      Season 9 – American Dad!

      2013 Comedy Animation List
      Reviews Tomatometer 93% 100+ Ratings Audience Score 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. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Sep 30 Buy Now

      David W American Dad's ninth season offers a familiar comedy style coupled with a very slow secondary story progression with Hayley and Jeff. I would definitely watch this season again. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The first time I watched this show I asked myself, 'Do we really need another Simpsons rip-off from Seth MacFarlane?' but after 10 seasons watching this show next to Family Guy, I think I actually prefer American Dad. It won me over though I'm not sure how or why. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Contains mild spoilers…My favorite Seth McFarlane movie is Family Guy, but American Dad is a great spin off. It’s one of my favorite animated shows and I never miss an episode. Seth McFarlane is a comical genius and kind of a wacko. I‘ve liked his other stuff too. I will probably watch anything he makes. This revolves around Stan Smith and his family. He works for the CIA. Other things about it are similar to Family Guy well as the type of humor. If you’ve seen Family Guy you know what I mean. If you like Family Guy, you will probably like this. Seth McFarlane has this type of humor that’s kind of random and pop culture and he throws every joke in but the kitchen sink. You either love it or hate it. I love it, but Family Guy is still my favorite. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a fan of this show at all! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Although it's humor is slap-stick, it's still a funny joy-ride. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The writing is still keeping "American Dad!" going even if it has dropped a little in quality.

      Kevin McFarland AV Club This is the beginning of the inevitable end, which is a shame since for the better part of the Family Guy revival years, American Dad has been the better show...
