They are both awful but American Dad! at least has less of a reliance on such formulaic joke telling scenarios. And Roger is a great character. If that's the name of the gay alien. I get confused.

Family Guy is just embarrasing. It looses most of it's entertainment value once you finish puberty and begin to understand the more subtle humor in both The Simpsons and South Park.

Mm, I picked American Dad because of the better characters. There at least seems to be some [albeit very predictable RAH AMERICA'S BAD AND EVIL RAH] politics and message to the show, rather than directionless swipes at celebrities.

Family Guy was great the first four seasons. But it's really gone down hill. As has The Simpsons. I've never been an American Dad fan.


South Park, however, cracks me up.

Family Guy has gone slightly downhill, but I still love it. The Simpsons on the other hand, is nowhere near as good as it was, the new episodes are awful

For the last few years I agree but I think Simpsons is really starting to pick itself up again, although I watch it more out of tradition rather then a real love for it these days.

I love South Park but the past one or two seasons have been off apart from a few instances. Family Guy's the same really, American Dad is quite consistent though.

I think I'm the opposite, I was still enjoying it when people first started saying how it was going downhill, but recently I think it's been a lot poorer.

The writing has severely gone down hill. They took 'random moment' characters like Herbert the Pervert and the Monkey in Chris's closet and completely overused them. It's gotten so bad as of recent that they cut away to a 6 minute clip of Conway Twitty. They tried that once for 20 seconds and it was funny. It really shows they're grasping at straws. The show really is not up to par with the first three or four seasons.

I can't really comment on American Dad's quality, as I don't go out of my way to watch it anymore.


I do kind of like the Cleveland Show, though. It reminds me of the "Post-Return" early Family Guy season. It's not bad.
