I totally agree about Family Guy. For the longest time I thought it was a cheap Simpsons knock-off and I actually preferred American Dad. Then something clicked and I finally 'got it'; now the two have switched in my estimation and FG is the superior (although I still love Seth McFarlane's impression of Paul Lynde, to the point where I really thought it was him). I do still think that The Cleveland Show is a spinoff too far though. Maybe I'll give South Park another go; I have to admit some of the clips I've seen people sharing on Facebook or whatever have been rather funny.
