Well, I guess our little Second Golden Age of Animation was good while it lasted:
From wunderkind to TV mogul: After 2 1/2 years of negotiations, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has inked a new overall deal with 20th Century Fox TV that would make him the highest-paid writer-producer working in television.
The pact, which could be worth more than $100 million, will keep MacFarlane at 20th TV through 2012. It covers his services on Guy and his other two animated series for 20th TV and Fox -- American Dad! and the upcoming Guy spinoff The Cleveland Show -- as well as his series development, which includes a multicamera comedy with Guy writer Gary Janetti.
Hey, why stop at three? Clearly the demand is there for an infinitude of rubber-stamp clone shows of what was a rubber-stamp clone show to begin with.
Via Dean Esmay, who on this point at least is seriously loopy.
