Feud of the Week Jul. 25, 2005
NAME: Homer (Who You Callin' Yellow?) Simpson from The Simpsons
OCCUPATION: Underachieving, overweight patriarch of award-winning prime-time cartoon household the Simpsons
BRAGGING RIGHTS: 16 seasons on the longest-running sitcom in TV history
BEST PUNCH: In one episode an army of Homer clones wreaks havoc on Springfield. The dumbest clone is Peter Griffin, Homer's counterpart from Family Guy--a not-so-subtle jab at the fellow Fox show.
NAME: Peter (Just Wait Till I Get Animated) Griffin from Family Guy
OCCUPATION: Underachieving, overweight patriarch of award-winning prime-time cartoon household the Griffins
BRAGGING RIGHTS: In a TV first, brisk DVD sales revived his canceled show
BEST PUNCH: "In its prime, [The Simpsons] was one of the greatest comedy shows of all time," says Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. "But it's not the show it once was. It can't be."
WINNER: Homer. Any guy who outlasts Ozzie & Harriet is a classic. Plus he has access to nukes.
