About This Quiz

Can you believe that "The Simpsons" has been on TV for 30 years? Most people never do anything for 30 years, and that includes things like jobs and marriages. It can't be overstated just how amazing that is. And it's also worth recognizing how they paved the way for the whole Animation Domination block that has seen shows like "King of the Hill" and "American Dad" come and go as well as current favorites "Bob's Burgers" and "Family Guy." These shows have proven cartoons aren't just for kids, and some of the best comedy in TV history can be found in animation. But which one is the best one? Which animated family speaks to you like no other?

Maybe you've grown up alongside Bart and Lisa Simpson. Maybe Peter Griffin's completely moronic yet hilarious view of the world cracks you up like nothing else. Or perhaps you can see a bit of yourself in Gene, Louise and Tina Belcher. Whatever it is, we know there's one family that stands out as your absolute favorite, and it's time for us to get to the bottom of who it is. Tune your TV to Animation Domination and take the quiz to find out!
