I think both series were terrific, but it's true that they couldn't compete with the "golden era" simpsons of old. But what could? Nothing, that's what.

But I think the ingenuity of the Simpsons's greatness was put into Futurama, and it has really inventive animation and smart writing. Family Guy I enjoyed because it was just non-stop.. sure, it did get a bit too into scatologics, but it was combined with some really cutting satire and clever jokes (thanks in part to lil' Stewie)
