Haven't watched the Simpsons in years, Family Guy has gotten pretty bland the last 6 years or so, I myself prefer American Dad.
2 of the tiest shows on TV these days, which one is worse, in your opinion?
I find it sad how Futurama can't find a network to air on while these 2 fests continue to get primetime TV slots..

The Simpsons is worse just for the longevity of its suckitude.... that show has been trash since season 9, yet season 26 is about to begin this fall
I just looked it up, and Simpsons season 26 is going to begin with one of the major characters being killed off.... need I say more
I can't decide which sucks worse nowadays, Family Guy, or McFarlane's even tier ripoffs of his own show (Cleveland Show, American Dad, etc.).... his material hasn't been funny in years and just panders to the lowest common denominator, tbh....
Simpsons really fell off after Conan left and bottomed out after Dana Gould left.
Family Guy's formula was stale after the third season back and gets worse every time I see it.
Bob's Burgers puts both to shame now.
Family guy but mostly due to the fact McFarlane had used its success, to parlay it to more crap as someone posted here his rip off. He's basically Tyler Perry but for the lower common denominator.
Family Guy has openly copied the Simpsons.. look it up on YT
I agree with what everyone's saying. Also, Futurama's newest run a couple years ago was pretty dull. South Park has become basically just a topical story every week although the comedy is on the incline the past season or so. And Seth Macfarlane is Tyler Perry for whites AND blacks. If what Matt Stone and Trey Parker always say is true, and I'm assuming it is considering his ty shows are everywhere, he gets crazy numbers. Bottom line, King of the Hill was never the side splitting comedy but it also never sucked
They're both terrible, but Simpsons has been unwatchable since mid 1998 after being incredible until then.
eventually Lisa became the little liberal y voice of reason. She became the end-all be-all commentary. It's the same path Modern Family is going with Alex minus the politics
I agree
Futurama is pretty good IMHO
I've never kept up regularly with either show, so if I occasionally catch one it's pretty damn funny. Same with South Park. I've never watched an episode of Futurama.
Alot of the episodes that focused on Peggy were pretty bad tbqh. Only complaint with the show
It turned to earlier than 1998, tbh.... "The Principal and the Pauper" was the end of The Simpsons as a watchable show....
The one where Peggy thought that Mexican telenovela star wanted to bang her was pretty ing hilarious. But yeah,
King of the Hill >> Family Guy = Simpsons = NCIS = dog
Oh ok, that was the specific turning point where it went from greatest show ever to biggest piece of ever almost overnight. I thought that was in 98, not 97.
NCIS is indeed terrible.... CBS knows their audience is a bunch of elderly neocons who have forgotten how to change the channel, so all they do nowadays is make military porn for them
Concur.
Simpsons after being great has sucked for years.
I watch an ep about once a year to see if it's turned around. Nope.
Family Guy i did not watch till about 3 years ago. I lasted about 10 minutes til it's low brow got redundant.
American Dad i have not kept up with.
One of the better eps was when Stan kidnapped the kids of a gay couple and was trying to drive them to Nebraska. Nebraska at the time was a no flamer marriage state.
Family Guy was finished after the 1st season, and that was like 7 episodes.
Can't speak about presently. But Simpsons lost it's mojo when Family Guy came onto the scene. Family Guy was the Cocaine version of Simpsons.
It's interesting to read in this thread that Lisa is now a major focus. I remember vividly when the focus of the show shifted from Bart (Remember the Bart Man song) to Homer.
Family Guy kinda stole the concept by focusing their show on the even dumber Peter.
I took me a few months to get into American Dad. But it is well rounded with the Alien, Fish and also Family. The father isn't a complete empty head like Homer or Peter which adds an angle.
from the little I've seen it's still the same "Robot Chicken disguised as a sitcom" type humor.
Yes that's an accurate critique. Fortunately it hasn't jumped the shark yet so episodes still follow a general plot.
They need to bring back King of the Hill.
Shocking
Family guy was incredible for its first few seasons and since macfarlane tried to branch out his effort in FG waned and the quality dropped fast. Futurama was always much more clever than family guy. Simpsons has simply been around too long
American Dad is so far above Cleveland Show and now even Family Guy IMO. I haven't watched the Simpsons in at least 10 years.The Simpsons is worse just for the longevity of its suckitude.... that show has been trash since season 9, yet season 26 is about to begin this fall
