American Dad
American Dad is a show by
Seth McFarlane, who is also well-known for creating
Family Guy. Unlike the latter, American Dad is a well-written, satirical comedy for politically conscience people. If you don't have a certain degree of intelligence, it's unlikely you'll really grasp the humor used in the show.Family Guy fan-boys are notorious for bashing American Dad due it being non-repetitive.Although one may not like the show, it's
hilarity can't be denied.

A cartoon about CIA agent
Stan Smith and his family, (son) Steve, (daughter) Hayley, (wife)
Francene, (alien) Roger, and (goldfish) Klaus. Despite being created by Seth Macfarlane, the way the jokes are played out are quite the opposite then that of family guy. While taking no
quick jab at Family guy, most of it's humor is quick gag jokes, that do not fit the plot, and involve some sort of random flashback. American Dad, however, does not do this and it's jokes can easily be applied to the plot/characters.
Example:
Example of this: In American Dad, Steve's friend,
Toshi, is often misunderstood as he speaks in Japanese. Thus, the characters
interpret it to fit their own mind, and as it's normally the opposite of what he has actually said, it makes a simple, humorous joke without having to use a
flashback to randomly go off the storyline.

Seth MacFarlane's other, less popular cartoon creation. It had a
rough start, but has been increasing in quality each season, mostly because they
eased up on the dumb political humor and came up with some outrageous storylines with jokes that are actually relevant to the plot.

Satirical cartoon about right-wing CIA agent
Stan Smith and his family - housewife (
Francine), geeky son (Stan), dirty liberal daughter (Hailey), a goldfish with the brain of a German guy (Claus) and an alien (Rodger). Created by
Seth MacFarlane (of Family Guy fame).
Underestimated TV show that deserves more than it's getting. Kicks ass on a level that only the most intelligent people can understand. If you don't like 'American Dad' you are mentally handicapped and deserve a good beating and a lesson in humour and politics.
