I actually love the man's work.  yep, I can be a stiff, button-down yankee but when it comes to calculated humor, I have always loved Family Guy since the day it aired.  Ted was OK but not his best work IMHO.  He's got mad skills that include writing, voice range and he's an amazing singer.  Of course my wife hates him but that's just further validation for me.  I'm looking forward to his barely FCC approvable comments.  I do think Hugh Jackman was great too.
