Why does everyone hate Seth Macfarlane? I know literally NO ONE will agree with me, but I think he's very talented. Does he deserve 3 shows on Fox? No. The Cleveland Show is a waste of airtime. I have yet to find someone who likes it. But Family Guy and American Dad are funny. I hear a lot of people say "Oh, only stupid people are entertained by Family Guy." I can't argue with the fact that the majority of Family Guy's fanbase are not very intelligent, but I also happen to find the show clever in a lot of ways. Yeah, they do take a lot of cheap shots at celebrities, but they also show political views (both Seth's and not Seth's) in a way that makes it dumbed down. I personally find that funny.

And I can see why you would think Seth is pretentious, but I don't think that's completely true. He is actually a gay rights activist and despite his Atheism, he states he has no problem with religious people. That being said, I do think he is convinced that he can do literally anything on his show (which in all honesty, it seems that he can). But my point is I'm never really offended by any of it, because I realize it's not out of hate.

And if you're really that offended by Family Guy, I have a pleasant idea. Change the channel. :D
