Who else can't wait for the release date for DVD in Aus? It's August 4th 2004. Will be racing down to any DVD store i can find that has it and snapping it up ASAP. Its going to be about $30, well worth it!

technically, everything is technology, from the wheel to computers

people just associate the word technology with computers and computer related items

but anyway i liked family guy sorta but the simpsons is still much funnier and an alround better show but the simpsons are the benchmark for all cartoon comedies these days

Pfft

Family guy kills the simpsons. I love both shows but the simpsons is funny but family guy is constant funny for the entire show..

I love Family Guy, but I'll admit that the target audience is much, much smaller than the simpsons (even smaller than Futurama, another show I adore).

You really have to "get" all the pop culture references in FG to find it funny - in many ways the plots are merely an excuse to fit in in-joke after in-joke.

More people will find the Simpsons funny, but the smaller number of people who find Family Guy funny will think it's funnier than the Simpsons.

If that makes sense.

Same applies for Futurama, but not so much (and more of a sci-fi audience)

How about I move this to the media board too...

My 19 year old sister is absolutely obssessed with Family Guy - she's had DVDs shipped over from England and the US for starters and watches it constantly, so I've watched it because of her and it's absolutely brilliant. Stuey is the best character in a show. EVER.

I think when Family Guy hits the mark it is funnier than the Simpsons.

I'm thrilled they've decided to resurrect the show from the dead and make new episodes.

(And FWIW, Futurama is a grossly underrated show - add Bender to one of the best characters ever list)

most people are probably sick of the simpsons coz episodes get replayed over and over at 6pm

i on the other hand tresure every episode and luv em all and know basically all of em word for word

futurama and FG have some funny bits and i have found that the few people who like it realli like it but the simpsons does have a much broader audience

Yes. Completely. FG is (was) great at times. But you really had to get that type of humour. Still Simpsons is a bettter show. The epsiodes are classics more often than not (minus the first say...oh...2 seasons).

I've already had the season 2 & 3 FG on DVD for months now. Just go to dvdsoon.com and get 'em shipped over from Canada on the cheap. Arrives in a week or 2.

The first series was easily the best, but I just had to have the next 2 seasons as well. Looking forward to the 4th season!!
