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.

This show is pretty forgotten, but interesting.
>They made an animated series for Beethoven which is a “family” movie that looks to be about a giant slobbering dog making Charles Grodin’s life a living hell, but it’s really about this psychopath vet paid to test bullets, who kidnaps dogs and then shoots them to see how much their brains explode (yes that’s the plot).
>The animated series is about what the original movie advertised, funny dog hijinks but this time Beethoven TALKS (i am not joking) all while terrorizing the neighborhood. He now has some dog friends who also talk, one of them was Bill Fagerbakke before Patrick. They also only could afford one of the family’s actors to voice one for some reason.
Overall, this was a pretty decent series, but not the most memorable thing.
