I don't really remember The Simpsons, but Side Show Bob remains, but I can see a link between that show and Family Guy, and a further link to TBBT(the original group where like a family), like you say 'multi layered character narratives'. I wonder if someday I'll only remember Stewie and Sheldon! I think you've pretty much got it!
