I don't think it's a coincidence that the wittiest writers realize they can get more out of an animated medium than a live-action one. It allows much more flexibility in terms of what can be communicated and it is more cost-effective in doing so. "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" is one of the few live-action comedy shows lately that uses flashback and imagination sequences (well) that are so much a part of the "The Family Guy".
