[2/16] Simpsons v Family Guy

But was it actually dealing with the issues (the way that say, South park does) or merely referencing them in a quick one off sketch that wont be comprehensible in 10-20 years time. There's a massive difference

Does anyone actually like the interminable Conway Twitty sequences in Family Guy? They must confuse the feck out of their homophobic chav demographic.

I still have no idea what they mean or why they are supposed to be funny.
 
The St Patricks episode came out over here first before in America which is a bit surprising.
 
The Family Guy Terri Schiavo musical is fecking hilarious
 
I hate Family Guy. Clips from it out of context can be funny, but the style of it - "That reminds me of the time when...*parody of TV show or film*" every minute really gets annoying.
 
I love that the Simpsons gets slated for going on for too long yet Family Guy doesn't get any hate for it's quality dropping MASSIVELY the second it returned. It was probably a bigger drop than the Simpsons, and the Simpsons was hugely superior in their peaks and had a peak that lasted longer than what? 50 episodes?

So yeah, Simpsons all ends up. Family Guy was the better show when it started and it was airing with Simpsons fading off initially, but overall it's not close.

I prefer American Dad to both of these shows at the moment. Although obviously old Simpsons is superior to most anything.

NOTHING beats the old Simpsons.

You watch the Cat Burglar episode and I dare you to find a funnier episode of any other cartoon, ever.

Absolutely, the first 3 seasons of Family Guy were good. Then the writers got lazy or ran out of ideas and it devolved into random shit.

South Park's manatees nailed them - it's become a series of unconnected gags tied together with a really poor narrative. Compare that to their first 3 seasons, with episodes like To Live & Die In Dixie which were fantastic.

That said, all of them; Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, have all dropped in quality in recent seasons. That said, I'd take the Simpsons over Family Guy any day of the week but I prefer South Park over all of them.
 
I never cried / laugh watching FG and I admitedly got bored with the stupid high pitched yelling and yapping.

20 years onwards I still remember the episodes of Simpsons, I never did with any other.

Clearly.

The best and touchy scene for me is Homer's writting to Marge on the S3 episode "I Married Marge"
 
I would advise everyone to watch the premiere episode of Season 9 of Family Guy.

Its brilliant and an hour special. Murder mystery !
 
Family Guy is still pretty funny although I dont watch it regularly anymore it seems to be more than mildly amusing when it is on, at least in segments
 
But who rules Mash or Hogans Heroes that is the new question
