Family Guy is great because there's so much to appreciate at once. A lot of people don't get that it's a weird, postmodern antisitcom that constantly comments on what it means to be on tv or part of the cultural landscape. It'd be one thing if it just did this and appealed to snooty bastards, but it's full of some of the best tasteless humor I've ever seen. The Prom Night Dumpster Baby and FCC musical numbers are awesome. American Dad, on the other hand isn't as strong because it tries to do what Family Guy does and tack a plot on. It behaves like a tv show and I don't think Seth Mc Farlane is good at tv that acts like tv.
