[Correction]

Why do people hate MacFarlane's shows so much?

Probably because he keeps making the same show over and over again and hoping the odd special guest voice and musical number will keep people from noticing.

Straight from that article, I think this sums it up best:

To take a successful show and re-make it three different ways is either a reflection on the unoriginality of the creator, or the gullibility of the public - or both

Looking at that site thought, the video shows some references to Family Guy jokes mirroring the Simpsons. While there is some joke stealing going on, some of the examples are the same situations but they are either told differently or with different outcomes.

The writing staff from The Simpsons aren't completely innocent either. Some of their older writing staff had publicly stated that they would often steal ideas from Disney.
