Going strictly by laughs per minute, Family Guy probably does have the edge on the Simpsons, but the Simpsons have become such "real people" to me that I catch myself thinking of them as, well, real people. Don't get that with Family Guy.
And Simpsons episodes over the past few seasons have taken a few weeks to get in rhythm. The first few episodes generally are not too great, but by week four or so are back up to speed.
That said, it is absolutely kick ass that there are going to be more Family Guy episodes--the show's freakin' hilarious!
