But see, the difference is that neither Family Guy writers, nor myself, see the show as being the pinacle of comedy as you and MT claim South Park is.

I barely watch Family Guy, but at least I can kill a decent 15 minutes with it, than I can with South Park today. It's a shame, since I used to actually watch that show regularly. Now? Nope.

I've never claimed Southpark was the best cartoon, but watch this season's "Medicinal Kentucky Fried Chicken" Episode of South Park. It's freaking hillarious. 
And you don't kill 15 minutes with Family guy, it kills you for 15 minutes. Least funny cartoon on television before American Dad came out.

I never said you did...

And I'll watch it, only if you admit that there were some recently horrible seasons for South Park, that they were hypocrites, and why they're different now.

I never said you said I did... Just labeling myself as outside of that group.

And sure I'll admit it, except I can't say because I'm an infrequent watcher. But I find that their being political and culturally topical is usually a benefit to the show, as there tends to be a lot of humour in the truth. I think the Simpsons could have learned a lot from south park (or got off the air years ago to save face).

 

But I will never ever ever offer a single compliment to Family guy other than that Stewie was a funny character at the very beginning of the show. An evil genius with the naivete of a child was a great idea. Quickly turning him in to an one stop shop for every single stupid joke they could think of was a bad idea. I consider enjoying Family guy to be a character flaw.

I consider condescension a character flaw. 

Both shows are incredibly stupid, overly ridiculous, and full of so much political bias that it will almost make you want to puke. But they're stupid fun nonetheless. And both shows have equally shitty, predictable formulas; albeit in different styles.

Point is...Futurama is better than both.
