 Topic: South Park, Family Guy or The Simpsons?
Posted: July 06 2010 at 14:15 |
South Park!
The Simpsons are good too...
Some early episodes of Family Guy are funny, but for the most part I'm not a big fan.

South Park puts the other 2 to shame.

The Simpson's has become a bit tiring. South Park as well. The Family Guy has this juvenile sense of humor that still works for me.  If there's nothing better out there to watch on TV, I gravitate to it, probably most likely because there isn't anything better out there to watch.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Family Guy is pretty terrible
South Park is brilliant
but seasons 3-8 of The Simpsons were the greatest achievement in television history (seasons 1,2, 9, and 10 were damn good as well)
usually this topic (which continues to pop up) sends me into an extended rant about how The Simpsons has been violently and graphically defiled (wanted to use the stronger word but figured I'd get in trouble) over the last 10 years but I don't feel like it today

I'm voting for Family Guy, simply because it's under-appreciated here, and won't last long.
However, South Park is the only show on the poll with true balls.

South Park is quite funny, but only in small doses. The first three seasons of Family Guy are gold, pure gold. The third-eight season of The Simpsons are marvellous. Vote goes to The Simpsons. Their good stuff is better than Family Guy.

Exactly this.
Though I would add:
The Simpsons are better to watch as a fun series, they have good plots.
Family Guy however is by far more hillarious in my opinion, the plots are pretty aimless, and that's what I like about it.
I haven't watched enough South Park to have a good opinion about them, but one thing that I know is that I'm not fond of the show.

Family Guy is absolutely terrible. Simpsons are okay. South Park has some brilliant moments so... South Park.

Overall: Simpsons hands down Currently: Family Guy. Yeah yeah hate on it, esp being a prog site filled with people needing to hate popular things but its funny, and clearly not "intelligent" but a lot less stupid than people prob think. However, this is only because Simpsons have lost in IMO (inevitable) And same with South Park. Was a time that I watched it religiously, brilliant stuff but it too has lost it for me. My fav shows on TV are Venture Bros and ATHF!

Oh yes.
Funny thing: Used to hate the show
And even though FG is the freshest of the 3, it is very close to "losing" it for me as well.
Thank god for those crazy living foods....
