Family Guy.....what can i say? It can be funny and stupid. The shows characters, Peter Griffin- the fat dad. Lois Griffin- stay at home mom Stewie Griffin- baby who wants Lois to die. Megan Griffin- the girl that everyone hates. Chris Griffin- the fat kid, who'll probably be in every relation to Peter someday. But he's a nice kid. Brian- the talking dog.
Some may compare Family Guy to the Simpsons. It's hard to compare a show that has been around for twice as long as the other. (Simpsons- 20 years, Family Guy- 9 or 10 years depending on if they've made any new episodes recently) However, since the plots are similar, people do compare.
Some of the Family Guy episodes have definitely made me laugh, hard. With those that were funny, there came the ones that were, eh. The humor used in Family Guy is not quite as low key as the Simpsons. The humor is more open because Family Guy is mainly directed toward +14 yrs old. They can mix and mash, doesn't matter. With the Simpsons, you're more limited with the jokes because kids as young as 9 or 10 watch it.
Family Guy isn't really put together good when it comes to characters. A surprise could come to you in any episode, which is good and bad. The Simpsons was well thought out when making the characters. Even though both of these family's are your typical American family(not including the talking dog and the talking baby.) Back when most of the Family Guy episodes were funny, I would watch repeats over and over. Not even thinking about the Simpsons. Getting sick of these repeats and waiting very impatiently for some new episodes. When I found out that a new episode was coming, I promised myself I would watch it. When it came around, I was disappointed. That's when the show pretty much went down hill and I hardly ever watch it now. Unless it's repeats from older episodes. The Simpsons pretty much has gone through this but also comes up in some episodes.
I wouldn't say I like one better than the other because they are both unique in there own way. Both have had there ups and downs.
older episodes of Family Guy- 8/10 newer episodes- of Family Guy- 3/10
