Seth MacFarlane has made quite the name for himself the last two decades or so. When Family Guy premiered in 1999, he was the youngest showrunner to have his own sitcom. That show catapulted him to stardom and he’s used that to expand his reach.

During the height of his fame, MacFarlane has produced, directed, written and starred in dozens of films, shows, and even video games. These range from hilarious projects that have become cultural icons, to less than favorable affairs. Whatever they are, it’s hard to deny MacFarlane's contribution to the world of animation and comedy. Here are ten of his TV shows and films (including one acting role) by Seth MacFarlane, ranked by IMDb score.

The Cleveland Show (IMDB 5.5)

Wait, he’s getting the spin-off?The Cleveland Show was MacFarlane’s third show, co-created by Mike Henry (who also voices Cleveland). This spin-off to Family Guy follows the Brown-Tubbs family as they live their life in Virginia. Results are mixed, to say the least.

The show fails to develop its own voice throughout its four-season run, as it tries to be a hybrid of the pop culture-filled antics of Family Guy and the more character approached humor of American Dad! but fails to do either. At least it gave Family Guy plenty of ammo for jokes once it got canceled.

A Million Ways to Die in the West (IMDB 6.1)

MacFarlane's second feature-length film was a parody of western films that also struggles to find itself. It is full of crude humor that aims to offend everyone without ever trying to say anything, like a backward version of someone trying to do a modern-day Blazing Saddles.

Regardless, the two leads, MacFarlane and Charlize Theron, are charming, though they can't do enough to save a weak script.

Ted 2 (IMDB 6.3)

While Ted 2 was not as big of a success as the first film, it still had some enjoyable bits and jokes... that were promptly spoiled in the trailers. Regardless of that, it is still a decent film that loses a lot of the spark that made the first film so great. The premise is a bit convoluted, as it borders on questions about humanity and mortality but it is still a decent time.

Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade Of Cartoon Comedy (IMDB 6.5)

Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy is basically a collection of loose sketches with no context or connection to each other. Basically, they act like individual Family Guy cutaway gags, without the actual episode connecting them. They premiered on YouTube and would later be released on DVD in an uncensored form.

It’s completely crude without needing to be and comes off as being incredibly unfunny. It features most of the Family Guy voice cast but lacks what makes Family Guy great. Overall, it’s a failed experiment in comedy that feels like a relic.

Ted (IMDB 6.9)

By 2012, MacFarlane had already dominated TV with three different sitcoms and was almost ready to host the Academy Awards. Before that, however, he released his first, full length, feature film, Ted. Ted details the life of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), who wished his childhood teddy bear, Ted (MacFarlane) to life.

It’s a funny take on coming of age films, full of the gross-out humor and pop culture references that MacFarlane fans have become accustomed to. It’s an endearing and fun film that never overstays its welcome.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (IMDB 7.0)

MacFarlane was also huge in 2008, so much so that he was a supporting player in Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army. Here, he voiced Johann Krauss, a German, disembodied ectoplasmic spirit with psychic abilities. He wears this wild containment suit and is sent to help Hellboy and crew.

The reason why this should get special notice is that not only is it an early film appearance, it’s one that is massive. His voice left the TV and was in a huge comic book movie in a year full of huge comic book movies (Iron Man and The Dark Knight).

American Dad! (IMDB 7.3)

After Family Guy was canceled for the second time, FOX gave MacFarlane another show called American Dad about the life of conservative CIA agent Stan Smith (MacFarlane) and his family. The first season struggled a bit to find itself but later on evolved into one of the funniest sitcoms in its own right.

Instead of taking from pop culture, it relies on the bizarre and extreme personalities of each character. Stan is a staunch conservative, his wife is bored, his daughter is a hippy, his son is a little pervert and they live with a talking alien who loves drugs, sex, and wearing costumes. It’s a truly modern American family.

The Orville (IMDB 8.0)

MacFarlane is a huge Star Trek fan, as evident by the barrage of references in his shows and even his appearances in the last two seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise. In 2017, he was able to make what seems like a true passion project with The Orville, a science-fiction show about a space crew aboard a ship of the same name and their adventures.

It’s not necessarily a comedy, instead, it’s a science-fiction show with humor thrown in and that’s what makes it interesting. MacFarlane tapped into what he liked about classic Trek and made a genuine show with those themes. It truly feels like he made something he waited years to do.

Larry & Steve (IMDB 8.1)

This was the short that birthed Family Guy. Larry & Steve premiered on the third season of Cartoon Network’s animation showcase What a Cartoon. This seven-minute short was about a dog named Steve, who is adopted by the bumbling Larry. Both characters are voiced by MacFarlane and both sound very similar to Brian and Peter, respectively.

This was the stepping stone for what Family Guy would be. It’s full of cultural references, clever wordplay and some biting sarcasm that the early seasons of Family Guy were known for.

Family Guy (IMDB 8.1)

For those who need a good, clean family man to set the morals of TV straight, they could do so much better than this show. What started as a Simpsons clone ended up becoming its own pop-culture juggernaut that influenced the way a generation of TV viewers would speak and grasp references.

Is it juvenile? Yes. Does every joke land? No. Is it funny? Absolutely. From the abundance of cutaway gags, to the musical numbers, to the now iconic cultural references, Family Guy is not only MacFarlane's greatest and most iconic show, but it is also easily one of the very finest sitcoms of all time.
