Family guy IMO has been funnier than the simpsons since season 15 of the simpsons.
Family Guy has always been funny. The best part about it is that they don't try to be something that they're clearly not. A quick cutaway joke would be preferable to a character building scene. The random humour and pop culture references make the show what it is, and that's why it will keep being funny.
The Simpsons during the 90s rates as one of the greatest pieces of TV work ever. The characters were excellent and well developed, the storylines were in depth and interesting, it made excellent use of secondary characters and subtle humour. However, after Season 10, the producers began to make the show completely different to what it was in the 90s. Homer became incredibly stupid, Marge became annoying, Bart and Lisa became near intolerable, and it seemed like the writers had just hit a blank and not been able to come up with anything interesting plot-wise.
The end result was a mere resemblance of its former self, retaining the name and the characters, but not much else. By trying to appeal more to a younger generation of viewers, the show lost all of the magic it once had (see WWE).

Felt over-extended and lacked the rhythm of the original/s. Crap really.
The greatest tragedy of the downfall of The Simpsons is that all the kids growing up with it now have only the new episodes and think they're good and they're what The Simpsons is meant to be and comedy is meant to be. The classic seasons get replayed occasionally, but with half the punchlines cut out to make room for the ads they play more of now then when they were made.
Thank God for the DVDs.

Can't say I liked it. 2 minute intro. Geez.
I prefer the old one better. It's not bad, but I don't see the point in making a new one when it's close to the end (imo anyway).
One thing I noticed is that the head of Jebediah Springfield returned when the couch ran away.

It probably won't even go for half that normally. The extended couch gag would just be a one off.
Didn't like it.

Fox said on Thursday it has ordered two more seasons of animated comedy The Simpsons, ensuring the show that started in 1989 will surpass Gunsmoke as the longest-running prime-time US television series.
The Simpsons will start its 21st season in the fall, after last year tying the longevity record of Gunsmoke" which ended in 1975 after 20 seasons.
Its second season in the two-year deal will come in 2010.
The cops and courts show Law & Order on network NBC has run for 19 prime-time seasons, starting in 1990.
The Simpsons has won 24 Emmy Awards and was already the longest running animated series on prime-time television in the United States.
It was created by cartoon artist Matt Groening.
The Simpsons are a family of five made up of dull-witted father Homer, good-intentioned mom Marge and kids Bart and Lisa and Maggie, who all live in a town called Springfield that serves as a microcosm of the United States.
It has featured the voice work of major celebrities in guest starring roles, from Paul McCartney to Elizabeth Taylor , and it casts a comedic glance at weighty issues, including racial discrimination, world affairs and religion.
In 2007, The Simpsons Movie hit theaters and went on to make more than $527 million worldwide.
Gunsmoke, a western about straight-shooting lawman Matt Dillon , began in 1955 during TV's black and white era, and later switched to color.
Sam Peckinpah, who went on to make the 1969 western classic The Wild Bunch, was among the many directors on Gunsmoke, which starred James Arness as Dillon.
Just wont die.
