I love Family Guy personally, but after Family Guy basically took over the Simpson's popularity and Simpsons started using their humor (for instance, this past week's bit where they had the snake measured out off a roll) it just threw them off. It still has it's moments, but the stories are suffering because they're forcing the humor.

You can say the same about Family Guy, but they didn't have 10+ seasons before they started doing it, they were doing it from the get-go.

I see Simpsons and Family Guy as two completely different genres of animated sitcoms. Simpsons being story driven and Family Guy being joke and gag driven. They're now one in the same as far as I'm concerned and I'd rather watch the original (Family Guy) than the rip-off if I had to choose.

Of course, I still watch both.
