Is 'Family Guy' the funniest show in teevee history?

[Oeditpus Rex]

Poll question: Is 'Family Guy' the funniest show in teevee history?

Besides "Monty Python's Flying Circus," of course. But that goes without saying.

1. I'm beginning to think so

stoned or not, I never fail to howl w./ laughter at least 1X a episode.

The "Prom Night Dumpster Baby" song...jesus. Pure gold.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. The subtitled drunk translation was hilarious, too.

2. It's funnier than that time Stewie was watching The View.

3. No n/t

[AnotherGreenWorld]

4. Not even close.

[Mojambo]

6. It's the funniest animated show I've ever seen.

I was never really a Simpsons guy though.

9. No. Stewie is an annoying little shit.

Can't stand the show.

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Yep! "That's 'R', as in 'Robert Loggia', 'O' as in 'Oh my God, it's Robert Loggia"

And "Okay, I got a crate of Ipecac - whoever throws up last gets the last piece of pie".

[Mad_Dem_X]

11. Uh, nope.

I would go with The Simpsons on that one.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

12. Season One almost scared me away. Glad I stuck with it.

I think they softened up the Stewie character.

[Zomby Woof]

13. My opinion of it has increased measurably

We have taken to watching it both on Faux and the reruns on Cartoon Network. It can be brilliant at times.

I still have to rank it below both Python and 1990-1995 Simpsons (its most immediate forebear), but it is ready for my pantheon. :D

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Fuck no.

It's funny, but nowhere near funniest.

[Danger Mouse]

15. While I love 'Family Guy'...I don't think it is as funny as...

Monty Python's Flying Circus, Blackadder, Saturday Night Live (in its heyday), or the Simpsons

[ironflange]

17. No, not quite the funniest

But you gotta love scenes like this:

18. No. I could list at least 30 programs that were funnier.

Family Guy hasn't anything on:

The Larry Sanders Show
The Simpsons (Seasons 3-9)
Futurama
All in the Family
Cheers
Frasier
M*A*S*H
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Fawlty Towers
Roseanne (Seasons 1-6)

19. i'm quite sure some people think that it is...
