Now THIS is freakin’ sweet. Seth MacFarlane has inked a new overall deal with 20th Century Fox TV that would make him the highest-paid writer-producer working in television.

The deal is worth more than $100 million and will keep MacFarlane at 20th TV through 2012. This is for Family Guy, American Dad, and the upcoming spinoff for Cleveland Brown; plus some other upcoming MacFarlane projects that we’ll soon be hearing about. Here’s what Seth has to say:

“I get a lot of pleasure out of making shows,” MacFarlane said. “It’s a bonus to be getting paid well for it, and it’s a double bonus to be getting paid exorbitantly for it.”

HOLY COW is this awesome or what!
