    FUTURAMA it's like the old simpsons good humor and funny and it's unlike the new series of simpsons which is terrible using american humor and generally not funny the rest are good too

    The Simpsons still comes tops.Look,they have had the odd god awful episode recently but on a whole it is maintaining a respectable quality of humour.In fairness it cannot be as fresh as it once was and it can be honestly said that it started out as a fairly crap kids show in he beginning before becoming more satirical and mature.

    South Park tries too hard to be satirical and fails because they only seem to half know what theyre talking about.It was a classic in series one but went down after that.

    Futurama is quite good but not as great as the simpsons.

    Family Guy was great in series one,back in the days when seemingly I was the only person who watched it.Not one of my friends ever watched it even though I constantly raved how it was the best show on tv in years but everybody started watching in series 2 and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.I thought it really went down hill after series 1,which rivalled even the simpsons in terms of intelligent writing and comedy.

    Family Guy by a long way. not too long to wait for series 3 :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,772 ✭✭✭woolymammoth


    Family Guy tbh... but South Park comes a very close second.

    the simpsons is good, but should've died a long time ago with some dignity.

    futurama is pretty good, but its just too much like a new
    simpsons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,286 ✭✭✭SprostonGreen


    Family without a shadow of a doubt, brilliant, clever, funny.

    Futurama a close second, can be a bit hit and miss at times.

    South Park, not a regular viewer, but what I've seen, I've found hilarious.

    The Simpsons - go away !!, you used to be so good.


    Beavis and Butthead - Thank god, thats over.

    Family Guy for me...... Razor sharp humour in the first 2 series. Looking forward to series 3 on DVD at the end of the month.

    Early Simpsons episodes were classics too.... Series 3 is out on R1 DVD late August (about f**king time!). Should be out on R2 shortly afterwards.

    I think Samurai Jack kind of fits the 'Mature Cartoon' bracket too. Its too stylised for kids, and some of the humour is top class.

    Beavis and Butthead would be my favourite. I never really watched much of the others.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭solice


    tbh, the 2 that i would go for would be "god the devil and bob" or "stressed eric" but they arent in the poll so i would have to say Family Guy. i think the simpsons are utter tripe and i hold them in the same status of satans spawn and i wish they were dead. dam you matt groening


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 565 ✭✭✭commuterised


    nice to see that family guy is running away with the poll at present.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,269 ✭✭✭p.pete


    I only get to see Family Guy on rare occasions - but I would vote it ahead of Southpark, a close second.

    I don't really see the new simpsons any more but there is nothing but bad reviews. BBC and Net 2 nearly look like they have the good end of the stick at the moment, showing all the episodes years behind Sky.

    Thanks to the wonders of the net and a T3 lineat work i have downloaded most if not all the epsiodes of family guy.

    It rocks.I still havent watched them all but its the best show i have ever seem.

    Shame it got cancelled , i thinik it could have run and run like the simpsosne which are still funny because you have to watch them twice as humour is very subtle sometimes.

    Would be South Park for me closely followed by Beavis & Butthead and Simpsons. I have never really liked Futurama.

    family guy, it's so good it hurts! and the simpsons... well, it's gone down hill... i think Beavis and Butthead would be funny if i was twelve and hearing all the rude words but they just don't cut it for me at this age.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Family guy leaves them all behind imo, Its one step ahead of them all, is sharper wittier and allways makes my sides ache from laughing

    " ITS OK, THAT CHIKEN GAVE ME A BAD COUPON ! "

    while I may s****** / laugh inside or sometimes out loud at the rest I find myself constantly laughing @ family guy ! brilliant stuff !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭Space Coyote


    Family Guy by a mile. According to the poll too. Priceless entertainment. I have Series 1 on tape. The Grim Reaper episode just cracks me up whenever I see it. :p

    Its good to see The Simpsons getting pi.ssed on !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,084 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    Love Family Guy, have seasons 1 and 2 on dvd, getting season 3 the second it comes out.

    Liking south park as well, have downloaded most of seasons 3,4,5,6&7. Love some of the really surreal bits like featuring the master control program from Tron as Moses.

    Simpsons .... by a mile!

    If you look at it in terms of what is currently being produced then the Simpsons can't really compete (is Beav and Butt still being produced?).

    In terms of which of these is the best ever then the Simpsons would get my vote. As it stands though I voted family guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,084 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    unfortunately family guy is no longer being produced. it was cancelled, as was futurama


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭Panda


    as a "mature" cartoon, family guy still wins imo.

    ya know that the poll can be edited to add southpark superconor?

    It was close between the Simpsons and Family guy but I went for the Simpsons because apart from season 1 when Homer had his annoying voice and dated horribly, for ten years it has kept me laughing. I still have trouble picking between BBC2 and Network 2 at 6pm of a weekday evening and I try to find something else to watch between 6.30 and 7.00 when it starts on Sky.
    So for consistency and longevity the Simpsons get my vote.

    Family Guy is the funniest show to come out in many years and I watch my DVDs and divxs all the time. I look forward to the end of the month for season 3 on DVD. I would compare it to Bill Hicks, having died too young with so much of it's genius left unrewarded, or something.

    Family Guy all the way Futurama in second!! If u'd asked this question about 2 years ago i think most people wud have sed the simpsons but the newer series are just sh*t!!
