Job Posted October 24, 2003 What's your opinion on which is better? I'd have to say that Family Guy has made me laugh far more consistently than The Simpsons. Sure you, can say that The Simpsons has more "adult humor" but I'd say that Family Guy does too. Plus that show's been going a bit down hill for a good while. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vile Posted October 24, 2003 The Simpsons are a far more respectable show, even though I certainly enjoy Family Guy. It's a shame FG was cancelled since it didn't show any decline in quality at the end of its final (third) season, but pushing the limits of censorship was going to end the bold style of comedy eventually. 0 Share this post Link to post

You know it's still on Cartoon Network, right? And with a possibility of contracting for more episodes. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yeah, that was more in relation to the FOX censors though. :) It's even more interesting because apparently the episode banned from showing before, When You Wish Upon a Weinstien, is set to air on Nov 2nd. 0 Share this post Link to post
BlueSonnet Posted October 24, 2003 It's very hard to choose. I haven't seen too many of the recent simpson seasons but from what i've seen their pretty lame. Family guy usually has me peeing my pants laughing. I go for simpsons since i've watched it for ages (about 10 years now). 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted October 24, 2003 Simpsons is funny, no doubt about it, but as for the more likeable show, it has to be Family Guy, hands down. Whereas only a few of the Simpsons episodes made me genuinely laugh out loud, Family Guy usually makes me laugh every time I see it. So, Family Guy it is. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted October 24, 2003 I grew up on The Simpsons (Hell, I wasn't even in grade school when it first aired), but Family Guy was a lot funnier. I dare anyone to sit through an episode and NOT laugh. But still, I liked Futurama better than both. I mean, it even had an AYB reference. :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Darkstalker Posted October 24, 2003 I love both but I've been watching more Family guy recently. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted October 24, 2003 I'm not saying it was funny, it was just like "Holy shit, I thought I was the only one who knew that" (interestingly enough most people AREN'T internet junkies!) 0 Share this post Link to post

Manga Girl Marchelle Posted October 24, 2003 SIMPSONS most definatly, FAMILY GUY has more adult humor...... but pfft...... the SIMPSONS have been on longer and it's by Mat Groening, he is the master of comedy.... that "DOH" is so unforgettable........... 0 Share this post Link to post

Tobester Posted October 26, 2003 Personally, I was raised on Beavis and Butthead. Who can forget frog baseball? Or the tire? But since The Simpsons is syndicated to come on four times a day here, I'd have to say the Simpsons. Ultimate classic. Family Guy is pretty smeet tho. I thought they got cancelled for the pre-9/11 reference tho ...? 0 Share this post Link to post

Anyway, the censored scene with Stewie at the airport is hilarious IMO. Plus the "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SHAKE ME, SHAKE ME LIKE A BRITISH NANNY!" 0 Share this post Link to post
Nanami Posted October 26, 2003 They're both great shows, and I like to watch Family Guy when it's on (I've seen most of the Simpsons by now). I like Futurama though. 0 Share this post Link to post
