The Simpsons have had some really good episodes, but others (some of the later ones) have been a little off.
Futurama is quite good but not always laugh-out-loud funny.
Family Guy is good but very very random - it'll do random and weird things to get laughs. So if you like that type of stuff (think Jim Carrey) then you'll think Family Guy is the best.
However, at the moment I love American Dad. It's funny, but it's also aimed at an older audience with it's jokes. I think it's the funniest.
But it all depends on the episode.
Clearly you don't read a whole lot into the charater development of Family Guy. I love just about each and every character on that show! Each has their own personality and funny element to them.Blackguard_ said:A little off? Its downright horrible now. They should have cancelled it at least 7 years ago. It jumped the shark with "Who shot Mr. Burns?" 12 years ago, but was still good until the late 90's.
And I think thats a good thing, I prefer snickering humor to the "*bashes you over the head with a silly gag-a-minute*laugh goll darn it!!" style of the newer Simsons and Family Guy. I think its funnier becasue it doesn't seem like they are trying too hard. the characters and situations seem naturally funny, they don't scream "schtick and/or forced gag" like the other shows.
Thats why I hate the newer episodes. Where did people get the idea "random" was funny? Did Aqua Teen Hunger Force fry everyone's brain?
I think its just Family Guy MkII, but thats a good thing as its more like the older episodes. But it is simply inferior to Futurama. A big problem is the uninteresting characters, which was/is also a problem with Family Guy.
In that case, the simpons win for the "Beer Baron" episode.
Just because the Simpsons was first?Lvythn said:Simpsons. Other three are all knockoffs.
