cj_iow Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Which do you prefer? Personally i don't think there is anything out there funier than Family guy live action or animated. just wondered if i'm a minority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I dont know, very tough call, some Simpsons can be quality, then again Family Guy can be good as well. Ill go with Simpsons though purely because of their variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 The Simpsons would have got my vote five or so years ago, but Family Guy easily gets it now. The Simpsons was great until the late 90s, it has gone fairly downhill though, which is a shame, although it is (quite possibly) the greatest animated show ever. I just have much more interest in Family Guy though, it's cruder, more edgier, and it was great to see McFarlane's show return after Fox inexplicably cancelled it a few years back. Season 4 of Family Guy has been pretty good, but it's yet to reach the status of the third season which, IMO, was just gold. Oh, and Family Guy already has a movie, something which Groening and co. have yet to do for The Simpsons :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Simpsons. Just for what its done. At its peak, it really was the most ground breaking cartoon ever. If it wasnt for The Simpsons pushing animated comedy into prime time slots aimed at adults, its quite likely that the likes of Family Guy would never have existed.

NibblyPig Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I love 'em both. But if I had to choose, it would be The Simpsons -- because of the number of brilliant episodes that they've churned out; the classic episodes are nothing short of exceptionally funny (even after watching them 10-20 times); and for the reasons stipulated above by my learned brother The_Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristina Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Simpsons is the best thing ever on tv and has been going for 16 years, so many great episodes for us to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Erm I think you will find that King of the Hill is the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted August 7, 2005 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2005 Strangely enough I was discussing the merits of The Simpsons with the missus tonight. I was saying that there aren't many better programs on TV due mainly to the fact that The Simpsons is so consistently funny. I have seen most episodes and have very rarely been let down by any of them. My favourite btw is the 'Robot Wars' episode, absolute genius. So no surprise where my vote went.

NibblyPig Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 'Robot Wars' was funny... but nowhere near as good as "Homer Goes to College"... one of the funniest half hours of television ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj_iow Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 just checking? all the people that have voted have you seen both programes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NibblyPig Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Yes... and The Family Guy is very funny... but it's not the classic that The Simpsons is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted August 7, 2005 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2005 just checking? all the people that have voted have you seen both programes? I like both, but The Simpsons is imo a cut above most programs on tv, not just animated either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Ive even watched the Simpsons in Germany where they dub it (Badly) into German. Only speaking a tiny bit of German made no difference as you just knew some of the jokes and they make you smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisVillan Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I was a hardcore Simpsons fan for years but Groening and/or Fox should've axed it about ten years ago. Family Guy is absolutely class and gets my vote a thousand times over (or at least it would if I could be bothered to vote that many times).

USVillan Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I have to respect the Simpsons legacy, but for me it's Family Guy, hands down oh and NO sprinkles.... for every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
