Even though i love the Simpsons, i believe out of this list they are the worst.Even in there prime, if you take a single episode of family guy South park or futurama you get all the jokes from episode of the simpsons in the first five minutes of these shows. If it wasnt for there death, then i would say family guy or futurama would be the funniest, but south park is still staying strong, and they always stay consistant with there humour
i may almost agree with you guys, however, south park and family guy touched matieral that the simpsons would never even dream of confronting. Futurama may have been similar to simpsons but that is because of groening.He said the reason he chose to do futurama is because he had ideas for jokes that would not be accepted on the simpsons. I can see how you would relate family guy to simpsons because of the charactes, but the matieral is nothing like the simpsons. Every episode is packed with raunchy, risk taking humour that is done very smart. south park is the gran daddy of risk taking and innovation for a cartoon sitcom. Simpson may have started it all, but these shows improved on it. This is an instance where the student becomes the teacher
Well, The Simpsons had very rauchy and risk taking jokes for when it was new. However, unlike South Park and FAmily guy, it never relied on shock value to get noticed. It relied on solid, constant jokes.
Also, The Simpons was extremely moving in it's prime. Which is something that can't be said about any of the above shows. One minute you'd be laughing your ass off, the next minute you'd be moved beyond belief. The Simpsons true greatness comes from achieving both hilarity and touching moments all in the span of 20 minutes. Something the other shows often try to do, but fail to achieve, at least on the same level as the simpsons.
Id have to vote for the Simpsons. It has such a clever jokes and parodies, far better than others.
Futurama i love as well, its great.
Family Guy is alright, but its not as impressive as The Simpsons to me, its far simpler humour than the Simpsons.
South Park never impressed me so much, cheap and simple humour. I dont find it that funny.
I actually say Simpsons hands down, mostly due to the fact that they're still going strong. After so many years they can still pull out original laughs. Futurama and Family Guy definately had their moments, but lets face it, so did a whole host of shows before they fizzle out. SP was original, but after watching a string of episodes it seemed to have gotten dull, kinda relied on the same formula each time.
