Family guy steals? NEVER!

Wow, pretty weak.

[MikePizzoff]

Yeah, except in most of those examples Family Guy did it about 5 times funnier. So I'm not too stressed over it.

I was sure that when the family guy emerged as a major show that the simpson's were finished. That show is so much funnier. I guess there are still people out there who like the simpson's though. I sure as hell don't know any of them though.

tellus somethin' we didnt know, onyl reason no one complaisn though is cus family guy is a dman sight funnier than the simpsons.

Nyahhhh...The Simpson's have shown increased improvement in the second half of season 18, and then there's the movie which does look funny as poopy trim. Family Guy got really sucky at one point, I mean really sucky, partly down to WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OVERUSING that "it's like the time when" jokes. Then it got back on track...they're two different shows, though The Simpson's needs to regain it's original bite, and ditch a good portion of the sentimentality/crazy adventure plotting...which was what was happening at the end of season 18.

^ y'know since the family guy episode on south park season 6 (which aint out over here but check out the one that ends with peter in bed with bill clinton...yeah you heard me) have had almost no falshbakc jokes and rely a lot mroe on plot, even the jokes that ahve nowt to do with the plot occur were the characters are far more often. so unlike the simpsons the actaully trying new directions to improve, though so did king of the hill but thats still under the radar in comparison, still a great show though i tel'-yhu-whut. *sips beer*....yep.

I Admit the simpsons has gone downhill alot, but at its peak (season 2-10) it was the best show on TV by far. I just cant get into family guy, it has the odd good joke but i just dont like the "its like the time when..." humour. its TOO infantile, and this is coming from someone who loved beavis and butthead, ren and stimpy, rocko's modern life, 2 stupid dogs... legends of the animated world.

[MinionZombie]

Rocko's Modern Life!!! CLASSIC! (As were Ren & Stimpy). The Simpson's, as I've said before, is possibly starting to pick itself up again by ditching the adventure plots ("The Simpson's are going to...[insert destination]") and regaining a bit more satirical bite. The second half of the 18th season has shown this, I think after incredibly poor season showings throughout 15, 16 and 17, they sought about improving their output...so of course, with shows taking a long time to make from start to finish, that translates into the second half of season 18 where improvements are shining through. Although they haven't really spoken about it or really addressed it, they have sort of, they know their output has been poor of late and they were wanting to improve...well, seems like they might be doing just that in the second half of season 18...hopefully season 19 (bloody hell!) will continue this trend, and hopefully the Simpson's movie will inspire them to improve their TV show output.

They need to go back to family stories, not these whacky adventures, thats what killed the simpsons. They do real life but slightly exagerated so well, and thats what made them big in the beginning.

And that's where they have/are heading in the second half of season 18, it was more about Springfield again and the characters themselves, rather than location gimmicks...and it was a little less OTT on certain aspects. Part of the lure of the show was that it was kinda life-like, so they're clawing back a bit of that again. Heck, the episode near the end of season 17 about creationism in school was great, that's how a Simpson's episode should be...but also some good, honest fun - which they're getting back to as well (rather than gimmicks or OTT daftness). There was a gloriously traditional Simpson's style moment in "24 Minutes" where Millhouse and Homer were riding a dumpster around Springfield like a car, sounds cack from me, but it was genuinely funny. Hopefully season 19 will continue to regain lost ground and return to formulas and styles that work(ed).

They work more based on shock value imo. I can't count the number of times i was like, " they didn't just say/do that did they?" Sometimes i feel that it should be on adult swim. I definitely don't want my kids watching it.

[MinionZombie]

Ug, Adult Swim...teenage swim more like...there's nothing adult about it...still, Robot Chicken rocks.

[EvilNed]

Family Guy isn't funny, it's just Simpsons all over again. And I got so annoyed with all those "Remember that time when I..." jokes that would then instantly go to a flashback. Talk about beating a dead horse.
