Opinion of American Dad?

[RR1997]

American Dad is one of my favorite shows on television and I think it's much better than Family Guy (although Family Guy is good too).


What do you guys think?

[YaBoyNY]

American Dad is alright, but Family Guy is awful.

[dead0man]

They are both fine shows, I don't even hate the Cleveland Show.  AD and FG can get a bit preachy at times, especially AD, but the jokes are generally often enough and good enough to keep any of them as background noise.


but none of them are as good as South Park <elbows BRTD in the ribs>

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Vastly superior to Family Guy.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

American Dad consistently made me laugh in every episode, which Famiky Guy started doing way less since like 2011. But the move to TBS ruined it. I guess the showrunner leaving resulted in lower quality, I barely laughed at all the entire season.

Roger is one of my favourite characters on television.

Roger is one of my favourite characters on television.

I couldn't agree more.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Better than Family Guy, but still not a show I'd watch.

I liked it very much for the first few years.  The first episode of American Dad that I ever watched was in Spanish. I was in Alajuela, Costa Rica, sitting in my hotel room reading the newspaper and the cover story of the TV weekly section was about a new show on Fox called American Dad.  Here's an excerpt from a story in the Teleguía section of La Nación from July 31, 2005 that I posted some time ago:

La serie pinta la vida familiar de Stan Smith, un agente de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia de EU, conservador e intolerante, amigo íntimo de las armas y paranoico en grado superlativo.

After reading that I really wanted to watch the show.   I had seen Simpsons in Mexico and King of the Hill in Guatemala, and found that some of the humor didn't really translate well, but I have to admit that American Dad was very funny in Spanish.  I think the Costaricans could definitely relate to it, given their political history.  Later, when I got back home to--let's see... I was living in Columbus, Mississippi at the time--when I got back to Columbus I made sure to watch it every week.

I suppose my tastes have changed.  I usually watch Ancient Aliens during that timeslot, although they're starting to run out of material as well.  

Voted FF.

[RINO Tom]

I've never thought it was funny...

[Mr. Smith]

Decent, but hardly anything groundbreaking.

[SWE]

It's kind of like Family Guy, but with jokes.

Roger is my favorite character on television.

A scammer, a murdered, a rapist, a coward, an immature egoist... but despite thatthat's why he's great.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

It's a good show.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Fantastic. It's much better than FG because it's jokes aren't just random pop culture references.

[Türkisblau]

I don't care for it.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I don't care for it.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I consider it quite inferior to Family Guy. It has its moments and some great episodes but the lack of cut away gags hurts.

[TDAS04]

It's not bad, but not as good as Family Guy.

[Cubby]

It's not bad, but not as good as Family Guy.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I've watched it on and off since it debuted. I used to like it the same as Family Guy but over the last few years I've stopped watching, unless nothing else is on.

It's more of a normal sitcom than FG and I think that's why I like it less. It can still be funny though.

Roger was never a favorite character of mine. I like Steve, Bulloch and Barry more than him.

[Clark Kent]

Better than Family Guy, at least. MacFarlane is awful, which is why I usually like Stan better before he "learns a lesson".
