I have also seen on other message boards how Family Guy is better then the Simpson\'s ever were.
I think it comes down to what you were talking about early, generations of people have different taste.
People our age, I believe cling\'d to the Simpsons because it was one of the first primetime cartoons to be successful. We grew up on it, and consider it our family. I have watched Family Guy since day 1 and I still don\'t think it beats Homer and his -isms. Now we have kids who are 16-20 who love these other shows and stand by them. I think that is who you find on the message boards. I think the fans of Adult Swim average between 18-30.
