    It's one of the funniest shows i've ever seen. I don't watch it as much as I watched it before but every time I switch channels, I catch it from time to time.

    If you were a kid or a young adult in the early 90's, then you know that the Simpsons must be discussed in this conversation. The Simpsons has fallen off big time, but when we discuss the GOAT of any category, we need to remember things in their prime, as well as their influence. Speaking of influence, while Family Guy has since developed their own unique characters, their starting point was this: A fat stupid working class drunkard with a too-good-for-him stay at home wife, 3 kids, one of which is a baby. Sound familiar?

    Other shows that give Family Guy a run are South Park and King of the Hill. King of the Hill is extremely slept on, and I think a lot of people thought it was just dumb redneck humor, but it was actually one of the wittiest and cleverest shows on TV.

    In regards to the Boondocks, I think it's one of the best comedies (animated or live action) on tv right now, but all the other shows I mentioned have had a ton of great seasons, and Boondocks is still in their third. I'm going to hold off on considering them at this time.

    It'd make my Top 10 list, but the GOAT? No, that would probably have to be The Simpsons. Family Guy, South Park, and every other show of that ilk could never have existed without The Simpsons.

    But any true Top 10 list has to include the great-granddaddy of them all, The Flintstones. A lot of people don't realize that The Flintstones aired in prime-time during its original network run, and it was aimed at adults, not kids.

    look, Simpsons in its prime was arguably the best TV show EVER.....

    that said, i think Family Guy ? up Simpsons in retrospect. When FG first came out with its jokes about Stewie murdering Sesame Street characters and John Wilkes Booth Mentos commercials, Simpsons was just never the same.

    What did it for me is the South Park episode aimed at Family Guy. They absolutely obliterated Family Guys gimmick. From that point on I knew SP was nothing to ? with.

    family guy is the jay z of animated sitcoms. it's def most recognized, a ratings beast and has def stolen material to get there. i personally think american dad is funnier and certainly there is no family guy without the simpsons.
