 Here is some competitors of Family Guy:


King of the hill




King of the Hill is an American adult animated sitcom created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels that ran from January 12, 1997, to May 6, 2010, on Fox. It centers on the Hills, a middle-class Methodist family in the fictional small town of Arlen, Texas. It attempts to retain a naturalistic approach, seeking humor in the conventional and mundane aspects of everyday life. Unlike other animated programs, plots were often cumulative, much like a prime-time drama. In addition, the show was known for its dramatic cliffhangers during season finales.





Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers is an American animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Belchers – parents Bob and Linda, and their children Tina, Gene, and Louise – who run a hamburger restaurant. The family was conceived by Bouchard after developing Home Movies for UPN.


Family guy is a established TV show and more well known than these 2 TV shows, Family guy has a very strong fan base, for instance they wrote one of the Characters off called Brian which is the talking dog, all the fans of family guy where unhappy and protested against it so they had to bring him back into the show. This shows how strong the fan base of family guy can be and the attachment fans have to some of the characters. Where if you look at king of the hill and bobs burgers there fan base is pretty smaller and they don't have that level of attachment yet. Bob's Burgers hasn't been a TV show for long it came out in 2011 so it wont be as big as Family Guy yet. With king of the hill, the show has been cancelled which shows that there wasn't enough fans following the show, unlike family guy which is still going. Family guy got made later than King of the Hill but has the same amount of seasons as the show, this shows the popularity of family guy and in comparison of King of the hill it has more longevity.  



Both of these TV shows are pretty similar to family guy because both of them both have a family, King of the hill is more similar because the have a pet dog, but with family guy there pet dog talks. Family guy was created before both of these shows, they are all owned by FOX. Both Family guy and King of the hill are making a common man because they both have a dog and they say a dog is a mans best friend, King of the hill is being more stereo typical by making the male character have a can of beer in his hand.
