Yes, it's true. Our very own Dave is doing a live broadcast to MTV Canada today and he needs your help! His job is to go up against a hardcore Family Guy fan and tell the northern world why The Simpsons are superior!

Oh my God can I write the speech? My speech would step on the face of the other guys' speech. So many things are going through my head. The Simpson's are television HISTORY, are you kidding me!

I love both shows, but Simpsons is just of a much higher class. Family guy is a very different show, though. I like it, but it just isn't as good at all.

xxx

P.s. The killer point is this: Family guy people aren't yellow. So there. :p

The Simpsons are not the original cartoon family, the roots of the disorganised family go way back, even The Flintstones and The Jetsons were disorganized way before either The Simpsons or Family Guy.

The reason The Simpsons is better is because whilst Family Guy is a HILARIOUS show, it's a very different kind of humour, many people can say something random and it'll be funny, Family Guy uses random humour, it's not clever but it's still funny, it's what makes it what it is. The Simpsons uses REAL humour, it uses (or used to up until recently) situations that could really happen to people, only made slightly crazy. The Simpsons is touching, tender, and a laugh riot.

It's not a matter of who is the original show, at the end of the day, which one makes unique real stories and make you actually care about the characters as well? When Homer almost died from poison blowfish, you actually felt a twang of pain and you were kept wondering if he'd survive and actually thought he was dead at one point. When Peter 'got' breast cancer, you knew it was just going to be some random storyline that got thrown away within five minutes, and shock horror, it was.

The Simpsons went from shorts, to television, to film. Family Guy came back from cancellation. They've both got their fanbase and are always getting more popular. They're both awesome.

Thanks you guys, this is good fodder for the beat down! I like the Family Guy and all, but this is the friggin Simpsons we're talking about! I will hopefully make you all proud and do my best to represent the fans of Fanpop! :) CHARGE!

For those Fanpoppers in Canada, it'll be on MTV Live sometime between 6-7pm EST.

Chel1395, do you really think Dave should say on MTV "They are two different shows that are both enjoyable in their own ways"? That's kind of a lame argument when he's supposed to be DEFENDING The Simpsons, not playing Switzerland.

Oh, Dave, don't forget to think up counter-arguments as well! Did you only just find out you were doing this or did you know in advance?

I mean I agree the Family Guy is an enjoyable show, but Dave's got a part to play today. If he was supposed to defend The Family Guy, this would be a different pick.

I think the reason that people think that Family Guy has ripped off the Simpsons is because the characters look somewhat similar. I mean, look at the King of the Hill characters or the South Park characters. They look very little like Simpsons characters, but Family Guy characters look a lot like Simpsons characters - not that Family Guy isn't an original show.

Wow, this is so great. Finally a reason to watch MTV Canada, which I feel is just for hippies because they have a lot of those people who beleve in that stuff. I just heard the reason why they are going to be talking about this is because Seth Macfarlane (creator of Family Guy) is on MTV Live. I can't wait to see it!!!

Just thought of another thing, Family Guy relies on a LOT of pop culture references that younger viewers will not get in a few years, Simpsons is minimal with them.

Whew, that went well I think. Thanks to Craig (aka tvman) for watching up Canada! Yeah, I actually like Family Guy and had to play a role. Luckily I like The Simpsons more. Just saw the movie last night to make sure I did my homework! I just found out about this quick debate late last night! It was fun though. Thanks for all your support everyone!!! What a nice way to celebrate Fanpop's birthday by having Fanpop promoted on national...okay fine Canadian cable...TV!
