American Dad!

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.

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

I was expecting this to just be a family guy clone with different character, This is more than that, its hilarious. The characters and humor are on the same sort of level as family guy but Seth McFarlane managed to work his magic and create a whole new different level of humor and wit for this show which sets itself apart from family guy.

A secret service FBI agent, prone to overreacting must find a way to use his skills to help his family and their new illegal alien housemate with basic troubles in life. Problem is sometimes it proves too much with hilarious results.

Remember this isn't a kid's show and I guess thats what makes this and family guy so special. They can put in all the added toilet humor it needs and the writers seem to know how to do it perfectly. The characters are great but the main character Stan Smith stands out above all the rest (With their alien friend coming in a close second). Anyone who wants a laugh, drop everything and watch this.

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.

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.
