American Dad actually has likable characters who aren't total psychopaths. and it tends to have actual stories to it's episodes and sometimes multi episode storylines. and then you have family guy which is just a bunch of connected "this like the time that" skits

Both are pretty terrible now. Mike Barker must have been the glue that held American Dad together, ever since he left it's gone straight down the toilet. Still, I would go American Dad.

have you watched any episode in the last couple years? it's totally become even more cynical and loaded with non-sequitors than family guy is

american dad at its peak was probably better than family guy, even if just because it had more interesting stories that told more jokes based on the characters and scenarios than just tossing in random references

American Dad basically threw out their characters, they're just a bunch of stupid people doing stupid things. Steve is no longer smart. Haley is no longer liberal. Stan is no longer conservative. They no longer have an traits.

If you're going by the first couple seasons of each show, Family Guy; if you're going by the whole series, American Dad wins by a mile.

That has nothing to do with intelligence. Toshi is the only smart one in his group.

Because after s3 Family Guy not only rocketed into being hot garbage but also somehow inspired Fox to green light a second garbage spinoff.

Meanwhile, American Dad remained consistently decent if nothing better is on for far longer than Family Guy was watchable and never really became truly bad until, apparently (I havent watched actual non-streaming TV consistently in like 8 years), recently.

Cleveland Show

this one gets too much hate. it's still the worst of the three, but only S1 was truly bad. it got a lot better, but by then most had given up on it.

Family Guy at its best is better than American Dad at its best but American Dad has way more quality episodes.

My main problem with it is that Cleveland is like a totally different character in it.

Suddenly I realized The Orville really is the same formula.

No it isn't. Mercer is divorced (Kelly is hot though), no kids, no sadist (maybe Isaac, but not really given his development and he's not tiny) and his best friend is the ship's human pilot.

American Dad. Once they toned down Stan's rabid patriotism and realized the potential of Roger and his many personas (around season 2 maybe?), it became the funniest cartoon on TV, even better than peak Family Guy. I love all the side characters, the music and signing, running gags, and the random humor. Things changed once Mike Barker left and the show went to TBS, but it's still better than non-peak Family Guy.

Season 3 was like twenty years ago though. American Dad up until the most recent seasons were a lot more tolerable than family guy.

I hear a lot of peak FG is better than peak AD shit but... AD had seasons 6-7 or their post apocalyptic episodes or their Christmas episodes. FG never topped any of those. It didn't need random references to succeed either.

I haven't watched modern AD but sounds like it lost a lot of the charm.

To be honest I think Season 4 of Family Guy was actually pretty good too.

Otherwise I agree with what everyone else says. Family Guy does go to shit after the fourth season and American Dad was overall more consistent and had more not bad episodes.

I've watched way more of these shows than any person should. Don't be like me, kids.
