American Dad

Watching it so far reminds me ever so much of Family Guy..its crazy but then again it comes from the same guy who made Family Guy so what can I expect

I think the fish can relate to Stewie and the Alien relates to Brian (dog). Freaky

But I dont expect this show to get very far, honestly. Fox needs to get Family Guy and Futurama back with new episodes (I watched them before they hit Cartoon Network and never understand to this day why they cancelled them except ratings but meh, Fox is kicking themselves over and over by now

)

Was it? I dont remember a thread but I could be wrong. If there was yet a thread started before (I made this one about commenting in the pilot that was shown after Simpsons/Superbowl)\

*edit*

It is Family Guy II.

Yeah someone posted the pilot here a while ago. I also didnt bother watching it tonight.

Ya Dylflon posted the pilot here awhile ago. The one they showed tonight was basically the pilot but the added more to it, and Carmen Electra guest starred.

I don't understand why the creator just doesn't stick with Family Guy. If he's going to do an additional show, he needs to change the character design. The characters in American Dad are identical to the characters in Family Guy. At least change the eyes. Futurama did the same thing and I think that can be attributed to its lack of success. Although Futurama had a much different setting whereas American Dad is in the same time period and location. But both Futurama and American Dad are just variations of their predecessors. Their needs to be more change in the design style and genre for each show to successfully coexist with its relative show. Otherwise, Futurama and American shouldn't be introduced until after The Simpsons and Family guy have both ended.

I just kind of felt like it was an insult to Family Guy. But maybe that's just me.

I thought this show was funny, but reminded me alot of family guy

Teuthida · 02-13-2005, 12:41 PM

Yeah, it reminded me way too much of Family Guy. If Family Guy wasn't coming back, which it is, then I could see how it would be ok to be so similar but...

Like how Futurama was from Matt Groening yet didn't resemble the Simpsons at all except for slightly similar character designs. Separated itself well.

Jonbo298 · 02-13-2005, 12:47 PM

Yeah, Futurama was a little like the Simpsons but watching the shows never made me think of Simpsons which was nice.

AzeaL · 02-13-2005, 12:59 PM

Yeah, futurama is kind of original unlike this, reminds me too much of family guy
