meazza Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 I would do a poll but there is probably too many variations. I'd have to say It's a tight race between Deep Space Homer and Homer Joins the Navy
stevestojan Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 The best episode of the simpsons still isn't as funny as the worst episode of family guy... NEW ONE TONIGHT!!!
meazza Posted November 7, 2005 Author Posted November 7, 2005 The best episode of the simpsons still isn't as funny as the worst episode of family guy... NEW ONE TONIGHT!!! 496414[/snapback] Simpsons gave me 18 years of laughs, and you're going to compare to 4 seasons of Family Guy. They are both great shows but Simpsons in its prime was way better than Family Guy.

Just Jack Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Simpsons has gone downhill these past few years. Where episodes used to be laugh a minute, now they're lucky to have three or four good jokes in an entire episode. One that sticks out in my mind is the Lemon Tree episode. "Lemon Of Troy"

Never saw a family guy episode that wasn't hilarious. Tenure doesn't always decide which is better. I'll watch the simpsons tonight, just because the I can't watch the TO-fest that is bound to start on ESPN. But family guy is in a league of it's own.

KD in CA Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Never saw a family guy episode that wasn't hilarious. Assuming one has the intellect of a four year old.
stevestojan Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Assuming one has the intellect of a four year old. 496442[/snapback] oh yeah, and the simpsons is highly sophisticated, right?
meazza Posted November 7, 2005 Author Posted November 7, 2005 oh yeah, and the simpsons is highly sophisticated, right? 496443[/snapback] i like the simpsons references to movies, i find they do it really well
KD in CA Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 oh yeah, and the simpsons is highly sophisticated, right? 496443[/snapback] Actually, yes. It is a very clever show with an endless supply of subtle cultural/historical references, parodies of film/stage/TV/literature classics, etc. It reminds me of the old Bugs Bunny cartoons in that way. Remember that the Simpsons got their start on the Tracey Ullman show, a critically acclaimed variety show, lauded for its originality and creativity. I must have only seen the bad episodes, but from what I've seen of the Family Guy, it's pretty much just straight potty jokes.
RuntheDamnBall Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Homer at the Bat. the Frank Grimes episode. Lisa Needs Braces. My 3 faves, anyway.
Johnny Coli Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Saturdays of Thunder...The soapbox derby episode. Flaming Moes....Might have been the funniest, cleverest half hour of TV I've ever seen. It's a tough call, because the Homer in Space ep is also brilliant. Quite frankly, the Simpsons may go down as the best sitcom of all time.
Typical TBD Guy Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Never saw a family guy episode that wasn't hilarious. 496437[/snapback] What about "There's Something About Paulie?" That episode was awful. But I hear ya. Family Guy is much better than Simpsons right now. Even so, I have a hard time saying anything bad about the Simpsons. Family Guy owes a lot to them, as do all other sitcoms that followed. BTW, my nomination for best Simpsons episode ever was the one where Homer was accused of sexual harassment . EDIT: Anyone watching the War at Home? Terrible. Just terrible.
Johnny Coli Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 BTW, my nomination for best Simpsons episode ever was the one where Homer was accused of sexual harassment . 496469[/snapback] The gummi Venus de Milo. A thing of beauty.
KD in CA Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 EDIT: Anyone watching the War at Home? Terrible. Just terrible. 496469[/snapback] Yes and yes. But that chick is a hottie! The mom's not bad either.
Wacka Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Saw some show with the top 100 characters of all time on TV. Top 5: 1) Archie Bunker 2)Ralph Kramden 3) Lucy Ricardo 4)Fonzie 5)Homer J. Simpson
