Besides aesthetics,
Simpsons and
Family Guy have always struck me as apples and oranges (or perhaps apples and lemons).
Simpsons (and
Futurama) acts more as social satire and commentary, while
Family Guy is simply the result of lives lived in this specific social environment. They’re both brilliant in their own ways, but I think comparing them is a waste of time.
And, just for the record,
The Simpsons has and continues to stand the test of time.
