Arthur

A childrens TV show, aired on PBS Kids. It is one of the highest rated shows on its network with over 12 seasons, and it`s still running! Arthur can be enjoyed by people of all ages, even old people. It makes parodies of events in history, pop culture, and sometimes it has satire humor.

Arthur can be compared to the Simpsons in many ways:
1. Both very popular.
2. Both have a legacy in their genre.
3. Both series are starting to have more episodes with no real climax or a good conclusion.

Really

A statement of disbelief in a sarcastic manner. It`s like "seriously" but more obnoxious.

The Simpsons - Season 21 - "O Brother, Where Bart Thou?"

Lisa: Global warming can cause weather at both extremes. Hot AND cold.
Homer: I see. So you`re saying "warming" makes it colder.
-Homer calls Lisa crazy and does a stupid dance-
Lisa: Really? Really? Uh huh.. All right.

Family Guy

Simple math, really.

The Simpsons minus the genius-ness that the Simpsons series has equals an overrated TV show for people who find irrelevant and random clips humorous (aka Family Guy).

Some people may think that South Park was being "random" with the manatees on the Cartoon Wars episode, but unlike Family Guy, this idea was a great use of metaphor of how it seems as if the writing staff of Family Guy just take random ideas ("idea balls") and put them together to form a "Remember the time when..." joke.

The only way I`ll ever credit Family Guy as "genius" is if the whole reason of creating Family Guy were to make easy money by targeting the not-as-mentally-or-emotionally-intelligent group of America (which appears to be a lot) with cheap jokes.

Family Guy Staff: Let`s take 5 idea balls and write another one of our classic jokes!

(more math)

"Laundry" + "Date" + "Winning" + "Mexico" + "Gary Coleman" = Lois asks Peter to do the laundry, and Peter recalls winning a date in Mexico with Gary Coleman.

"Remember the time when I won a date in Mexico with Gary Coleman?"
