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.
They are currently in season 14 and this show somehow still makes me laugh out loud more than almost any other show on TV.
I took a break from the show a couple of years ago, as around season 11 it seemed to be showing signs of wear, but wow did they course-correct.
Seasons 13 and 14 are among some of the best ever, and the writing is outstanding. They are still packing every episode with an insane amount of jokes, even on the level of <10 Simpsons. Also, this show somehow manages to tackle very common and complex human behavior in the most outlandish ways.
The fact that this show has been hilarious for 14 straight years is a feat I don't think any other show outside of South Park has achieved.
I really hope time helps more people find this absolute gem of a show.

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.
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?
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.

- 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.

- 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.
