I like Futurama, but I don't think the Simpson's is going downhill. There have been some really bad episodes, but the Simpson's is still breaking new ground. Behind the Laughter was hilarious, as was that duffman episode ("Duffman... Can't Breathe"). The Family guy is ok, the baby is great, but the dad is too stupid. I know that its a cartoon and isn't supposed to be believable, but come on some of the stuff is not only incredibly stupid, its not funny. The PJs has some good Ghetto humor, but its not going to last. As for X-Files, the plot was incredbily f*cked in the begining of the season, but it got back to its roots later on.

Family Guy = l33t, very funny

Although similar to the Simpsons in characters i think it is good for a laugh.

I don't watch it. I don't know anyone that watches it. I suppose it's probably popular in the hillbilly markets south of the Mason-Dixon line. Perhaps they can keep KotH, if Fox can show the Family Guy in the same time slot elsewhere in the country.

Family Guy is one of the best shows out there. The Simpsons has had some bad episodes lately (the one with Kid Rock and Behind the Laughter), but I don't think they are going downhill. There have been bad episodes in any season.

The wife in family matters was the elevator operator in the office building in Perfect Strangers.

Anyways, I like the family guy. It's comedy is much edgier than the Simpsons, although simpsons is still my favorite. Last season of the Simpsons was actually pretty good compared to the 2 previous seasons IMO.

The Simpsons has to stay; its humor is just too unique, it's a great blend of subtlety and physical gags. Anywho, I think King of the Hill was funny the first few episodes, but as of late has abandoned humor and become some sort of sick animated soap opera.

i coulda sworn the wife in Family Matters and the lady at Balky and Larry's workplace were different people.
same actress, different characters.

I like the reruns of the Simpsons better than the newer episodes . . . they're not as subtly humorous as they used to be. Their best episodes where when Conan O'Brien was working on the show.

I still love the Simpsons!
Family guy is good, but not great.
Futurama is awesome!
