Family Guy is commonly considered to a rip-off of The Simpsons, but I have to say I don't buy it. Aside from being an animated sitcom about a nuclear family, the two shoes are completely different in tone, humor, and characterization. You could use the exact same logic to claim King of the Hill is a Simpsons rip-off.BonsaiK said:It did falter over time, and some episodes nowadays are particularly rubbishy, but even at it's worst The Simpsons still fares better than clones such as Family Guy, that copy all the superficial aspects of The Simpsons but don't really understand how and why the humour aspect of it works.

After all, a crappy Simpsons episode is still better than most of American television. The inconsistencies don't bother me, it's a cartoon, after all.
