Family Guy's just gotten too formulaic...
Whereas South Park is self-aware enough (as a good satire should be) to actually mock itself when one of its formulas becomes tired and beaten to death...e.g. Kenny dying in each episode.
Kstone, you're right that Family Guy does have at least one or two LOL moments in each episode; but overall, the story arcs in South Park are - for me at least - a much more hilarious experience!
I just saw the "Killer whale to the moon" SP episode in a local TV rerun last nite - it was the kind of comic/satirical gem that Family Guy (even with its best Stewie moments) simply cannot rival.
