Thread: simpsons/family guy/futurama/south park or american dad???

Have personally gotta go for American dad over FG just on the basis it doesnt have endless clips that dont advance the plot

Family Guy is the best!

And it is best not to argue with Diane. I mean, have you ever seen her emoticons?

I love Family Guy, but voted for the Simpsons. Yeah the have faded over the past few years, but once in a while they still come out with a gem.

Longest running primetime show in the history of TV right?? Remember how crazy and off the animation/voices were way back....Crazy

Simspons in the early-mid 90's was a beast! From late 90's on it has sucked imo, havent tried watching it in years. But in it's prime I thought the Simpsons was the best.

Winner with me is without a doubt South Park. Not only do I think it is the funniest, but it is easily the most high brow of all the shows. Its pretty much the only show on tv I'll make an effort to watch. I dont watch much tv.

I think Family guy is the same joke over and over, just presented in slightly different ways. I cant keep attention to watch a full episode of it

I love the Simpsons but right now South Park is on top because they are funny but also tell a moral story which is usually a recent big issue in life and makes it being funny and a little warped even better.


Family Guy and American Dad are just Seth Macfarlane's nonsensical liberal blatherings. The Simpsons always has SOME liberal views and I understand and respect it but Family Guy berates and belittles anyone who doesn't share the same views of Seth Macfarlane....he uses those shows to grandstand and I am just tired of his same old "You think THAT's bad....what about the time _____________" or "This is almost as (good, bad, easy, hard, fun, etc.) as the time ____________"


Futurama is ok...I'm not a huge fan.


Aqua Teen and Venture Brothers and Frisky Dingo are funny as hell though

I like Futurerama best, Family Guy used to be my favorite but they get over board with how stupid Peter is. I think Bender is what makes me such a Futurerama fan.

The Simpsons

Yeah I think it has been on for 20 years. Imagine that!!

Homer and Bart both had different voices and even looked different back in the beginning. I think it was the third season they settled in for the right look and sound.

There is an episode of Futurama (or part of it) from Season 5, which I first saw last year on youtube, that got me hooked on the show. It is the ending to the episode called "Jurassic Bark". It was probably one of the most sentimental moments I have ever seen on tv, or even movies.

For the last 1/2 hr or so I have been searching for it, the 4-5 mins or so of what it would take to capture it's brilliance, but apparantly Groening and Co. have wiped it off the internet.

So I am right now DL'ing the whole episode. I'll edit it tomorrow, then upload it, and put it up here. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then it is a must watch. If you do, and you 'get it'...then you'll be here to see it again.

...I can't stand that episode dude....it's too fucking sad.....Youngblood, I don't have it in me to feel sorry for people I don't remotely come close to knowing when I have enough trouble keeping myself happy.


My dog biff is my first dog I've ever had and I don't even want to think of the day he's going to as my brother puts it "run off and join the circus"....that sounds better than the reality of the situation doesn't it?

ALL good but family guy is best for me.

Yea Lyle, I hear ya. I had a few pets I was told "'sent them to a better place...a farm! I'm sorry. But now they can run all day and with other animals, and chase butteflies with other puppy dogs! and eat steak bones until they tire of it!"...etc...

One in particular was what brought me to my connection with this episode. I found him a few years back, frozen in a snowbank awaiting garbage removal day by accident, after following the footsteps leading out to behind the shed. His name was Fred. Met with a chevy or w/e on the road and my dad didn't have the heart to tell me.

Was my best friend for 6 years, so, yea.

I think this episode captures that feeling well, pet or not, and yes...I just watched it...and it made me, erm, think. So I'm going to post it tomorrow.

I voted family guy, but after seeing blue harvest last night nearly wanted to change to South Park. Family guy is funny due to the flashbacks, which is the best thing about the show. Southpark is great because it pushes people to the point that it's funny, like the morman episode "dum dum dum dum" haha classic. Those two are my favourite followed by american dad, futurama and then simpsons. Sort of grown out of that show now.
