He doesn't usually. He does a show until bored and leaves them to others. Family Guy for example he hasn't wrote or managed for years. Just does the voices and collects mad cash.

There's also a sharp dropoff in quality after season 10 (his last season of FG)

Whether there was or wasn't doesn't validate or invalidate the point I made.

Season 1-3 was just peak comedy. 4-10 fell off but was still very funny. After 10 I have no idea how people still watch family guy.

FG went downhill long before Season 10. S10 is just the point where it basically went on life support.

Whether that's true or not is irrelevant to the point I made.

He still produces family guy doesn’t he? Between that and the voices, it’s not like he has no clue what’s going on with that show lol

Not sure how much involvement he actually has as a producer now; TV shows that change to a new showrunner after the original creator has left entirely usually still give the creator a producer credit in basically an honorary sense. (I'm not saying that is necessarily the case there, but it happens fairly often.)

Credits are most of the time negotiated by agents so it’s part of the deal. For family guy he created the show so he will always have his name on the credits and collect a check even if he ditched the voice work and someone else replaced him
