Which is better? The Simpsons? Family Guy?

Currently, I'd say Family Guy. A lot of the new episodes of the Simpsons are hit or miss. They were funnier back in the day, but now they are in like season 18 and not quite as good.

I personally like the Simpsons better. But, I like Family Guy, too. Family Guy likes to step over the line a lot more than the Simpsons in which the humor is sometimes more subtle and sarcastic. It seems like Family Guy almost wants to push every button out there, which I know a lot of people like.

I prefer the Simpsons but I like both. The thing with Family Guy is that the jokes are pretty much interchangeable, they don't really have much relevance to the plot. And while Peter is funny, he can never measure up to Homer Jay Simpson.

Thats a hard one for real. I'm a huge fan of the simpsons's old episodes b4 they went digital but family guy reigns supreme stewy and peter r just hilarious!

Family guy hands down.Family guy is one of my favorite shows.The simpsons got boring fast after about 10yrs on tv it's time for something new.

Errrrm....I have to lean towards Family Guy, but they are both great shows. Family guy tends to push the envelope, or more often take the envelope, smashes it, rips it, crumples it, sets it on fire and then releases a load on it. Also, the jokes tend to be funny in an awkward sort of way, but have alot of depth and genius to them despite significance.

The Simpsons is a hit or miss kinda thing that starts out the same way every episode (blank blank blank leads to something insanely different than what the episode started with like homer wrecks his car so bart and homer become con artists with barts magic kit) and it can get kind of boring and lose its funny. Sometimes I catch myself thinking "why am I watching this again?"

While I do prefer Family Guy, I wouldn't say that one is better than the other. They both have their own brands of humor.
But, you gotta give props to The Simpsons. They paved the way so shows like Family Guy can exist.

Neither are really great in my opinion. I use to love the Simpsons which was hilarious and I loved it. Now it's just more of a I watched the episode and wasted 30 mins of my life. Family Guy I'll give is funny, but only for more teenish to adults. A lot of jokes and inappropriate stuff. Still they're both something to pass the time.

i like family guy, but with so many reruns going on with both of them watching it is beginning to be a bit drag to me now.

But all in all, family guy is a better show. I like the spoofing. and stewie.

The simpons is a better show imo. Family guy just tries to hard a lot of the time with and overdoes a lot of stuff which is annoying. But some episodes are classics like the starwar ones and is better then any simpsons episode out there But there others that just suck and I dont care to watch again. But overall the simpsons is a better show.
