alyien2k5 said:90s Simpsons episodes are way better than any of Family Guy's epsiodes. FG is such an overrated rip off of the Simpsons that relies on tried humour that usually involves 80s references most of their audience doesn't get.

The Simpsons seasons 2-10 are easily the wittiest, cleverest animated shows to have ever been made. This is not up for debate.
The Simpsons Seasons 11-15 vs Family guy seasons 1-4 FG is the edgier and funnier show.
The Simpsons seasons 16+ vs Family guy seasons 5+ = on par with each other.
Therefore overall there is no way it can be denied that The Simpsons, OVERALL is the superior show. It has simply affected changed and been part of our culture so much in the last 20 years. The reason The simpsons lasts is because you dont get the hjokes straight away, it takes several watches. FG jokes are easy, low brow and chilish, thats why they are easy to get. In this respect The Simpsons is the more adult show. Please note crude sex references and swearing does not make a show adult. I could swear when I was 7.
FG had something stupid but clever about it for the first 4 seasons, and the Simpsons was losing its edge, which meant for a few years FG could be argued as being funnier and edgier than the former.
I believe that to truely apprieciate the simpsons you will have had to have been born, in the 70's or 80's because otherwise you wont have understood the show before its later seasons, but will have got into Family guy around its inception or middle seasons.
Threfore todays FG fanbase which a lot of are between 12 and 20 will prefer FG because its what theyve grown up with.
However as someone whos lived through BOTH, I dont think this age old debate is worth argueing anymore.
There is simply absolutely and entirely no doubt that The Simpsons is the better overall show.
That is not saying however that every single period of the simpsons has been better than every single period of FG.

I understand that you think that you're smart because you use big words, but you're really not. I understand that you're trying to make an argument, but you realize that no matter how many times you say "That's a fact!" you're whole comment is still an opinion. I'm older than 20, and I've lived through both, and I proudly say that Family Guy is better. It's not all immature humor, and a good poop joke or random gag every now and then never hurt anybody. Simpsons can be funny, but it's often time less witty, more plot focus (which I don't want in an animated sitcom), and has oddly colored and designed character models. Family Guy has some brilliant action sequences, too, and isn't afraid to be as controversial as possible. Things like the "We'd support you South Park but we're scared" thing was cool and funny, but one of those rare moments that genuinely surprised me about Simpsons.
In the end, your argument doesn't hold much wait.

I got to the point where you said 'The Simpsons is less witty' and decided that you might as well have not written this post.
That very bit there indicates to any sane, intelligent person that you are wrong.
Yes it IS possible for an opinion to be wrong
If I said it was genuinely my opinon that world war 2 never happened, would that not be able to be called as wrong just because its my opinon?
I never said every single indivdual person thinks the simpsons is better.
I said the Simpsons IS the better show.
Thats not my opinon that is fact, backed up by the amount of awards it has won, the culture it has brought about and changed, and by the fact its been going for so long.
The simpsons IS the more intelligent and witty show, FACT. If you look up the definiton of witty you will see what I mean.
Im not trying to say here that you cant find FG better, there are plenty of people out there who enjoy that type of humour more, but the question was posed, which is the better show, thus undoubtably regardless of whether you prefer FG The Simpsons is always going to be the better show because of what its done.
Jesus, the very fact I said that 1-3 seasons of FG bettered the simpsons at that time is amazing enough, FG should know its place in history and that is second (or third as possibly south park could be called better) best.
Lumpysoadfan1 said:Wow, just wow. You know what made me laugh there?
I intentionally did not make a comment about your awful spelling because thats the weakest way to retort to someone in an arguement. For someone who spells weight as wait, how the hell could you make a blatently hypocritical comment like that? Seriously this is great because this is exactly the kind of intelligence( or lack of) and blindness that exactly proves my point.
Anyway, that insanity aside let me make it clearer again
-The Simpsons is the better overall show
-By definition of wit, The Simpsons is far superior
-FG was better than The Simpsons for a short period when the Simpsons went into decline
-Both shows are now very average on par with each other mostly.
-If you possibly think that The Simpsons seasons 3-8 were actually not as witty as FG, then I fear for you. But I dont think you do. I think you just see what the Simpsons is now and make that judgement.
I'm still laughing at you for commenting on my spelling though, which is actually as a result of hard to press keys hence why some letters dont appear.
However putting wait instead of weight is not a typo.
