I can't believe Fox would insult "The Simpsons" - its greatest contribution to popular culture and satirical art - by pairing it with a show that doesn't have a third of its wit or originality.

The Simpsons is no longer deserving of respect. The current batch of writers (and there have been many batches of writers over the years) are unfunny, squishy liberal hacks who are merely living off the good reputtaion that the show has made for itself over the years.

"Worst writers ever."

Never liked 'Family Guy.'

I don't think it's been funny since Phil Hartman was killed.

Actually I think they went through a phase they weren't as funny but it's gotten better over the past year. Wouldn't say they're liberal either. Just willing to lampoon about anything and everything. For example, after reading the synopsis on the episode after the Super Bowl this weekend, that one may be pretty funny

Family Guy is a staple at college. Personally, I think it's a great show, but that's just me.

The Simpsons, unfortunately, is in a sustained decline. I held out hope that they would make it to 20 seasons and then call it quits, but I don't know if it's got enough gas in the tank. The episodes have been hit or miss lately. I prefer watching the older episodes from the mid to late 90s when the show was in its prime.
