When it first came out, I rapidly dismissed Family Guy as a low-grade Simpsons clone... there's no way any other animated sitcom with a moronic father figure could compete with them when Family Guy was in it's first run. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure it was in the same 'Timeslot of Death' that befell Futurama. (7pm Sunday).
Family Guy didn't stand a chance against The Simpsons, but with The Simpsons going downhill, we need to get our fix elsewhere. I mean FG's alright, it's different than The Simpsons, but not as quite as good.
