    Not even remotely entertaining. It's the same tired Seth McFarlane cartoon formula: anthropomorphic animal family member, dumb kids, father figure who gets sucked into hairbrained schemes and shenanigans.

    I know Fox must have felt bad for cancelling Family Guy back in the day, but giving a guy who ran out of jokes a long time ago 200% more time slot to fill each week was a terrible idea.

    This show is literally crap. If you're thinking of watching this, don't bother. It's basically a rip off of Family Guy only less funny. I would recommend watching something else like The Simpsons or South Park.

    I can't believe people watch this crap. American Dad is terrible and unoriginal. I registered for metacritic simply to give it a 0. Watch Futurama or South Park or The Simpsons. This show is a complete joke compared to all of them.

    I can't believe you people watch this! This show is boring and has lame jokes to it. Family Guy is better cause it's more original than American Dad. The show is a copy of Family Guy that just tires me out. Family Guy I have to admit isn't as funny as it used to be. I mean lets face it, the world isn't as funny anymore, cause people are running out of jokes. But the maker of The Simpsons,I can't believe you people watch this!

Family Guy I have to admit isn't as funny as it used to be. I mean lets face it, the world isn't as funny anymore, cause people are running out of jokes. But the maker of The Simpsons, I'm surprised he can think of more jokes for the show and more plots for new episodes. I am just amazed this show is still on after being on since 1989. But really guys, American Dad is NOT funny and is boring and stupid.… Expand

    As with "Guy," the idea is to cram this new animated cartoon series with a laugh a second, or at least a second-by-second attempt. Trouble is, too many of the laughs are so-so, too fleetingly funny or disturbingly potty-mouthed. [4 Feb 2005]

    About as appetizing as fried roadkill. [5 Feb 2005]
