The market is keeping it there. No matter how lame Family Guy is, it has a market share that shows the public wants it on the air.

On the other hand, South Park is so intellectually stimulating, there is little doubt why it is on the air and smokes Family Guy.

I’ve never watched an episode of Family Guy. However, I have seen some clips of it on the web and I did laugh.

I’m not saying it’s not funny..I’m saying it’s not appropriate for early evening network TV.

no doubt. The surest way to be “featured” on South Park is to denigrate it publicly.
