American Dad

**lightdarkness** · 02-6-2005, 08:26 PM

Ok, so I figured I'd start a new thread since this one will only talk about American Dad.

I've seen a lot of the pilot episode, so I know what to expect

I'm sure you will all enjoy it! So tune into Fox at around 11:10 to be safe

Post your comments when it's over!

**Omegix** · 02-6-2005, 09:10 PM

Don't really like the show. It seems like they try to hard to be funny, and it is too much like family guy.

02-6-2005, 09:26 PM

This show isn't that funny.

Impulsive Overreactive Dad is going to get old fast. The alien and fish are annoying.

**Freak83** · 02-6-2005, 09:26 PM

Wow... I saw this right now at 11:45, just as it was over. What great timing I have.

**Kilgamayan** · 02-6-2005, 09:27 PM

I thought it was funny.

**Chromer** · 02-6-2005, 09:31 PM

Meh. Why make American Dad, a show that seriously tries hard to be funny, when Family Guy can be funny without trying? AD gets a thumbs down at this point of the game. It has potential, but none was showing tonight. It reminded me of the Super Bowl actually....

02-6-2005, 09:34 PM

At least it was funnier than the dismal, depressing, laughless episode of The Simpsons.

Dear Simpsons writers QUIT COMING UP WITH IMPLAUSIBLE SCENARIOS THEY'RE NOT FUNNY

**Snapps** · 02-6-2005, 09:53 PM

Its only 9:13

I have two more hours to go :/

Spheroid · 02-6-2005, 10:01 PM

It was funny half the time, the other half was just stupid

**Rebirth0** · 02-6-2005, 10:27 PM

I thought it was ok. Not that bad, a little funny. 7.5/8 out of 10 for me. Family Guy still gets a 10/10 AD is something that I'd probably watch normally though.

Okay what the hell you must just not have a sense of humor. I was laughing constantly at The Simpsons.

jewpinthethird · 02-6-2005, 11:43 PM

I saw the end of American Dad...it was meh.

**lightdarkness** · 02-7-2005, 05:17 AM

I'll admit American Dad had it's bad moments, however I thought overall it was a good show.

Even though I've seen practically all of that episode before, I still laughed a lot.

My favorite part, where I laughed for a good few minutes (and into the commercial), is when Mr. Smith comes downstairs after hearing a jar break and says "Osama, is that you!?!?!?". I thought that was pure hillarity.

@Kilga: The Simpsons episode sucked overall. I was expecting a better episode for what they promoted. The Mario reference was just degrading.

**Kilgamayan** · 02-7-2005, 05:23 AM

Funny, everyone else I know loved the Mario thing.

jazzmosis · 02-7-2005, 08:13 AM

The Mario reference was hilarious - almost saved that whole episode.

As for American Dad, although some of the humour was forced, it was still funny. Especially when god refers to Cheney as 'sir'.

blahblah18 · 02-7-2005, 08:45 AM

Wow ...
American Dad blew so hard, although I can't really say I expected otherwise.
Just get over it, wait til May 1 to watch family guy and to NOT watch this piece of crap

banditcom · 02-7-2005, 09:42 AM

It's the PREMIERE episode. The point of the episode is to introduce the characters as much as they can, show the type of humor it is (similar to Family Guy, obviously), and to throw some small plot in.

It will get better. Family Guy's first episode wasn't the greatest. There's a lot that has to be done in a premiere episode. I think American Dad did it's job. Plus it's by FAR the earliest episode. It was a very early writing that even after many revisals, it still shows its age.

I think all of you would be missing out if you tossed aside a series because the first episode wasn't the best. If that was the case for me, I would be missing out on both The OC and Smallville. I now know that I'd be missing a hell of a lot if I would have dismissed them because of their first episode or two... Thank god I didn't.

Banditcom wins the "LD awesomeness award" for defending American Dad.

**Tasselfoot** · 02-7-2005, 11:10 AM

Everyone is only talking about this 1 episode. I'll tune in a few more weeks (read: Download) and see if it gets better, but g'damn that sucked. I saw the commericals and was like, "Yup. Family Guy clone. Why?" And, I'll stick to that. As others said, the show is almost a complete symmatry to Family Guy with much much much more effort put into it to achieve less of a result.

As for bandit, I hope the show does get better. 2 Family Guys > 1 Family Guy

GuidoHunter · 02-7-2005, 11:19 AM

I laughed a lot at American Dad and can't wait to see more. Sure, the preview wasn't spectacular, but I agree that it will be much better. I'm just extremely glad that they made Steve a whole lot less nerdy.
