Once again they're both hit and miss in different ways.
At least FG's hits and misses are always in the contents of one episode. South Park episodes are either a complete hit or a complete miss. |

Problem I have with Family guy is it's lazy much less intelligent humor. People say things like "remember the one where stewie went to the fridge for some sunny dor when peter was the blue guy from tron" etc etc etc. The plot is irrelevant and that's lazy, doen't mean it's not funny, it's jut not high quality. South Park is the smartest show in the history of TV by a long shot.

OH MY GOD THEY KILLED KENNY!!! the show only really started getting intellectual once they seemed to actively start following in norman lear's footsteps around 2002. it might be one of the smartest shows on tv today, but it certainly is not 'the' smartest show in the history of tv. |

I stand by my statement, no show prior to the last 15 years even belongs in the discussion, TV was awful in retrospect, but that's to be expected we we've still learning the medium. Almost every bit of dialog in South Park is metaphor or satire, it's so careful and composed and yet they stay so ahead of current events. They handle every major issue with incredible honesty, humanity and insight and they still keep it the most over the top immature show on TV. That type of of self effacing humility in the face of such blindingly brilliant commentary is unheard of...So sayeth the Spider.
