Funny how (in England at least) Ren and Stimpy has been pretty much forgotten about, i actually think its really good fun.
The problem with Family Guy is the characters are so 2 Dimensional (no pun intended) though i do think Stewie is a really great creation. The reason the Simpsons is good is because you actually care about them and what happens to them, and i disagree with South Park being toted as "highbrow", people of almost all ages can enjoy it for various reasons, whether you like the social satire or the scat humour.
Incidentally i think the main constituent part of South Park is social satire rather than Pop Culture - like the way they did Scientology, it was about the way people behave under the influence of Religion.
Family Guy just goes "Oh look, its Gary Coleman, he's short..." yawn yawn yawn.
