    Still Hilarious!

    American Dad is another classic created by Seth McFarlane. It has remained the same hilarious show for 17 seasons now and is just as funny now as when it first started. While it's not as good as McFarlane's other classic animated show Family Guy, it's still one of the better animated shows aimed at adults that I've ever seen. It's amazing to me that it has been able to stay as funny as it has over that many seasons and doesn't look like it's slowing down anytime soon. It went on hiatus for a while and then TBS made the incredibly smart decision to bring it back because it's now one of their best shows.

    Better than family guy

    HIGHLY underrated show. Top 3 funniest animated shows out there, if not, #1 for comedy in an animated series.
    Aaron1375

    I think I am beginning to enjoy it more than Family Guy.

    I used to watch this one on occasion, but for the most part I would rather see Family Guy, but this one seems to have grown on me a bit. In fact, these days I prefer American Dad to Family Guy as I like Stan more now than Peter, Francine more than Louis and Roger a whole heck of a lot more than Stewie. Sorry, but I do not like how his character is compared to the earlier more dark version. This one follows the exploits of Stan and his family as they go through some crazy stuff in a different way than Family Guy as the stories are more coherent. Family Guy gets to random, to many Star Wars and other special episodes, do not get me wrong I still find it a funny show, it is just now I like American Dad more. This show also has the benefit of having Patrick Stewart doing the voice of Stan's boss. I never enjoyed Star Trek The Next Generation, but I enjoy him in everything else he does including this show. The animation is about the same as Family Guy and there are a few similarities, but for the most part they are two different shows. The show does have a tendency to showcase Roger a bit more than Steve the son and the daughter who I cannot recall her name, but it is not as bad as Stewie's overshadowing of Chris and Meg. So for an animated show that relies a bit more on plot, but still has similar humor to Family Guy this is the show to watch.

    Is to Family Guy what Futurama is to the Simpsons

    On first glance, American Dad looks like a carbon copy of Seth MacFarlane's "other" show Family Guy. The animation is near identical, the lead character Stan Smith's knuckle headed optimism and in-your-face presentation doesn't so much recall Peter Griffin as grab you by the throat and scream in your face and Roger the alien and Klaus the goldfish work in much the same way Stewie and Brian do in the previous show. So far so very familiar, as though MacFarlane dressed up his fourth FG series with different characters when it was initially cancelled so as to stay on the air but stick with it, and American Dad will eventually reveal itself as a superior cartoon to it's predecessor.

    Sure, the humour is once again a mixture of insightful witticisms, biting satire and odd bursts into toilet humour but rather than the chaos of Family Guy where the plot seems to revolve round the jokes, here the opposite is true. The flashbacks are almost totally absent and instead each episode features a structure and character development that is normally missing from the first show. Okay some of the episodes fall a bit flat but nevertheless, there are considerably more hits than there are misses and when it's good, it's brilliant. "A Smith In The Hand" for example is in this writer's humble opinion, the funniest thing MacFarlane and his team have ever produced.

    What's more, American Dad is considerably more politically-orientated and everything you could conceive about the USA's current state of fear mongering and distrust is put beneath a microscope and parodied mercilessly. Stan Smith is a boorish depiction of all that paranoia rolled into one and some of his outbursts and overreactions are hilarious. Take the scene where he locks up his new Arab neighbours in his back garden for instance in a moment that scarily recalls the nightmarish conditions of Guantanamo bay yet still manages to be side splittingly funny or any of his numerous conceited one-liners ("only women have emotions son, they come from their ovaries").

    Only time will tell if American Dad can outlive the shadow of it's far more successful big brother, but like the relationship between Futurama and the Simpsons beforehand, it's often a far funnier and considerably more focused show that deserves a wider audience. Highly recommended.

    So Funny!

    American Dad! Is one of the best animated shows of all-time. It's created by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, Ted, The Orville) so you know it's hilarious. Everything MacFarlane touches turns to gold. He just hits home run after home run. What makes this show stick out more than others is that every character on the show is equally funny. They all have their moments that'll make you laugh out loud. I'd have to say that American Dad! Is easily one of the most under appreciated animated shows ever. It's prob on my Top 5. It's been on since 2005 so it's changed with the times and still been just as funny as the early seasons.

    • Trivia
      Originally, the character of Klaus was going to be a native of France named François. When Dee Bradley Baker auditioned, he told the producers that his French accent wasn't very good, and that he would read the lines in a German accent instead. Producers liked Baker's performance so much, they decided to make Klaus German.
    • Goofs
      Early episodes had Roger gradually learn to use disguises to go out into the world; but in later seasons we see that he had actually been using disguises for decades before he met the Smiths.
    • Quotes

      Roger the Alien: [after a hallucinogenic meal] I just don't have the words for it. Schmooblydong. Is that a word?

    • Crazy credits
      The Credits end with a Security Guard from Fuzzy Door Productions waving and saying "Bye, have a beautiful time!"
    • Alternate versions
      Up until the '08-'09 season, the opening credits featured a shot of Stan looking at a newspaper headline, which would be a joke headline relating to recent events. Episodes shown on Adult Swim have the headlines blanked out, leaving Stan looking at just white space. The credit sequence for new episodes for '08 - '09 eliminate this sequence altogether.
