American Dad: Thumbs way up! - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

I wasn't a huge fan of Family Guy, but I have to say that I just loved American Dad, and look forward to the new episodes in May.

My favorite part was when the (CIA employee) father brings home a 19-year-old half-dead dog for his son, and defends his decision for not getting a younger dog by saying: "Hey, this Dog has character. He was around for the Reagan administration, so he knows how things are supposed to be".

I'm a casual fan of Family Guy. Some of the humour is laugh out loud funny, some is chuckles and some falls flat. I found the same with American Dad which has a feel of a reshuffled Family Guy characters. The bit you mentioned I found the funniest too. Much like FG I'll probably watch AD when I remember it's on but won't go out of my way to watch it.

I thought that it was really funny. But the resemblence to Family Guy is undeniable. I wonder if there will be room for both AD and the new FG?

I thought the show was terrible and found myself changing the channel within the first two minutes. Family Guy is a much better show then this one and when it comes back in may, I don't see it getting picked up for another year yet alone lasting a month.

Seth included a scene/clip/featurette from American Dad on the Family Guy: The Freakin' Sweet Collection DVD. It was alright but I didn't feel it, it's like he created because Fox cancelled Family Guy and created a "PG-13" of Family Guy (?)
