American Dad!

About

American Dad is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker, and Matt Weitzman. The show revolves around the eccentric Smith family, consisting of CIA agent Stan, his wife Francine, their children Hayley and Steve, and their unusual housemates: Klaus, a former East German athlete trapped in a fish's body, and Roger, an alien with a penchant for disguise and mischief. The series is set in the fictional town of Langley Falls, Virginia, and explores a blend of satire and absurd humor, often tackling political and social issues with a unique blend of relatable family dynamics and fantastical elements. The show's humor is characterized by its quirky characters and less reliance on cutaway gags compared to other MacFarlane series like Family Guy. It has been praised for its ability to balance absurdity with real-world issues, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. With over 386 episodes aired as of March 2025, American Dad has received numerous award nominations, including four Primetime Emmy Awards. The series transitioned from Fox to TBS starting with its twelfth season and continues to be a popular choice for audiences seeking both humor and social commentary.
