I finely got a Simpsons box set

Family Guy has become the new Simpsons. I love the fact that it was the fans that brought this show back from the dead, we know what its like for Family Guy to be gone and so do the people who worked on it so maybe just maybe they will stick with it and keep the show going for a long time.

Its not like Simpsons has not had a good run though, 16 seasons is huge if not unprecedented, 10 of which are brilliant, 2 that are ok, 2 that are "watchable", but not all that great and 2 that are just so awful it makes me want to vomit. If Family Guy can even make half the run that Simpsons have had with good writing and the inovative story telling and social commentary as well as the fall on the floor humor the show is known for then I will be happy. But if starts to it fall apart like Simpsons I would rather see it go out on top so we don't have to deal with seasons of crappy epicodes.

Simpsons has always been the patriarch of adult/teen oriented animated comedy, as it should be. Without it there would be no King of the Hill, or Family Guy or any of the stuff on Adult Swim. But now the show has grow stale and maybe even to big for itself. Family Guy has the fresh cutting edge that Simpsons used to have and it is time to pass the torch, as it were.
