I think this is how the shows differ, aside from comedy. What Family Guy lacks is the wealth of story and characters. The supporting cast is deep on The Simpsons. They usually have stories, and use many types of humor and subtle satire. Whereas Family Guy goes to the random in your face gag, like Mr. T or David Hasslehoff jokes, I mean come on. Plus the Simpson family itself has been treated in a way that gives them heart over the years. They're much more than just cartoon characters or jokes. There's actually something there with Bart and Lisa's siblinghood, and Homer and Marge's marriage, as well as the parent/kids individual relationships, and Homer and his mother and father, and other relationships and friendships throughout the show.
