Seth MacFarlane Applauds the Incredible Timeliness of South Park
Despite a long-running feud, Seth MacFarlane thinks "South Park" remains "incredible" because of its timeliness.

TL;DR: Despite a years-long on-air feud with Matt Stone and Trey Parker, Seth MacFarlane can’t help but marvel at South Park’s breakneck two-week production cycle and razor-sharp timeliness—especially after the viral, day-of-air takedown of President Trump in Season 27. Over on Family Guy, each episode still takes almost a year to finish, meaning MacFarlane’s team has to predict what pop culture (and politics) will look like months down the road.
The beef goes back to 2006’s South Park “Cartoon Wars” callback, with both shows trading jabs—manatees vs. improv sets—ever since. MacFarlane admits he’s never really understood the “venom” from Parker and Stone, chalking it up to taste differences rather than personal animus. Meanwhile, fans of the naked gun rejoice: his big-screen reboot hits theaters now.
