Family guy these days, The Simpsons were alot funnier when I was younger, Family Guy is more adult humour I'd say (ok I'm questioning the last bit as I write)
You cant compare the two, the simpsons is a harmeless childs programme whereas family guy is a controversial ill mannered programme, family guy should be compared to south park.
Simpsons had an iffy patch a few years ago, but I feel it has picked up again since the HD era, and some of the most recent stuff has been back to it's best
Family Guy is appallingly offensive but utterly hilarious. Probably more laughs per episode than South Park and that's despite the fact that I don't get a lot of the cultural references in Family Guy.
A funny programme marred by 'kin; awful opening credits. Thought Peter as the police sketch artist was hilarious. It is possibly the funniest thing at the moment, but that's not saying much because there's been a dearth of good comedy really. American Office is the only thing I can think of and tbh that's gone downhill recently.
Looking forward to the release of Life's Too Short, which may well become the funniest thing on tv and Series 8 of Curb Your Enthusiasm which if it's half as good as the previous 7 will blow Family Guy out of the water.
Simpsons is quality. Funny & very clever with some of its storylines and does not cross the line so that kids cannot watch it as well as adults.
Started watching Family Guy when we bought the box set for my son. Much more in your face, more laughs per episode than Simpsons. Brian, Stewie & Death my fave characters.
Family Guy is superb adult humour. Simpsons is superb humour suitable for older kids through to Adults. Both a great just different. Futurama is more age similar to Family Guy - just not as good.
Family Guy is more directly comparable to American Dad. I prefer Family Guy.
As for South Park - very sharp, very adult and a complete one off in my book.
Of all of them I think I have to go for Family Guy as my favourite.
Family Guy isn't as funny as it used to be - but then, neither is the Simpsons - and Futurama is dreadful since it's comeback. The most consistently funny 'adult' animation I've ever seen is Duckman - criminally ignored masterpiece with Jason Alexander voicing the main character. Absolutely hilarious, every episode.
I've always though South Park is shit - never 'got' it (though I seem to be in a distinct minority)
Love watching the double bills of both family Guy and American Dad, didn't realise that the same bloke does Peter, Stewie and Quagmire.....and that Stewie's voice is based on Rex Harrison.
Classic Simpsons episodes can't be touched imo. 'You only move twice' is simply the best cartoon episode I've ever seen. I also prefer South Park's humour to family guy, too many random clips and never ending politics from Brian put me off.

Both brilliant.

Thought Family Guy was great up to about season 5 but has been hit and miss since. Simpsons has been back to its best the past couple of years.
American Dad beats both by a long shot. Stan Smith is the man
The relationship between homer and flanders is genius and such a loving thing.
Family guy is like a quick laugh - farce type.
