American Dad

[Sparq]

Had its moments, but it really feels like a Family Guy rehash. Which I guess it is.

[ecnarf]

I thought it was actually funny, considering I was expecting it to be whoring out all the jokes from Family Guy.

 

I really liked the part with God on the phone, "Hold on, I've got a call on the other line, it's Cheney, I've got to take this. *goes to other line* Yes, Sir?"

[Sparq]

"THIS time it was just toast..."

 

"Oh...it really was gum."

 

"Is that you, Osama?"

 

Classic.

Some of it was funny, but the best part for me was before "God" cut to Cheney when he said something like:

God:"George could you downplay our relationship?"

George W. Bush:"What do you mean?"

God:"Well like when you say "God wanted you to be president", could you downplay that?..."

[BritSavant]

For a pilot, it was real good.

 

Could become a really good show of its own.

[HoboFactory]

Eh, not great.

[Baby Faced Assassin]

It was jsut an episode of Family Guy in Role Reversal.

[OWJeeves]

they're cancelling arrested development because of this show. Not worth it at all.

 

Family Guy is enough for me in the animated department.

[Paranoid Android]

FOX has cut the order for Arrested Development for this season (it's speculated that this season will go from 22 episodes to 17) so they can air American Dad in its timeslot (those idiots are labelling American Dad a success because its pilot got big ratings, not taking into account the only reason it got big ratings is because it had the fucking Super Bowl as its lead-in).

 

According to David Cross (Tobias) they've already shut down production on the show. Rumours are all over the place that the show will be cancelled all together in the next few days.

 

To my knowledge, no show has gone from having their order trimmed to having a full season the following year.

 

It's also the first time that a show that won the Outstanding Comedy Series award at the Emmys will be cancelled in the following year.

 

Even the writers admit American Dad was created to fill the Family Guy gap (which is why its a shameless rip-off). With FG coming back, this show really is unnecessary.

 

FOX is retarded.

[Sparq]

FOX is retarded.

No question. They've destroyed too many good shows.

[OWJeeves]

ie: Andy Richter Controls The Universe, Cracking Up, Undeclared

[unspoken]

I thought American Dad was good, but not as good as Family Guy and nowhere near as good as South Park.

[rmak]

its one episode. jees, give it a chance.

[anitanium]

i think that episode was on the family guy season3 dvd

[Jay]

Pretty good for a pilot, although it just seems like a poor-man's Family Guy, and with that show coming back, I don't forsee much good coming from this one.

[laser30]

Your right it would be a better show if family guy wasnt coming back, but still its atucally nice to see Americans take a shot at themselves for once

[Grizz1983]

It had its moments, but not enough of them. Maybe it will get better.

 

Cheers,

I didn't bother to stay up after the superbowl, but i really want to see it. Will the pilot be re-airing?

 

I was scared because the Fish and the alien might be too much like Brian and Stewie, and it being a FG rip off...

 

I cannot wait for new FG either way!!!

[SolidEric]

I felt it was more along the lines of the Fish being a mix of Brian and Stewie, while the Alien is... well... just there.

[Sparq]

The fish is Quagmire.

 

The Alien (Roger) is a lisping, annoying Brian.
