What the hell. I enjoy Futurama more than Simpsons now. I'm not disagreeing with you on that point. Im just sayin in its prime it was better.

Oh and for beavis and buthead. I didnt even know they had the same creator. I just remeber a character that looked exactly like hank, and had the same voice as him too.

But all in all. The one i enjoy the most now. Is indefinitly Southpark.

Southpark is great. One of the better ones. Still Family Guy all the way. Now as far as Mike Judge goes his best was Daria. That show was awesome. Kind of a mix between Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill.

Sure i prefer futurama more. But thats because I've seen like all the Simpsons episodes. Its like askin who was better Michael Jordan at his prime or Kobe Bryant at his . Sure kobe is better now but ....well you get what i mean.
What are you saying that Bryant are now better than Jordan was at his prime??



Also Futurama rocked but Simpsons is the funnies show ever,i would give 15/10 :D



And i cant understand people who like Family Guy cause it sucks, they think they are the Simpsons.....

Family Guy is so much better than the Simpsons, and also I don't think they think they are the Simpsons they are a little more politically incorrect, and funnier. The Simpsons has so many bad episodes, even at its peak it had episodes that I could go through without laughing once. Now Family Guy on the other hand I can watch over and over, and always laugh.

I couldn't disagree with you more. Yes, at first glance it might seem like a carbon copy of the Simpsons, but Family Guy is so much more different. The humor is handled in a different manner and most of the characters have multiple layers and are much more interesting than the cast from the Simpsons. I think Family Guy is great not so much for its originality, but for it's execution.

I'm pretty sure they can. There are episodes dedicated solely to Stewie and Brian, and they talk to each other pretty normally. Then again, Brian is a dog.

From the mouth of the creators yes and no. There is one episode that ends with a futuristic classroom watching TV and one student asks if they can hear the baby then the episode ends. They have a directors commentary on that episode on the DVD. Seth MacFarlane said that he always had them understand the baby, but one of the other writers said he just used whatever seemed appropriate at the time. So even they don't know. I think what they really do is have it where they can hear him, but just pass off what he says as not important and generally ignore him.

I watch family guy sometimes but the only time i have lagged is when Stewey is doing something the rest of the humor is so bad. I mean they just do everything that you expect to do,everything has to be politics incorrect.

I think he was saying Bryant is better now then Jordan is now, but you coudln't say bryant is an overall better player, since Jordan at his prime is better than the current Kobe Bryant.
