Created by Seth MacFarlane of Family Guy fame, the weekly Fox animated sitcom American Dad! peered into the home life of a dedicated but thickheaded secret agent. Jut-jawed protagonist Stan Smith was a troubleshooter for the CIA who, by his own declaration, would "stop at nothing" to protect his country -- and in proving this he invariably brought down a great deal of pain and embarrassment to his family. In an all too typical example, Stan had a cute habit of shooting first and asking questions later, which wreaked havoc on faulty household appliances and the like. The Smith family included wife Francine, who had a tough time hiding her drug-addicted past from her straight-arrow husband; daughter Hayley, a community-college coed who'd gone over to extreme left-wing liberalism just to spite her dad; and dorky son Steve, who went to great and pathetic lengths to "be cool." Also members of the household were Roger, a squid-like, Paul Lynde-sounding space alien who'd been hiding out in the family's home ever since Steve rescued him from Area 51; and Klaus the goldfish, who as a result of a misfired mutation experiment spoke in a sinister Peter Lorre-ish German accent. The first cartoon series to truly reflect the singular paranoia of the post-9/11 era, American Dad! premiered February 6, 2005, right after Fox's telecast of the Super Bowl (the same route previously traveled by MacFarlane's Family Guy).

American Dad is abslutely hilarious. It s written by the same folk who created Family Guy. The humor is very similar. In this case, though, the Dad is an upstanding CIA agent who loves guns and violence. Unluckily for him, his daughter is a militant vegitarian and peace lover and his son is a bit of a nerd.
They also keep a slightly camp alien named Rodger in the house, Rodger saved Stan's life and now Stan has to hide him here on earth. Rodger is basically a vain, layabout who enjoys drinking, dressing up etc.
The whole show is just as daft as Family Guy. Although it's different enough to also pull in a new audience. If you love Family Guy give this a try, its hilarious!

I absolutely adore this series for its "real-talk" insanity. If you are looking for an animated comedy series on par with Family Guy but with more of a "patriotically prejudiced" twist, then American Dad is well worth watching. (Also, unlike Family Guy, there is a minimal amount of random story lines/allusions peppered in each season, which I believe Family Guy has butchered the past two seasons).The first few episodes of Season 1 do not do the episodes of the remaining season justice. The familial relationships that keep the comedic writing going in full force are a joy to watch, with some unexpected surprises hidden within. Enjoy the hilarity!
