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

)

I'd rather have the family guy.

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*
I forgot about the pilot shown months ago >_<

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.

Well new Family Guy episodes start up May 1st, so at least we'll have a good summer!!

When Futurama came out, I enjoyed it. The characters were original. American Dad IS Family guy... with poor characters.

I watched the trailer. I lowered my expectations and was able to enjoy it.

The german skier scene cracked me up.

The show isn't THAT bad. Just give it a chance.

You can't be expecting Family Guy level stuff, because that just goes above and beyond. This show may have its moments. I love the dog trying to pee, but it ends up being just dust.

And, its ok, because new Family Guy is coming to Fox May 1st

I left my TV on Fox after the Super Bowl was on, and I half-watched the Simpsons episode. Then, American Dad was on. It barely grabbed my attention and I just turned it off about halfway. It's an ok show but I wouldn't sit down to watch it all the time.

What the hell? No one liked it? I thought it was great.
