Family Guy.

Stewie >>>

[Tom4784]

American Dad wipes the floor with Family Guy. Every new episode I see of FG I end up laughing less and less. American Dad has the better characters and writing I think. FG relies too much on Stewie, Quagmire and random jokes that try to be funny by just being random.

I prefer Family Guy and I disagreed with people saying it had gone downhill from the first couple of series because IMO it had gotten a lot better, it had really found itself in terms of characters (making Stewie an outrageous homosexual > Stewie the matricidal wannabe ruler of the world) and the jokes were a lot sharper and it appealed to my sense of humour completely. I do think that the quality has started to go downhill though which I think is probably because of Family Guy family spawning American Dad and the Cleveland Show - the attention's on three projects instead of one. Plus add on the fact that Seth Green's had Robot Chicken on the go for a while, Mila Kunis has been making films and so on it's meant that the show's relied mostly on Seth MacFarlane voicing Brian, Stewie, Peter, Quagmire etc, Alex Borstein as Lois and the rest of the occasional cast like Patrick Warburton having to fill in for the lack of Meg and Chris for episodes at a time. At least that's how it seems to me, I don't know if that's the reality of the situation, but it just feels as though episodes are slowly being put out and are relying on purely Seth MacFarlane, and it's not great watching a one man show. It's gotten to the stage where I can watch a new episode and not even laugh once :/

I wish they'd do alternate weeks its annoying them showing both episodes one Sunday and then having a 2 week break.

Family guy.

I have less respect for Seth MacFarlane than the dirt on my shoes.

American Dad is infinitely better. The jokes are more satirical, more political and more to do with everyday eventualities, and the characters are much more naturally funny. With Family Guy it's just 300 cultural references in a clumsy attempt to draw attention away from the sheer fact that the show has nothing left to say. (not to say it's always been bad - I liked the first four series)

hiya Mr. Contradiction xxx

and I have to disagree about Stewie. The wannabe dictator was much more amusing than "oh lol he's gay x"

I didn't give American Dad a proper chance last time I posted in this thread, but now I have I think it's 100x better. I think the characters have been developed better, the jokes are better and the storylines are better.

Roger > Stewie

[LemonJam]

Yeah, I've watched some of the recent Family Guy episodes and... it's kindof painful to watch now. Rogers one of my favourite characters of all time.

[Doogle]

Easily American Dad. Family Guy has stopped appealing to me.

[Niall]

I haven't really found American Dad all that funny when I have bothered to watch it in the past. I just wrote it off as it being essentially the same as Family Guy but without cutaway gags and shizzle. :/

I might give it a chance. But I love Family Guy to bits. I can't wait for the new Star Wars episode. :')

[Stacey.]

Neither...

[Pyramid*]

Family Guy just beats AD.

[Josy]

I think both are awful.

[Iceman]

AD, Roger is pure gold

[MTVN]

Family Guy, and I dont really care if it isnt really that clever or anything, it's classic switch-your-brain off stuff

[Shaun]

always good to switch off your brain.
