Rex, you've apparently never seen The Simpsons. I'd bet it's "cleaner" than any other sitcom on TV. South Park is pure satire. Muslims, Tom Cruise, Barb Streisand, Phil Collins, Kanye West etc., do not want the creators dead or broke because of any scatoligical humor. You'd know this if you actually watched before commenting. Agree on Family Guy though. Not to say it isn't funny sometimes. The creator, Seth MacFarlane is the highest paid actor/director/producer/writer etc. in television, so someone thinks he's funny.
I've watched them all. To say that the Simpsons is cleaner than some sitcoms isn't saying much--they aren't fit for viewing either. I've heard the worst language on Southpark that can be said. They once ran a counter on the screen to count how many times a certain word was said (I posted the word here earlier, but my post was deleted. Probably rightfully so, but I wasn't using it gratuitously, I was trying to make a point. Obviously, I am not posting the word now).
I can watch Bugs Bunny with the kids. I cannot, and would not, do so with the Simpsons, Southpark, or Family Guy. My television viewing with family now pretty much rotates around the Science Channel, E-Westerns, and sports.
