Of all time, I would of course say Simpsons. Currently, I would probably go with Family Guy. Not that I actually enjoy it any more than South Park, because I am a big of a South Park fan as anyone...
I just find myself watching the Family Guy repeats more than I do South Park. I know I've seen some of those FG reruns on Adult Swim at least 10 times. Now Simpsons, there has to be some episodes I've watched 30 times or more. So they win.

I voted for South Park, even though it was really tough for me to not vote for Family Guy. I do enjoy both shows a great deal, and I wouldn't want to miss either one.

I used to like all 3 shows, but quit watching all 3.
The Simpsons hasn't been funny in years. About 1 or 2 laughs per episode these days. Hopefully they've been saving the comedy for the movie.
South Park can still be funny but it's too topical and political these days.
Family Guy went to crap once they brought it back from the dead. The horrible songs put in every episode, taking a not funny joke and stretching it to 3 minutes, and starting every other joke with "Remember that time".

I'd say as of today, def South Park followed by The Simpsons.
Overall...the Simpsons wasn't just great when it was good, it was brilliant. South Park is always biting, and I love it. I also love it's offensiveness. Family guy was never funny and always seemed like the poor mans adult cartoon.
Also, I might add in that Futurama always stayed fresh, and that one of my current favorite adult toons is Drawn Together, which I find extremely funny and somewhat shocking.

Whoa.. what in the HELL happened here? I thought everyone on "the internet" was REQUIRED to love Family Guy and beat it into everyone else's heads on how "intelligent" and "sophisticated" the humor in it was. Did something change? Did I miss a memo?

I started really liking South Park over the last two seasons. The show had some hilarious episodes in that time. The current Family Guy season is mostly just stupid and I wonder if the cancellation wasn't such a bad idea.
And regarding the Simpsons....The first seven or eight season were just heaven. Since it has reached double digits it has lost its subversive edge. hough I still watch it...

I watched South Park for a few seasons and the movie and got tired with the act. I grew up on The Simpsons and watched it since the Tracey Ulman days. Family Guy is the funniest one right now pushing the limits of broadcast television.

I missed that memo too.1. South Park for me. Like the others I lost interest around the time of the movie, but have since gotten back into it. Brilliant as ever.
2. I have never seen the draw of the Simpsons. Way overrated, IMO. Just kind of, meh.
3. I've only seen a few Family Guy episodes and was not impressed at all.

I'd vote all, but there's no option.
