It's still a great show, but it doesn't stop me from being of the mind that "Family Guy" is a better show for my tastes NOW. If we compared, say, season 5 of "The Simpsons" to "Family Guy" now, that'd be a different bowl of rice krispies altogether. McFarlane is an undeniable genius. Matt Groening is as well. They may both have different ways of getting their commentary across, but they both do it poignantly, whether it's with Bart learning Krusty is a loser he shouldn't idolize, or Peter finding out that he's better off if he doesn't take coupons from giant chickens.
