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly at today’s Winter TCA. “We’ve got one other show we’re contemplating with Seth and looking to broaden our animation brand out too. I love working with the guy, but our plan is not all Seth, all the time. He has something up his sleeve that’s animated, so we’re going to continue to be in business with him for quite a few years and I think you’ll see us to broaden out that brand a little bit.”

Honestly, we all love Seth, but let’s give the poor guy a break, let him concentrate on the shows he’s already got. PLEASE. We don’t want a repeat of Family Guy Season 7, otherwise known as “The Season That Just Wouldn’t Die”.

“It gives me an erection, that’s how exciting it is,” MacFarlane said. “That’s one thing I’ve always said about ‘Family Guy,’ it’s not f**king clear enough.”

Also, while we CAN expect another parody of Return of the Jedi, we probably won’t get any more than that, since Seth isn’t as familiar with those ones as he is the older ones.

“I’m not as well versed on the newer movies as I am the old ones,” MacFarlane said. “I was a kid when the old ones came out so they hold a special place in my heart.”

George Lucas is a big fan of the FG parodies; even giving Seth the rights to air the music and characters:

“Lucas gave us the rights,” MacFarlane said. “Lucas agreed to let us do this. And that’s a rare thing. Most legal departments are much more protective.”
