San Diego Union-TribuneRobert P. LaurenceJul 10, 2013
Season 1 Review: "Dad" is even spottier than "Family Guy," a nearly random collection of blackouts in search of a story. [29 Apr 2005]

Chicago Sun-TimesThomas ConnerJul 10, 2013
Season 1 Review: The jokes aren't funny, the story is silly (or, really, not silly enough) and the new writers follow the "Family Guy" model so closely they fail to explain any of the characters or even the premise of the show. [28 Apr 2005]

VarietyBrian LowryJul 10, 2013
Season 1 Review: As in "Family Guy," MacFarlane and company rely on a fast-moving formula predicated on the mindset that if a joke doesn't work, another will be along momentarily. There's something to that for small fry, but the low batting average and scatological emphasis conspire to narrow the program's appeal. [4 Feb 2005]

Season 1 Review: Determinedly irreverent and politically incorrect, but so obvious in its targets and so unoriginal in its barbs that it ends up being mostly an ode to its own crudity. [29 Apr 2005]

Season 1 Review: The only fun is in trying to enumerate how many ways it's offensive. [30 Apr 2005]
