Season 3 was not good; it was heavy-handed writing and wasn't all that good drama.
It felt to me like there was someone, maybe the studio, reigning in MacFarlane since they weren't confident about his writing, then for S3 they let him have full control and it got bloated
It's almost incredible; Seth needs to not be on screen and he needs to just seed some control.
Just fyi it’s “cede” control
And you’re totally right about Seth.
I think he's fine as a writer and an actor, he just needed someone to tell him to cut the scripts down to a reasonable size
