Seth MacFarlane says he didn't agree with Fox's lawyers shutting down the made-in-Toronto onstage spoof The Swiss Family Guy Robinson earlier this year. The touring one-man show by Brian Froud had precedent to lean on - Rick Miller's MacHomer, a twist on Macbeth that Simpson's creator Matt Groening had seen and given thumbs up to. "I never saw (Swiss Family Guy), but I did make a call to Fox to say 'For what it's worth, my two cents, I think you just oughtta let the guy do it.

"I just feel in this day and age with the Internet, because of the enormous exchange of information, intellectual property in some weird way feels public. I just don't see how anything like that hurts the studio. Their point of view is we open the floodgate, it sets a legal precedent. But it's a little different than bootleg Stewie t-shirts.
