I haven't liked South Park in many, many years. Probably since it started taking them a week to do an episode, so they kept focusing on "current events". South Park always starts with a cool idea, then beats it to death by the end. The biggest thing about the show is that NONE of the characters are appealing, even in an "unlikeable" way. Cartman is annoying, Kyle and Stan are bitches, is Kenny even still on the show? He wasn't bad, hah. Chef is gone. Etc. Towlie was probably the best character, and only because he's voiced by one of the PFFR dudes!
Simpsons isn't as funny as it used to be, but it's got its moments still. The new episodes are actually quite intelligently written and brilliant, in a COMPLETELY different way. I miss the jaw-droppingly hilarious stuff, but it's still a good show.
Family Guy sucked, and has always sucked, but I kinda dig it now, because it KNOWS it sucks. So, they purposely test the audience and do stupid shit (10 minute chicken fights, 6 minutes of Conway Twitty) to alienate people. I can respect that!!
Really, the most consistently LONG-RUNNING great "cartoon" to ever air on television was King of the Hill.
Now, if you want to talk about Rocko, Doug, Home Movies, 12 Oz. Mouse, Ren and Stimpy (first 3 seasons), etc., etc., etc.... now we're talking QUALITY.
