Yeah, especially Lisa. In those old shorts she was basically just a female version of Bart.

Absolutely not.

Aside from having the same basic premise they were entirely different shows and like Satchmo said The Simpsons does predate MWC if you want to get technical about it.

It was a bit of a Simpsons clone at first, the basic premise is obviously the same, btut to be fair it's a premise that predates The Simpsons and goes all the way back to The Jetsons and The Flinstones.

Family Guy over the years has become much more of it's own show, for better or for worse. It's style of humor is quite different from The Simpsons.

Simpsons is a more satirical show where the episodes actually have some kind of point to make plus it's a show that is accessible to anyone.

Family Guy of course started the whole trend of super random humor and pop culture references that come out of nowhere, which is imitated (poorly) in a lot of stuff these days. Also, it's a much cruder and vicious show and relies much more on shock humor. and so it has a more niche appeal than The Simpsons does, I'm kinda surprised Family Guy ever got as popular as it did.

It's got fast moving plots and little time between jokes, so if something doesn't work it just moves ahead full force into the next bit. I think thats why its popularity really shot up, that and very persistant syndication... I could probably turn on the tele right now and flip through channels until I found an episode.
