Stan Smith is a CIA agent painfully dedicated to homeland security. His home life includes doting wife Francine, a ditzy housewife, liberal daughter Hayley and socially awkward teenaged son Steve. Also living in the family's Langley Falls, Va., home are Klaus, a goldfish with the brain of an East German Olympic ski jumper, and Roger, an escaped alien from Area 51, who Stan houses in defiance of his employer due to owing Roger a "life debt." Sounds just like the typical American family, right? Maybe not.

Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com For now, it just feels like FOX is spinning its animated wheels. Rated: 2/5 Sep 30, 2012 Full Review Kevin McFarland AV Club There is enough material in the first two acts to laugh at to tip the scales to success. Rated: B Sep 30, 2012 Full Review Emily Estep We Got This Covered It's hard for me to personally embrace an American Dad! episode that doesn't have more of Roger, but for this final season premiere, I think I can make an exception Rated: 7/10 Sep 29, 2013 Full Review Chris Swanson What Culture Complaints aside, I still think this was a good, solid, entertaining story.
