I've always loved both shows, ever since I was a kid.
A while back the question was proposed to me, which is better, Family Guy or South Park?
I had to take a step back and really think about this for a moment. First of all, the question is flawed fundamentally. Obviously we all love to compare and contrast because we're a society that's based on merit rather then consistent performance.
At first thought, I'd say South Park. I think that across the board South Park has better characters. I think that it has more quality episodes - (the early Family Guy years have some duds, where as the early South Park episodes are arguably as funny as the current ones). But then after I think for a moment, I can't help but think about Family Guy. I laughed so hard at Family Guy's 200th episode where Brian and Stewie are locked in a vault, I nearly cried.
I'm going to let this debate simmer for a while and discuss with my friends, so I'll probably come back to this one. Comment below if you have any opinions or preferences you'd like to enlighten me on.
