I don't count any others in the genre.
Futurama first for me. Then family = South park, then american Dad and finally simpsons.
The new simpsons all suck but the old episodes man make it to #1 for me.

Has to be Futurama for me too. It's just leagues ahead of the others in my opinion.

I've been enjoying the new Simpsons. They're really weird in a lot of ways, like some new episodes actually give me a feeling of nostalgia. None of the shows in the pool have really made me laugh in years, but I find the Simpsons to be the easiest to watch as it's grown into a strange beast that's just interesting to watch survive.
It's interesting in a way similar to the Fall of Rome or end of Imperialism. You see the Simpsons facing competition (I want to say "attacks") from so many angles in terms of the sheer volume of shows using the same formula, it's age, and it's content, that I would expect to see a hint of the desperation it has to survive by making some almost radical changes, but you don't see that. The Simpsons is being written in such a professional and comfortable way this current season that I can't help but enjoy it. Particularly their shift back into episodes that have little lessons mixed in. Which is a touch I particularly enjoy in watching a show instead of pure unending wackiness throughout the entire episode, what they started doing around 2002 or so.
I've only started watching Simpsons again this year, after not really watching any new episodes since 2003. If I had cable, I'd probably still be watching South Park. I thought Futurama was alright whenever I could catch it. I can't sit through an episode of anything by Seth MacFarlane though, his art style is just so awful in my eyes (Seriously, fuck him and his characters whose eyelids can close from the bottom. That doesn't convey any fucking emotion it's an inhuman expression!) and I'd say that his material can be found in convenient little clips on hulu.

You know've never really looked at the new simpsons that way. But for that matter I've stayed far far away from it because the few times I'd watch it the sheer randomness and unhomerness homer displayed scared me away. I would start watching again.. maybe but really thier storylines and plots are just too.. wrong you can tell they really try hard to be funny.
Faimly guy only reaches me on pop culture refferances. Which they survive on. I know the clips they have are random and totally irreveleant to the story, but it's nice to be sitting in a room full of peaple and then a family guy joke comes up that nobody in the room understands but you. Pretty gratifying. Peter anoiys the living piss out of me though, his stupidy is not cute or funny for the most part.
What I like is quite obvious. The Dog and the baby can talk. And they have very amusing adventures. Which also is funny because I like the Alien and the Fish (God I love that fish) on American Dad too.

Futurama is clearly the best thing there, with Family Guy being the worst.
