>>149540520 (OP)I heard somewhere that Ted was originally thought up as a potential animated sitcom pitch when MacFarlane was still working for HannaBarbera back in the '90s, so I think it'd be really cool if things came full circle and this new show were designed to be reminiscent of animated sitcoms from that era. It's a longshot, but there's a chance MacFarlane hasn't forgotten his TV animation roots.
