The Simpsons vs Family Guy vs South Park vs Futurama

Family Guy, the sheer amount of obvious and underlying humour in that show is incredible!

Futurama, the only character I really enjoyed was Zapp Branigan

and Bender too for me Gotta pity Kif too lol

South Park probably wins it for me also, just brilliant after so many enjoyable seasons and going strong still:D

I would put Family Guy a close second, due to the fact i love it too

I think south park really got it's house in order the last 4 years or so. It had drifted very badly off course for a bit. Randy Marsh is becoming their new (old) classic comedy character.

American Dad is genius. Some of the writing puts Family Guy to shame. I really enjoy Family Guy but I think when SP de-constructed the whole ethos of the format of the show it suffered.

New Simpsons is a bit like Billy Connolly live now. You used to love it but when you watch it now you are embarassed for both of you.

Futurama stayed consistently brilliant throughout, but those two movies, dear oh dear.........

Oh and King of the Hill is OK, I miss Beavis and Butthead though

Pretty tough to decide.

Simpsons in it's prime is untouchable. Pick up a few of the seasons on DVD and prepare to laugh start to finish through some episodes.

Southpark has gone the opposite way IMO The old episodes are just out for shock value and are as unwatchable as the new Simpsons' stuff. However right now there isn't anything funnier. The bizarre storylines they manage to give some reason too are fantastic (easter bunny episode etc.)

Futurama is different. It's the Fawlty towers of adult cartoons. It has fewer episodes and therefore hides any shallowness well. It also has some fantastic episodes, Slurm, The original Zapp episode, the insane asylum and the dog episode. That one stands out followed closely by the clover episode as the two cartoons that would make a less hard man shed a tear It also had Bender who was well bender

Family Guy. Hmm this one is tough. I got into it before it became a big craze and fell in love with it. It's harder for me to admit it's gone off the boil than the simpsons was as it was just great and I got it straight away. The first 2 and possibly 3 seasons are still comedy gold. But it's tough to pick stand out episodes which I guess is the fault of it's random style. It also stands as proof that enough pressure can make a network realise they made a financial mistake

American Dad is very up and down. It started very slow but I'd rate it as above Family Guy at the minute. Stan and Roger are fantastic characters.

Notable mention to Aqua Teen Hunger force which I think is hilarious and has one of the greatest characters in Master Shake. The episodes are short but definitely check out a few (Note there are horribly bad ones here and there though). But stay away from the movie

then Souyh Park or Simpsons

ATM, South Park is my fave, despite a couple of this season's episodes. After that, it'd be Drawn Together and Futurama - as has already been said, the dog and the clover episodes were tearjerkers.

south park is the best

For me it would be 1st-Family Guy
2nd-South Park
3rd-would be either Futurama or The Simpsons

Classic Simpsons trumps all and for that I go with the Simpsons. I never really got into South Park because I never found them to be that great. Family Guy was good until Season 3, and that's when it went down hill and Futurama would be my second choice of them all. Long story short, Matt Groening is a genius.
