what happend? it turned into some kind of cartoon version of "family matters" or something. they aren't really funny anymore.
it's a good thing we have family guy.

Its still a great show these days, but a number of factors make it less enjoyable than the first 9 or so years.
I think partly they have covered all the obvious stories and jokes from the original premise, meaning that the new episodes are just that little bit more forced and there is a hint of tiredness/runningout of steam that permeates the episodes
Also I think maybe the current writing staff are simply not as naturally funny people as the old skool.
That said, I still believe the past 3 or 4 years have had a generous handful of classic episodes

SIMPSONS DID IT SIMPSONS DID IT, but yes, they are legends and who cares. family guy is amazing only becuase of simpsons. as well as southpark (which is the best show in the world for sure) i dont care i still watch it daily on sky one. and every sunday with the new(ish) episodes

simpsons have had to try to adopt the latest trend of "random humor" (ie aquateen hungerforce, family guy, etc.) and it just doesnt fit with the shows set up.
rip simpsons

They are probably saving up all of their jokes for the Simpson's movie.

i consider it to be shows that are less about making a clever storyline that unfolds in hilarity and more about throwing 4 million jokes at you a second and just makes you go "holy shit! where did that come from?"
im not bashing it, mind you. family guy and aquateen are two of my favorite shows. simpsons just dont do it well.

I remeber watching the simpsons on the tracy alman show. I thought it was so incredibly hilarious. They sure looked homemade back then.

family guy goes for the "out of left field where did that come from " humor.

at first it was so hard to get my friends into family guy, you really have to watch and pay attention, even then when you are all bustin out laughing you miss like another 2 or three jokes. when you watch the new ones you laugh for like a second then stfu really quick as to not miss another joke but on the dvd's you could watch the same episdoe like 2340987 times and still find/see/hear more shit that's funny as fuck.
oh and just to keep this on topic imho i think the first season of the simpsons is pretty lame too many morals in all the story lines.

At the time, those Tracy Ullman sketches were hugely groundbreaking. It's easy to look back and pick it apart, but there was nothing like it then.

EVOL, are you talking about the Tracy Ullman episodes? No morals there, but no good jokes either. However even that drafts are stellar compared to Family Guy and it's coarse humour. Just my opinion.

nah, the tracy ullman bits were too short to even think about a moral and yes they were ahead of their time. they really hit their stride by the mid 90's and plateau'd up untill 2000-01, imho of course.
