New episodes don't start until 2005, but at least they're making more!

Are they going to stay on Cartoon Network, or are they going back to regular tv?

Cheap rip-off the simpsons
It's as if the writers of Family Guy are not only lacking in originality to come up with their own show, they're also too unable to come up with a good Simpsons-type show, so they copy the cheapest, dumbest, and most superficial things about Simpsons (Imagine what their staff meetings must be like: "Let's have the main character be a big stupid fat guy with a dopey voice!" "Yeah, aalso we should l have lots of explosions!" "Yeah, but not just regular boring things exploding -- WEIRD things!")
The few good jokes on Family Guy that are not blatantely stolen seem to be in Simpsons style like:
Peter's Friend: We're having a drink a beer contest.
Peter: How does it work?
Friend: You have to drink a beer.
Peter [chugs beer]: OK, what do I win?
Friend: Another beer!
Peter: Gee, I dunno, I kinda feel bad. I promised my wife I wouldn't drink
tonight.
Friend: Aw, don't feel bad, Peter.
Peter: You know, I never thought of it that way.
that scene was funny and it wasnt obviously stolen from simpsons, it does have Homer written all over it.

Don't even make me start.... the Simpsons is also really a rip of a ton of classic tv shows....

Let's just say that they are both hillarious animated cartoons created as a conglomerate (sp?) of other shows, movies, and pop-culture....

The Family Guy is a lot more over-the-top than the Simpsons. Both are funny shows.
Shut up woman, get on my horse.
They'll be back on regular tv. :yes:Originally posted by Schlitz

Simpson's better satire, Family Guy is more sarcastic.

Family guy rocks! Is there a link someplace?
Yay! Can't wait til Family Guy returns! I wouldn't call that show a rip-off of the Simpsons at all...the Simpsons are definitely more conservative and their newer episodes are trying to be edgy. The Family Guy has always tried to shock.
