10 Reasons Why Family Guy Is Better Than The Simpsons

3. Family Guy Has Been Back From Cancellation Multiple Times

The Simpsons is the longest running animated show in history. That is a big achievement. However, it is a bigger achievement to get a major studio to reverse the decision to cut a program; few shows have managed this. Futurama was recently revived, but Family Guy has been cancelled and revived twice. The smart comment on this would be that The Simpsons is good enough to avoid cancellation, but fans continued to tune in to reruns and buy DVD sets, showing the studio that people genuinely wanted to watch this edgy comedy. Fan power is often overlooked, but it is something that has made some incredible changes to television history; without fan power Star Trek would never have received a third series, and in a similar way the die-hard devotion of these loyal fans illustrate how different these shows followers are. People stick The Simpsons on if there is little else to watch, people tune in at an allocated time to watch Family Guy. This difference in allegiance illustrates how Family Guy is better; these are true fans, not flaky occasional viewers.
