    I find it [strike]an outstanding political commentary[/strike] funny.

    Pilot was a pile of crap.

    Show is legend

    Started off fairly bad...then got very very funny ( around the time of the golden turd episode ) but since then it has been going downhill and I tend to lose interest in episodes half way through. I find the characters barely likeably and the whole things feels like a watered down family guy.

    i had such high hopes for this show. maybe too high. Think i maybe laughed once so far having seen 3 episodes. It just seems like cheap shots at easy targets, you know?

    I think it's a really good show. A lot of people are comparing it to Family Guy but in my opinion we need to leave Family Guy out of it all and just look the show it's self. There is some parts in it that aren't great but then there are other parts that are really good.

    The part where he interogates himself, I loved that.

    Meh, it's decent, no Family Guy though. And it kind of annoys me how a lot of the characters are done by Family Guy actors. Seth McFarlane is no Hank Azaria when it comes to voices.

    Very Enjoyable!!!! Its no Family guy though!

    I still think that American Dad is a good spin-off from Family Guy.

    It brutal in its own way and after 17 episodes it just keep getting better and better.

    I like it. Many of the characters outside of the dad can be annoying at first, and of course it's nothing to family guy, but what is really.

    A good show. the fish and the alien are terrible carachters some classic lines in it tho. "Do you like being able to shave your legs? because when the terrorists take over that that will be the first to go"

    :eek: Klause the fish is great! If I had a fish I wish he'd speak German.

    American Dan is very good and for me just as good as
    family guy. As for the stupid remark about the fish and
    rodger the aline are terrible ARE YOU MAD rodger is by
    far the best in the show.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭Zhane


    does anyone know which Irish station has picked this up? emailed tv3 about it cos i heard a rumour about it being shown on that, but they said "TV3 does not hold the rights to American Dad", and im just wondering if RTE picked it up....or maybe Channel 6 did....interesting if true


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 990 ✭✭✭mickymg2003


    No irish stations have it but BBC have it. Thats the only place ive seen the show so far.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭kyp_durron


    Just saw it for the first time.

    I found it painfuly unfunny, maybe it'll grow on me but I don't think so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43 Buttermilk

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,451 ✭✭✭blastman

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk
