I've not seen an awful lot of South Park to be fair but I've seen most of Family Guy and I do prefer Family Guy. I think both shows are very smart though, although I guess Family Guy is just more to my personal taste. I do agree though that Family Guy is much more intelligent in a subtle way than South Park is though.
Having said that based on what I've seen of South Park I think I'm definitely going to enjoy the more recent seasons to the earlier ones though. For me though Family Guy has declined in recent years somewhat. I still like it but its not just as good as it was. That recentish episode where Peter and Quagmire had cuddle parties was horrible I thought. And they're starting to make jokes that run on too long too much of a recurring element I feel too - the chicken fight thing is just boring now.
When all is said and done though I feel that when its at its peak not many shows are as funny as Family Guy though.
