Simpsons or Family Guy which is better? Why?  |
|
 I just don't get it. I've had so many people pop up in my life that just absolutely adore Family Guy. I really can't stand it. The whole show just seems like a low brow version of The Simpsons to me.
I have even had people tell me that they can't stand The Simpsons, but that they love Family Guy. I even notice regularly that many of the episodes of Family Guy are total remakes of older Simpsons episodes.
Am I really the only one that can see this? I just can't let myself believe that Family Guy is better than The Simpsons.

1.  krissy32 (170) | 7 months ago |  Ick! Simpsons is way better than Family Guy any day of the week. Some of the topics on Family Guy are just so revolting that I can't stand to watch it.

 bunnyhoover (223) | 7 months ago | Ick indeed. It seems that they sometimes recycle old simpson plots and trash them out for shock value. The vulgarity detracts from any intelligent message for me. Not that I hate vulgarity, it's just got to be clever. | |

| 2. amybabe21 (18) | 7 months ago | I prefer Family Guy! But The Simpsons is still awesome:) | |

|
| bunnyhoover (223) | 7 months ago | I'm glad you still know the awesomeness of The Simpsons.
What is it that you prefer about Family guy though, have I missed something?
I just want to know other peoples opinions.
Thanks for your response. | |

| 3. livewyre (1011) | 7 months ago |  I do enjoy the Simpsons, but family guy appeals to my British sense of humour far more - it's quite dark and ironic in places whereas Simpsons is more immediate. I think American Dad is in a similar vein... - you laugh at the characters rather than what they are doing... I end up talking to work colleagues the next day about the whole plot of a Family Guy episode, I am far less likely to do that with an episode of the Simpsons. Family guy has 'remade' all sorts of shows including Star wars - imitation sincerest form of flattery and all that...plus it has Adam West as the mayor - top that Homer!

| bunnyhoover (223) | 7 months ago | Adam West does indeed rock! But Homer has that darned crayon stuck in his brain, he is too adorable.
I did laugh a bit at the Star Wars parody. | |

4.  ravinskye (6062) | 7 months ago |  I definitely like the simpsons better. Family guy has its funny moments but it will never match the comedy genius of the simpsons. One thing I've noticed about family guy is they throw a lot of stuff into the story line that just doesn't make any sense and it isn't funny either. I think simpsons is written better. There is a reason why simpsons is still going and family guy was cancelled.

|
|
| bunnyhoover (223) | 7 months ago | I totally agree, but I didn't know that Family Guy had been canceled again. That is crazy, I really thought FOX would milk that one forever. | |

| 5. magicman22 (36) | 7 months ago | I much prefer The Simpsons compared to Family Guy. The Simpsons has been on for 20 years now so it must be doing something right. I find Family Guy to copy too many things and to be too low-brow. I can see the humor in Family Guy but the Simpsons is definitely better. Perhaps it is the fact that Family Guy is a newer series that makes it a favorite of some people. | |

| 7. wildcat48 (384) | 7 months ago |  to me niether one i won't let my husband watch simpsons or family guy .i told him he act stupid enough,with out watching that s--t they need to take both off.

| bunnyhoover (223) | 7 months ago | I don't understand how you could view The Simpsons as stupid. It seems to me that for more than a decade it has been one of the most intellectually driven tv shows there is. The Simpsons constantly challenges pertinent social and political issues in a very clever, understandable, but subtle way.
The lesser intelligent characters are suppose to juxtapose the complex stories and highly intelligent content with real life american stereotypes. Homer for instance is just about as dumb a hick as every dumb hick I've ever met. It's a great portrait of the crud that keeps driving the united states.
I am really impressed that you spoke your mind so honestly. I wish more people were brave enough to say what they really want without holding back. Oh and if you really want to make sure your husband doesn't get any more stupid, keep him away from garbage like American Idle or Survivor and especially Lost! Get him some Star Trek instead.

| 8. strawberrycherry (33) | 7 months ago |  I grew up watching the Simpsons and I still try to watch every day. I think the humor is clever enough that you can either laugh because you relate to the family or laugh because you think the Simpson family represents what's wrong with America. Either way, Family Guy uses gross shock humor to get people's attention. And they throw in unrelated references to the 80s and stuff that will get people to laugh. It just seems so lazy. I'll watch it occasionally, but its easy to get sick of. If I want to watch something vulgar, South Park is where its at.

| bunnyhoover (223) | 7 months ago | heck yeah! South Park all the way! | |

9.  revellanotvanella (1938) | 7 months ago |  Maybe they have many of the same people that worked to create Simpsons in there and the humor leaks in. BUT I love the Simpsons but I must say the 90s Simpsons is WAY better then the new Simpson and Family Guy feels like Im taking nothing and just wasting my time--its just not funny to me and to me it seems like their trying to hard to be funny but maybe like another poster said, British humor? I love the car show over in Britian, thats hilarious, grew up watching You are being Served

| 10. simonjaymes (71) | 7 months ago |  I think Family Guy is better because it appeals to an older audience and has some funnier stuff, the simpsons bores me now and is just predictable on what is going to happen, Family Guy shocks me with some of the stuff they put into the show which is why i like it better than the simpsons.
