Family Guy. South park and Family Guy are my all time favorites (in that order) Countless stoned hours spent watching episode after episode...

Not even close- The Simpsons
Family Guy gets way too many ideas from The Simpsons.

Family Guy! Their jokes are deeper and funnier. Of course that's my opinion

hope that's a joke
its Epic Movie humor, completely random with no meaning outside the occasional political cheapshot or an entire episode that must have been slapped together by Peta reps
I'm not saying the Simpsons has been tolerable, because for the last few years they haven't, but Family Guy is written by manatees

But The Simpsons did have that episode where Martin played Thick as a Brick and the song was over the end credits. And speaking of Tom Sawyer, in a Futurama episode Fry listens to it while playing Space Invaders.

Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson Airplane, which cleared the way for Jefferson Starship. The stage was now set for the Alan Parsons Project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft. - Homer Simpson
I used to be a great drummer but now I'm nothing. Like Phil Collins. - Bart Simpson

The Simpsons by far. What I've seen of Family Guy I didn't find funny at all.

Please tell me you prefer Family Guy, so my conclusion becomes true.

I voted for family guy , The simpsons can't compete against that ep in which Peter thought he was black , hilarious. Or the parody black to the future.

"Everyone knows rock n' roll attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact."
Homer Jay Simpson
And the best one:
Homer : Why wouldn't anyone give me any award?
Lisa : You won a Grammy.
Homer : An award worth winning.

One of my personal favorite quotes (especially as an educator):
Lisa: "Assistant Groundskeeper Skinner, don't you think it's wrong that I can't get the best math education because I'm a girl?"
Skinner: [sighs] "I don't have any opinions anymore. All I know is that no one is better than anyone else, and everyone is the best at everything."

As I said before, in this case, I prefer the more crazy/surreal humor from Family Guy. I also love Dr. House's humor and as well as Seinfield brilliant jokes. Which from these 3(even if Dr.House isn't really a humorous program in it's entirety) I prefer them over Simpsons. Please Ivan, I don't want to discuss with you about Simpsons, they're great, they're one of the most famous TV programs on earth, but you must know better than me that it's a matter of taste.

Vulgarity is more of a selling point for me. I have a soft spot for Matt Groening's work as I started out reading his Life In Hell cartoons since the '80's. I kind of dismissed the Family Guy at first, but now that I've seen a few episodes, I like it. I don't generally go out of my way to watch either, but certainly will if there isn't anything else on I want to watch better. For me da bomb these days for a family cartoon series is the Boondocks.  I used to watch South Park religulously at the beginning. I still check in on that from time to time.
