The Simpsons vs. Family Guy - Page 2

.....um I have to disagree. There's plenty of examples in cinema history of movies that use the same formula and come up with the same movie. I no longer think Family Guy rips off Simpsons as before, but using the same formula (especially in movies) can result into ripping off. There's a thin line between homage and ripping off.

I have been watching the simpsons for as long as they were on I think.. I don't rmeember.. been 18 years since they started. problem with simpsons is the show just gotten stale but I contuine to watch it because it's the freaking simpsons.. some episodes are good some are bad but the movie I defiently will see first day because it's the simpsons..

American Dad is a great show if you taken the time to sit down and watch the later episodes. much much better than the first bunch they had.. It now grown seperate from Family guy and becoming a much better show.

Family guy sure has not been well in it's 5th season but still has had a great season..

Then you need to pay more attention, because 90% of the time, those who claim foolishly FG is a rip-off of anything don't. Peter is culturally aware, and ignorant of everything around him, far different thing. Homer is'nt, he's just a goof.

Peter also admits openly that he's slightly retarded infact he did on this past episode...I can't recall Homer ever doing that.
It's like some one saying Wow this Butter is such a copy cat of the Jam because you c`an spread them both on your toast.
