My only problem with simpsons now a days is that if you just saw the beginning and the end of an episode you would think it was two different episodes.

I voted for Family Guy as the best one IMO but Futurama is a great show that was way under rated IMO.

So whats the best?

The Long standing classic of the Simpsons?

The no boundaries or gravity limited Futurama?

The ideal family of the new millenium Family Guy?



I think i have to vote for futurama only because i like the science of things.

Family guy and the Simpsons are awesome. Futurama is teh suxor.

Ah, the ages-old question. Its extremely difficult to choose between them. Futurama definitely has the best replay value. Family Guy is HILARIOUS for the first couple of times, but gets kind of old after awhile. The Simpsons is inbetween the two. Fry is the best character ever created IMO, with his non-sensical remarks that still seem to be so funny. "Hey, look! It's that guy you are!" (in reference to watching Bender on the surveillance tapes). As for which is the best, all I can say is I own

Every episode of Futurama

Every episode of Family Guy

Season 1&2 of the Simpsons

Simpsons> Futurama> Family Guy

The collective genius of the Simpsons as a whole easily trump all others. Sure it it's way past it prime but in the years to come you will still remember the funny "the goggles they do nothing!!!!!!!"

Futurama still the best animated show of the 3 and it was sort of a simpsons reborn the potential was there if only it had not been canceled. Check out the top 4 moments to understand how truly great and underrated show it had been.

Family guy has always been LOL hilarious but it has yet to put on displays of incredible poigancy and cohesive storyline that ia nuanced over seasons and not mere episodes. I wonder how many posters here will be saying family good should have been canceled when it approaches it's 8th season if ever.

I'd take Futurama over Family guy. Family guy gets repetative after a while; for example you always know when those cut scenes are going to happen.
