It is amazing to me that during Sweeps we used to get hookups that were unforeseen but this year the trend is Death of major character.
The Simpsons is also still gearing up to knock off a major character this season. We know it's not Krabappel, as they already stated that Marcia Wallace's death was a coincidence and that character will simply be retired like Phil Hartman's were.
Family Guy has been a bit of a roller coaster for me. I didn't really like it when it first came on. Then came to appreciate it in reruns. As I've gotten older though, I don't really like it again. I can sit down and watch all the original episodes of the Simpsons and still thoroughly enjoy them. Family Guy I grew out of.
I think South Park nailed what's wrong with the show. It's a lot of throwaway gags, references to 80s pop culture, and shot for shot remakes of famous movie scenes that have nothing to do with the plot. A lot of which a big chunk of their fanbase don't get, and mistake for original ideas. American Dad was always his best show and really should have been the more popular of the three. Family Guy appeals more to teenage Dude Bros though.
