THE FOX AND THE SOUR GRAPES
As if it wasn't enough for Jim Keeshen to sue Seth MacFarlane, he also had to take credit for the Family Guy pilot where credit was not deserved. In spring 2006, Jim Keeshen published online in his ET2 Storytelling course syllabus that he both produced and directed the Family Guy pilot pitch. The credits to the pilot clearly state that it was "created, written & directed by Seth MacFarlane." To make matters worse, Keeshen passed out copies of the Family guy scripts, calling them a "piece of shit."
