Seth MacFarlane once again took extreme displeasure in comments made by a host of Fox News, another episode in a long saga between the Family Guy creator and Fox News corporate sibling Fox Entertainment, which airs his long-running animated series Family Guy. “Tucker Carlson’s latest opinion piece once again makes me wish Family Guy was on any other network,” MacFarlane tweeted Sunday. “Look, Fox, we both know this marriage isn’t working any more. The sex is only once a year, I don’t get along with your mother, and well… I’ve been having an affair with NBC.” The last line is a reference to the mega TV overall deal MacFarlane made in January 2020 with NBCUniversal’s UCP, leaving his longtime studio home, then-20th Century Fox Television. This is not the first time MacFarl...

Photo: HBO Can we escape becoming our parents? Halfway through The White Lotus, up to third episode “Mysterious Monkeys,” practically every character who discussed their parents did so with resentment.
