Somebody had to make this thread :o

Which is your absolute favourite out of the above? Mine's definitely Family Guy. Some say the jokes are random and irrelevant to the plot, but that's EXACTLY why it's so laugh-out-loud funny!

Ehh... Family Guy is losing its touch. The Simpsons lost it years ago. I still love them. South Park is alright, but I don't find it particularly funny. Now, Futurama, there's some kickassery. The nerd jokes made it absolutely awesome, but unfortunately led to its demise :(

Whilst not a compulsive fan of any, I've picked Family Guy, mainly because of its "rewatchability".
If an early Simpsons came on for example, I wouldn't waste my time watching it again...

I had to go with the Simpsons. It lost it's touch sometime after season 12...but to go 12 seasons without a ----ty episdode is just unheard of. I wish they'd hurry up and end it before it's legacy is dead.

Overall, I think Futurama put out some higher quality shows, but just because it didn't have the Simpsons longevity, I couldn't say it was the best.

I like Family Guy, but it's overrated. And if you pay attention, they steal a lot of ideas from the Simpsons.

South Park, well, I fall in and outof love with that one. Right now...pretty ----ing awesome.

I'd have to say The Simpsons, it's just been such a great past time of mine, Family Guy has its moments, but Simpsons is just so classic.

i still prefer the simpsons over all because it is witty, and a little more adult, but i love ther other shows too. you should have listed American Dad in the poll too, it is great.

Logging in just for this crucial poll!

The Simpsons started going down hill Season 7/8, if you ask me. Still some decent moments from then though, but it's been a pretty terrible show for quite a few years now. But in it's prime, The Simpsons was pure genius, much like Futurama is most of the time. But Futurama just lacks something. Sometimes it's more funny, in a psychotic kind of way, but it's not as brilliant as the Simpsons.

I'm not a fan of South Park.

And Family Guy is the most unfunny show I've ever seen. Next to the Daily Show.

The Daily Show is awesome, you twat :p

American Dad is just awful. I'm glad it's not on the poll.

I think american dad gets alot of crap because it is fairly close to family guy due to it being created by the same people. But overall I think it is a pretty sweet show, it just doesnt have the re-watchability of family guy or futurama

and If you don't find family guy funny there is something wrong with you. The jokes and situations are hilarious. I challenge you to watch the episode 'stewie loves lois' without laughing

This is true. However Simpsons got back up on top around season 9 and has stayed there as far as I'm concerned.

Family Guy is so awesome, it's hard to describe. 'Let's hear it for over-coming adversity!'

South Park is irreverent for the sake of being irreverent, and then tries to justify it with kyle or stan summing up the 'real' message of the show at the end. It makes me sick.

If I voted in this thread, I would vote Futurama though. The foreshadowing in that show alone puts it at the top. In the very first episode, you can see nibbler's shadow, and the chips the professor puts in the crew came from a envelope that says 'contents of space wasp's stomach'. Jesus that is cool.

I like futurama. I think family guy is loosing it. The rest of them I don't really watch at all.

Have to go for 'The Simpsons' , Futurama next (it's a follow up) Family Guy I love. But South Park did get tired!

I voted family guy. Simpsons lost whatever at season 12. THey ran out of original ideas and the way they lay out shows are so obvius. SOUth park, it's the second one, probably because it's satire. Third is futurerama , I dunno, I can't love this show, and I can't hate it, you know what I mean? It's a great idea, and the things they run with, it's briliantly writen, but not funny to me.

Have you never noticed the irony in Bender - 1st episode using a suicide booth, because he felt bad as he used to bend the bits to make suicide booths :classic2:

As we speak, Bender is on my TV with all his adopted children.

"Can we have Bender Burgers again?"

"NO! The cat shelter is on to me"
