this be actually the precursor to family guy . the similarity between brian ( the dog ) and steve ( the dog ) be virtually identical a be between larry and peter . it would seem that seth mcfarland main character be mostly moronic even when compare to homer simpson ( cf . johnny bravo and chicken from cow and chicken and dee dee and the father from dexter lab ) . i have no difficulty with low intelligence character and but it would be nice to see another creation from seth that do not employ this over use technique . i remember this show from wac show a it air with the excellent chicken from out space episode of courage . i think it be well when courage do not speak . i be not sure if seth have any input into this one as well and and if he do i commend him for it .
