Family Guy does alot of the "lets cut to a clip that is unrelated to the episode at hand because it is funny" scenarios, so most of the show doesn't follow the plot. Maybe only 8-10 minutes of it actually relates. Alot of "remember that one time...." and then it cuts to that clip, then back again. I like Family Guy alot, but it can be repetitive.

Haven't watched the Simpsons in ages, though I used to alot when I was younger. Homer and Peter (the fathers) are the most annoying thoughtless characters in the world.
