Great job, with MORE "personality" than Seth McFarlane did it here. The movie clip is on TH-cam, if you want to search for Robert Preston's version.

      This is one of the things I love about Family Guy. MacFarlane is obviously a voracious consumer and lover of popular culture and crams as many references as he can into every episode. He could probably do a spot-on impression of Robert Preston if he wanted to, but he seems to be trying to avoid that, but his performance is obviously informed by Preston's.

      @@robertschoonmaker750 it matters from a continuity sense because during the time period when this musical took place, billiards was considered a gentlemen’s game while pool was a game for hustlers. The correct line is “sure I’m a billiards player - mighty proud to say it.” He’s drawing a distinction between billiards and pool; gentlemen and hustlers. He’s a gentleman, and the guys playing pool are trouble. By saying he’s proud to be a “pool” player, he accidentally undermined why anyone should believe him. It was an easy mistake to make, but I doubt most people there even realized it.

I'm not at all worried about a possible "Carrie Underwood in the Sound of Music" situation happening. he is an actor, grant it a voice over artist more than anything but it means he's at least coming from some area of performing as a character and he understands how to be other people, he just needs to get his feet wet with live theatre. I don't think it'd be too much of a challenge for him. especially in a role like Harold Hill who's always "putting on a show" I do understand that'd he'd be a big risk for broadway but I think it'd be one that would really pay off in the long run!

    A pool table, don't you understand?
    Friend, either you're closing your eyes
    To a situation you do not wish to acknowledge
    Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated
    By the presence of a pool table in your community
    Well, ya got trouble my friend, right here
    I say, trouble right in River City, why sure, I'm a billiard player
    Certainly, mighty proud I say, I'm always mighty proud to say it
    I consider that the hours I spend with a cue in my hand are golden
    Help you cultivate horse sense and a cool head and a keen eye
    Did you ever take and try to find and iron-clad leave for yourself
    From a three-rail billiard shot?
    But just as I say
    It takes judgement, brains and maturity to score
    In a balkline game, I say that any boob
    Can take and shove a ball in a pocket
    And I call that sloth the first big step on the road
    To the depths of deg-ra-day
    I say, first, medicinal wine from a teaspoon
    Then beer from a bottle
    And the next thing you know
    Your son is playing for money in a pinch-back suit
    And listenin' to some big outta town jasper
    Hearin' him tell about horse race gamblin'
    Not a wholesome trottin' race, no
    But a race where they set down right on the horse
    Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy
    Settin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil
    Well I should say
    Now friends, let me tell you what I mean
    You got one, two, three, four, five, six pockets in a table
    Pockets that mark the difference between a gentleman and a bum
    With a capital "B" and that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool
    And all week long your River City youth'll be fritterin' away
    I say, your young men will be fritterin'
    Fritterin' away their noontime, suppertime, choretime too
    Get the ball in the pocket, never mind gettin' dandelions pulled
    Or the screen door patched or the beef steak pounded
    Never mind pumpin' any water
    'Til your parents are caught with the cistern empty
    On a Saturday night and that's trouble
    Yes you got lots and lots of trouble
    I'm thinkin' of the kids in the knickerbockers
    Shirt-tail young ones, peekin' in the pool hall window after school
    You got trouble, folks
    Right here in River City, trouble with a capital "T"
    And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool
    Now I know all you folks are the right kind of parents
    I'm gonna be perfectly frank
    Would you like to know what kinda conversation goes on
    While they're loafing around that hall?
    They be tryin' out Bevo, tryin' out cubebs
    Tryin' out Tailor Mades like cigarette fiends
    And braggin' all about how they're gonna cover up
    A tell-tale breath with Sen-Sen
    One fine night, they leave the pool hall
    Heading for the dance at the Arm'ry
    Libertine men and scarlet women, and ragtime, shameless music
    That'll grab your son, your daught with the arms of a jungle, animal instinct
    Mass-staria
    Friends, the idle brain is the devil's playground
    Trouble (oh we got trouble)
    Right here in River City (right here in River City)

    Gotta figure out a way to keep the young ones moral after school
    (Our children's children gonna have trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble...)
    Mothers of River City, heed that warning before it's too late
    Watch for the the tell-tale signs of corruption
    The minute your son leaves the house
    Does he re-buckle his knickerbockers below the knee?
    Is there a nicotine stain on his index finger?
    A dime novel hidden in the corn crib?
    Is he starting to memorise jokes from Cap'n Billy's Whiz Bang?
    Are certain words creeping into his conversation
    Words like, like "swell"? (Trouble, trouble, trouble)
    And "so's your old man? (Trouble, trouble, trouble)

    As a student studying opera, it is a really interesting choice seth made by singing the last "pool" and moving to the "L" so early in the last note. It is much harder to resonate on the sound than it would be if he sang on the vowel. Opera singers are trained to maximize resonance so this would be "wrong" in most settings, but in a contemporary work like this and with a singer as talented as Seth, I'm pretty sure it was intentional. I love this choice.
