Agreed p.s. awesome sig man, I love Guns N' Roses THATS NOT GUNS N' ROSES *****. ANYWAY IT WOULD SAY AT THE MOMENT FOR ME FAMILY AS THERE ARE STILL A LOAD OF EPISODES I HAVNT SEEN. SOUTH PARK I HAVE SEEN MOST AND IT GETS BORING SEEING THE SAME ONES OVER AGAIN. PLUS I THINK THE OLDER EPISODES WERE BETTER

South Park, no question. I haven't watched The Simpsons in years and I don't watch Family Guy all that much either.

In order, from best to worst: South Park The Simpsons Family Guy
I place Family Guy after the Simpsons because of this:

I prefer American Dad over both of them, easily as it tends to be based far more around its surroundings then anything else. Although the more recent episodes have been somewhat shabby, in general it does not try to go to extremes in other words desperate for laughs, like some shows, and that's how it stays fresh imo. Family Guy derives its humour almost entirely from pop culture cutaways and references as well as bad catchphrases, Simpsons is stale now and has been since the early 2000s. But yeah they were good at points. South Park is really half and half, sometimes it seems funny, sometimes it seems lame.

South Park got my vote.
The Simpsons was one of the smartest shows of all time (even past season six, when it became more absurd). Somewhere around 2000 (when Futurama launched), Matt Groening took the veterans of his staff to craft Futurama (what he wanted to be his successor to The Simpsons). This left Simpsons under the pen of young talent being loosely watched by Groening and the other Show Runners. With the untimely demise of Family Guy at the same time, their staff realized that the major draw to Family Guy was their throw away humor and so The Simpsons crew decided to add that to the mix, souring the punch (if you will).
This is also my criticism about the return of Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane and company realized that their most quoted material was the throw away humor, leaving the storylines to be the B story of each episode.
South Park, on the other hand, has only become better with age. They've moved away from relying on crass jokes and realized that their process of episode making allows them to be one of the most relevant commentaries on TV. They can literally add things to the episodes that are to air that evening. It's a freedom only surpassed by SNL, the Daily Show, and the Colbert Report. They've taken advantage of this to create some memorable moments in reaction to recent events in the news (including the loss of Issac Hayes). Their ability to use parody and satire is one of the sharpest on television. And because the show and it's show runners have a voice (something The Simpsons and Family Guy tend not to have), this thing could go on forever, trudging through its low points and continue to regain its high... that is until Stone and Parker get sick of it.

Yeah, how could it not be South Park? Yes, the Simpsons are the original, but they are not the best anymore.

Family Guy for stupid humor, and Soth Park for semi-adult humor.

I like The Simpsons and South Park equally. Family Guy is some way behind, its jokes are mostly random cutaway pop-culture references which is lazy.
Futurama is better than all of em.

South Park, Family Guy comes second, and Simpsons on third.
I used to say Simpsons was the best show ever, but I had never saw South Park and Family Guy.

After this season of South Park, The Simpsons, then Family Guy.
One of the only things I liked from SP this season was "I'm not your buddy, guy!" and Butters singing "What, what in the butt".

I voted simpsons because I have been watching it forever. I found south park funny for the first two seasons then it got old real quick. Family guy is just idiotic and tries too hard to be funny with all the sex humor. Homer and Mr. Burns own all!!!
