I voted for Family Guy. I think that it just about has the edge over South Park, despite the fact that really they are two completely different shows. I don't think that Family Guy is a Simpsons rip-off either. Sure, it takes some inspiration from it but has plenty of fresh ideas of its own.

south park. mainly because it stayed decent for so long, and the fact that Family Guy will probably run out of ideas soon, so all that would be left would be a bunch of half-assed jokes said by a guy whose chin looks like testicals

I guess that Family Guy is the lesser of two evils. You really don't like either? I'm shocked and awed. Family Guy caters to the world of people who enjoy nonstop laughter and fear things that are serious (like politics). South Park caters to the world of people who enjoy just a bit of political insight mixed in with their humor. How can you not be apart of either of these groups? Anyway, I choose South Park. I may have chosen Family Guy if this poll took place when South Park was brand new and still in it's...err, slightly more immature days, but SP's recent seasons have more than made up for it.

Family Guy. It isn't my favorite, but I've seen more of it than I have South Park. But, really, comparing what I've seen of South Park and what I've seen of Family Guy, FG is better.

I will never be able to put into words how much I hate Family guy, it's is one of the most shallow shows I have EVER seen. I have never known a show to try and scrape cheap laughs out of EVERY episode the way Family Guy did, really...couldn't stand it.
Not a big fan of southpark either, but at least it doesn't kill my brain cells.

Family Guy is where I turn for to laugh mindlessly, see some funny parodies and just go for general off-the-wall random humour. It really is a god damn funny show.
However - South Park has all of that, only it's a bit more adult, and there's hilarious subtle political sattirical humour mixed in with all of that. South Park gets a lot of crap for it's foul language, crappy animation & seemingly stupid plots, but when you take those things away - you get a very intelligent show that's not afraid to make points about things where no other show would dare tread. It's the juxtaposition of all of these things that makes it so great to watch.
In short, I really love both shows. However, South Park is my all-time favourite show, while Family guy is my third-favourite show (behind Futurama, of course). South Park gets my vote here, but there's still no love lost for Family Guy.

Leelaholic, anytime that I make a statement that includes a value judgement, it should be understood that I am stating an opinion. I don't have to explicitly say so. For example, if I state that "Leelaholic is a twit." it should be understood that I mean "In my opinion, Leelaholic is a twit." Many people may share this opinion, but it's still an opinion.

How can you not be apart of either of these groups? There are plenty of groups that I don't fit into. You should have seen me in high school. I do watch Family Guy sometimes, but the only reason I watch it is because it comes on after Futurama. The only reason I ever watched it on Fox was because it came on after Futurama. It can be mildly amusing at times, but I would never go out of my way to watch it. I watched the first few episodes of South Park. It was funny at first, but it got really old really fast. Irreverence has it's place, but irreverence just for the sake of being irreverent bores me. I also find both shows visually unappealing. That's of lesser importance than content, but it does make a bad thing even worse.

FAMILY GUY!
It's so way better. But you can't go comparing the two, that's true. I love Stewie and the dog.. they are absolute killers in the show. Stewie makes the show for me. I love how fast he moves around and the fantastic things he says, and his mother is just so calm and unresponding to it! Ahhaha i love it!
I think it's cool!

Beamer pretty much summed up my feelings on South Park. Family Guy is ok for me, nothing more. I'll go for South Park.

You know, I thought the premise of this poll was oddly familiar last night, but didn't bother checking up on it. Today I did and I found this: http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/Futurama/14-000919/ Now, here's a poll that compares South Park, Family Guy, and tons of other cartoons. This poll is invalid, says I.
