    I knew I wanted to miss Seth McFarlane, and I was right – no real surprises other than how utterly meh his dudebroniousness is at this point. Note to Seth, good comics *evolve* – unless it’s Ministry of Funny Walks calibre, any schtick has a short half life.

    (Side notation, Freddie de[boner] is *still* ‘splainin on the internet?)

    Looking forward to your future posts on this.
