Family guy

the original series of simpsons were pretty funny when you were young or whatever but when you see them shits now they're pretty garbage, they've dated, but maybe all new art forms have got to start simple.

like a fine wine, though, the simpsons has matured into a witty, original and well produced show. it is the most subversive piece of tv about and the beauty of it is that it is produced in the belly of the beast, under the often right wing and monopolistic Rupert Murdoch's C20th FOX.

Probably Simpsons... Futurama's really good too. But Family Guy... not seen that for ages, dunno if/when its on TV here?

I agree, the show started like another drawn dysfunctional family, but once more characters (townspeople) were brought into the show, there was more room for other litterary/media references and mockups, so yeah, eventually it matured into a very witty show. Then came seasons8 and up and the show just turned into adventures of Homer the big, fat Whiner ... man Fox has really turned every good show on it into garbage after just a few seasons :P Well, there's always the senseless jokes of the Family Guy to keep me laughing (and the occasional Futurama that I catch on TV)

Family Guy.

Although to be fair all three are hilarious.

"Family Guy" has too much singing in it, which, in my opinion, is rather annoying.

simpons are classic.. but family guy touches those more offensive subjects with an awesome twist. (religion, sexuality, feminisim)

oh and of course.. stuie is hilarious

umm wtf?

It's pretty fucking close!

But.. I personally think Simpsons shouldn't be up there with Futurama and Family Guy. If you look at the first few series of Simpsons, it's world class stuff. Very clever humour just like that of Futurama and Family Guy. They didn't try and get by on Homer making stupid noises, and Marge saying some of the most annoying ridicuous crap that she does in the later series. But where as Futurama & Family Guy both quit while they were ahead, Simpsons at around series 9 just completely ran out of ideas but kept milking it. Which is why if you take a look at the whole picture and not just the memorable earlier episodes, Simpsons has gotten very poor imo, and therefore does not deserve to be up there with Futurama and Family Guy.
