the simpsons is my favourite choice with futurama a close second then south park in third with song's like shut your f@ckin face uncle f@cker the songs are awesome....
I've gone for Futurama myself. You can't argue that the Simpsons is the daddy of all of these but it IS starting to show it's age now. I doubt any of the listed shows would last or will last as long as the simpsons but at the moment they are funnier. Futurama may have been cancelled but it's quirky look at what life will be like in the year 3000 is really funny and just allows the writers the ability to take the show wherever they want (if the had the chance). Family Guy is funny as fook compared to the simpsons and is like the bad twin of the two shows. A couple of years ago the simpsons couldn't be touched but has been left trailing by the new kids on the block lately... AND ANYONE WHO DISAGREES CAN BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS!!!!
Come on peeps - Family Guy strips the pants off ALL animated shows and buggers them with a 17" knobbler.
The wit, humour, timing and characters just completely batter all other shows.
I know many people like The Simpsons, and I admit I think it's always been a decent show. But it is NO-WHERE-NEAR Family Guy.
I know that FG follows the basic format of The Simpsons, but that is where the similarity ends. TS is a bit childish with it's humour, IMHO.
FG works on so many levels, and I have never laughed as hard at a show before. Infact, the only thing that made me laugh more was Monty Python's Life of Brian.
Anyone who hasn't seen FG - WATCH IT! You'll be rolling on the floor as long as you are bright enough to understand some of the jokes.
They should have stopped making the Simpsons when Futurama started. The Simpsons will never be beat, but Family Guy and Futurama are okay if there's nothing else on and you can't go out because you've got two broken legs and the front and back doors are on fire.
