meant to post this yesterday but forgot! whilst having an afternoon nap (its a tough job being a full time benefit scrounger!) i came across an interesting debate on Radio 5 Live.

basically which do you think is best and why?

i'd go for family guy every time, i've never been into the simpsons and think people rave about it far too much. family guy is quality throughout - fantastic characters and writing laced with wonderful surrealism. and stewie... nuff said

Am I being thick or is there a thread on this already? Either that or it's just a discussion my friends have too much...

American Dad tops both especially for the line "Hayley, how about a punch in the face" purely because my name is Hayley haha

Family guy, I remember a rainy friday night a few of us sat in and watched a few DVDs. i can't remember what the joke was but it was really quite racist, and there was an awkward silence where we all looked about the room not sure whether it was ok to laugh or not before everyone burst out at the exact same time as if it were planned! I don't think anyone else but Seth McFarlan has the power to do that.

Well it was Family Guy, it wasn't really racist, it was just Family Guy. Non-PC (although i hate that term) would be the better way to describe it.

Well I'm watching McStroke just now and can't stop giggling... Seth Macfarlane is ace

Nefarious C think you all must be a'honkin' on your crack pipe.

The Simpsons has had so much more to offer. So much more original; Family Guy has it's moments but it's too reliant on non-sequiters. I like American Dad and South Park more.

it is like compairing apples to oranges

McStroke is my fave family guy episode ever, the bit where they do a parody of the monkees has me rolling on the floor every time!
