how is family guy and simpson are alike?

Question

what are they alike

Answer 1

The shows are similar because they revolve around the American nuclear family. They are both cartoons and do have a similar type of humor. The shows do make fun of the other for example on the Simpson's, they have done the following:
* In "Missionary: Impossible", a pledge drive is held by the Fox Network to raise money. As she stands in front of a TV displaying the Family Guy logo, celebrity telethon participant Betty White says: "So, if you don't want to see crude, low-brow programming disappear from the airwaves, please, call now."
* In "Treehouse of Horror XIII", Homer creates an army of clones of himself that are each progressively dumber than the real Homer. One of the clones is shown to be Peter Griffin.
* In "Treehouse of Horror XVI", Executive Producer Al Jean was credited as Al "Family Guy" Jean in the tradition of giving the staff horrific, scary and/or unpleasant name variations.
* In "The Italian Bob", Peter Griffin is shown in a book of criminals with the charge of "Plagiarismo" (Plagiarism) and Stan Smith, of American Dad!, is shown with the charge of "Plagiarismo Di Plagiarismo" (Plagiarism of Plagiarism).
* In "The Wandering Juvie", Gina Vendetti calls Bart "momma's boy" and "family guy" after he calls her "such a psycho" and "future skank."
On Family guy, the make the following fun of The simpsons:
* In the four minutes of opening of "PTV", Stewie (in a reference to the opening of The Naked Gun) rides his tricycle through Quahog until he pulls into his driveway. The scene then parallels the opening of The Simpsons; only instead of Homer running into the house, he hits the door and is knocked out. Peter then opens the door, looks at Homer, and says "Hey Stewie. Who the hell was that?". Some fans of The Simpsons compare this gag to the episode "Treehouse of Horror IX," which aired in 1998 and featured a Halloween-themed revision of the opening in which Marge's car not only chases Homer, but winds up killing him as well. According to the PTV commentary on the volume 4 DVD set, this joke was originally intended to feature Peter in the same animation of Homer in The Simpsons intro sequence, rather than Homer Simpson himself.
* In the online game Stewie Live, Stewie responds to any command typed to him with a remark or action. When most references related to The Simpsons are typed to Stewie, for example, "The Simpsons", "Homer" or "Bart", Stewie will respond by turning around and urinating.
* The episode "Mother Tucker" features a cutaway gag in which Stewie claims he "sold out" when he starred in a series of Butterfinger commercials, as The Simpsons did in the early 1990s. Stewie says Bart's catchphrase from the commercials, "Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger," before adding a forced "D'oh!"
However, even though they make fun of each other shows, Seth MacFarlane and Matt Groening have been recording of saying the following:
"You know, it's funny. Matt Groening and I actually have a great relationship. We've talked several times in the past few weeks and joked about this. One day out of nowhere this rumor pops up in papers and magazines. Actually, it was probably one comment that was taken out of context in Blender. Matt's just a cool guy, and fortunately neither of us was ruffled by any of that stuff. We just laughed it off." (Seth MacFarlane)
"The rivalry is very affectionate. Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, is a good guy and he does great work, and I certainly have no problem with the perceived competition. If anything, we have the same kind of competition that Pugsley Addams and Eddie Munster had in the old days. They duked it out a few times, and so did Seth and I, but that's probably before your time. I think Family Guy and American Dad have definitely staked out their own style and territory, and now the accusations are coming that The Simpsons is taking jokes from Family Guy. And I can tell you, that ain't the case." (Matt Groening)
However on another occasion, Seth MacFarlane has said about the people who work on the simpsons:
"Apparently they hate our guts. I'm not sure why. I've said this before, but that show, at its best, is up there with the best episodes of All In The Family, Mary Tyler Moore, and Dick Van Dyke, I think. I was reading a quote from one of the writers, from a lecture that he gave, that said "The Simpsons staff hates Family Guy." Who knows why? I'm not losing any sleep over it.
...We got that criticism early on, and I think any animated show that comes along is inevitably going to be compared to The Simpsons. King of the Hill was compared to The Simpsons, and is clearly its own show in its own right. It's not even close." (Seth MacFarlane).
