Dexter's Laborotory! The earlier Simpsons are pretty good, as is Iznogoud

I used to love Dexter's Lab. I recall at one point Dexter's voice changed for the worst (different voice actor) and I lost interest in the show.
|
The animators and writers also changed. What a mistake that was (the show only lasted for a season after that)

If I were to choose from that list, it would be tough. All of them are pretty good (except American Dad), but I'd say it's a tie between Family Guy, The Simpsons and South Park; too hard to choose one! That's exactly why none of those shows are my favorites.
I personally LOVE Home Movies on Adult Swim! I'm becoming more tired of joke-based comedy and have started really appreciating conversational and improvisational comedy. Home Movies is great at that, they have a rough script to refer to, but the voice actors are all just genuinely funny and don't need to rely on the writers to make the show hilarious. Plus H. Jon Benjamin and Brendon Small have some of the funniest voices of all time!

Family Guy for me. I like the absurd humour, they have absolutely no respect for no one. I can only imagine what this show would look like without the network restrictions. South Park is good but sometimes they are trying to be too educative and lose the humour. I don't like The Simpsons their sense of humour is just not my cup of tea

I'm watching some Simpsons on DVD for the first time in around 3-4 months (too long for me). I watched "You Only Move Twice" (Hank Scorpio episode) and "The Homer They Fall" (Homer vs Dreaderick Tatum). Untouchable, in my opinion.

 Great episode!

Family Guy is low brow humor mixed with wastes of time and some of the most blatant political agenda that sickens me. It used to be fine when the low brow jokes were new but I haven't laughed once in the last season. There may have been a time when I would have voted for it but that will never happen now or in the future. I have only seen a couple episodes of King Of The Hill and American Dad. I remember very little other than I was underwhelmed by both. I don't value excellent satire as highly as laugh-out-loud moments so South Park doesn't get my vote. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is always good for a few laughs and they had Neil Peart in their movie so that's good for some bonus points. So I guess that leaves The Simpsons. They've had plenty of classics and I still enjoy watching the new episodes. The Simpsons is like an old friend that has served me well in the past for long enough and I will most alwa---ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Yes, because Bitey of Brackenwood is just so much more sophisticated.  (your avatar)
