The Simpsons by far. What I've seen of Family Guy I didn't find funny at all.

You don't get that stuff in the Simpsons.


But The Simpsons did have that episode where Martin played Thick as a Brick and the song was over the end credits.

And speaking of Tom Sawyer, in a Futurama episode Fry listens to it while playing Space Invaders.

Of course that's my opinion Wink
 
hope that's a joke
its Epic Movie humor, completely random with no meaning outside the occasional political cheapshot or an entire episode that must have been slapped together by Peta reps
I'm not saying the Simpsons has been tolerable, because for the last few years they haven't, but Family Guy is written by manatees

Not even close- The Simpsons

Family Guy gets way too many ideas from The Simpsons.

I think Argentina gives much more attention to Family Guy than the own Americans. Glad to hear another Argentinian progger to have the same taste on humor. We'll have to wait for El Bothy

It does just come down to different tastes. Family Guy's humor tends to get more sexual, and that's not to my liking.

And I'm a Simpsons fanboy anyway. I've seen every single episode anywhere from 5-50 times and I think Season 20 is one of the best seasons ever so far. Wink


I wouldn't say that Family Guy is a sitcom based on sexual jokes.  I find Family Guy to be more outrageous and more creative than The Simpsons jokes.

Agreed. I picked The Simposons though because it's the least repetitive.

There's only one cartoon I can stand less than Family Guy and it's The King of the Hill.
 
The Simpsons by miles.

The Simpsons of course.  20 years and its still funny.  Where as, Family Guy burned itself out after three short seasons.  I can't stand the show, or Seth MacFarlane anymore.  He runs on the same lame, drawn out non sequiturs as Season 1.  Yes the Simpsons do run on some of the same gags, but it works because they are actually funny and the characters are better and have been a part of our lives for so long now.  

Now King of the Hill is cancelled?  This is ridiculous because that show was still fresh and amazing, where as MacFarlane has two shows that suck and a third on the way.  Disgusting I say.
