I love this show. It's such a relief to see a show like "American Dad," especially on Fox. It can't be helped that some people are too unconscious to understand the desperately needed, hilarious criticism that it offers. It's "Sullivan's Travels" meets "Dr. Strangelove," rolled up into an animated series. Yeah, it's probably too smart for the masses, but we have to start somewhere. If it's marketed like "The Family Guy," during DVD release, then hopefully it will later be recognized for its absolute brilliance. Speaking of brilliance, airing the first episode immediately after the Super Bowl was unquestionably the most impeccably timed programming in the history of television. Did I mention that I love this show? That I need this show for sustenance?
This show is pretty funny. The characters can be annoying at times or far to grotesque. But most of the time they are funny. Especially Roger, he is my favorite. I think its better than family guy because it hasn't gone downhill like it has. But also it is a little bit to close to family guy. But overall this is a funny show that would be enjoyed by people who like family guy.
At first glance this show may look like a dodgy Family Guy copy but with different characters but it is far from that. American Dad focuses more on political humor and jokes that never fall flat. In a way it is Seth McFarlanes' Futurama. By this I mean its a show made by him that looks like his other show but has a completely different vibe. Fans of Family Guy constantly hate on this show because it has a different style of humour and tone. It still has curses, crude humor, violence and sexual references like Family Guy but focuses on making fun of political situations and current events. I say definitely check out American Dad if you want a nice satisfying half an hour of comedy. It is well worth watching.
HIGHLY underrated show. Top 3 funniest animated shows out there, if not, #1 for comedy in an animated series.
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.

- TriviaOriginally, 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.
- GoofsEarly 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.

Roger the Alien: [after a hallucinogenic meal] I just don't have the words for it. Schmooblydong. Is that a word?
- Crazy creditsThe Credits end with a Security Guard from Fuzzy Door Productions waving and saying "Bye, have a beautiful time!"
- Alternate versionsUp 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.
