I have to admit, Family Guy is the next Simpsons. The Simpsons were the best for a long time, like Michael Jordan, but now its time for a new king, FAMILY GUY!

Had you asked me a couple years ago, I would have said the Simpsons. Bart is funny, Homer is stupid, Marge is the epitome of house wife, and Lisa is everything I want in a girlfriend. It was such a great show because it played upon the extremes of society. Homer was the eptome of male stupidity, Marge was the epitome of the nagging housewife, Lisa was the smart one with the superiority complex *coughgamermancough*, Bart was the mischievious child, and Maggie... she was the underestimated power of babies, I think. Every character held a huge stereotype, but in a fairly subtle way most of the time. This not only built up a strong sense of character, but was also hilarious, sinse we are all like that sometimes. Except perhaps like Maggie, she is kind of a prodigy/ place for the writers to throw experimental jokes. Sadly, after years of this, they used everything up, there was nothing much funny left to make fun of in american culture. Sometimes they can still strike something that is hilarious, but mostly they just went downhill.
Family Guy, on the other hand, although also showing extremes of society, took the more "adult" versions of these stereotypes. This includes blatant sex jokes, completely offensive racism, women bashing, etc. You know, the funny stuff the simpsons could never do, since they were on a public station. So, even though these shows are basicly the same thing, Family Guy can take the next step forward, the step into true adult comedy. So, despite my still partially intact net of morals, I think that Family Guy is probably the funnier show. Thats why I was suprised when American Dad flat out sucked. I'm really hoping it was first episode woes.

The one's on FOX probably wont be very funny. There are actually a number of episodes on Adult Swim that couldn't be played on FOX due to regulations. Just saying that it wont be the same.

Yes but Fox can still show them, and in fact they had cancelled family twice before and this is the 3rd (i belive) but Fox didnt close family guy mainly due to its more adult properties but it was a factor, however fox saw how many of the family guy shows were being sold on DVD so they are bringing it back, it will probably be a bit different but most of the voices will still be there (Seth Macfarlene does Peter Stewie and Brian)
