American Dad strikes me as liberals pretending to be conservatives, and not really pretending that hard.

So I really don't have a lot invested in it.

American Dad is one of the most stultifyingly dull shows on television. Stan Smith is possibly the lamest character on TV, and Seth MacFarlane's view of conservatives as paranoid idiots is insulting and crass. You can rest assured, though, that Fox will keep this crap on because they think it'll grow into a cult hit like Futurama or Family Guy, but it likely won't, because it is poorly written and, frankly, dull. Mainstream success won't come, like it did for The Simpsons for the same reasons.

Basically, American Dad is a product for which there is no market.....an answer to a question nobody asked.....a waste of air time.

Usually, on these threads that are of this nature, i.e., absolutely idiotic, I just stay away from them, rather than posting something such as "who cares", or whats an "American Dad", you know the usual...and so no one comes in and makes a smartass remark about posting on a thread on which one cares nothing about...

But...

Fer cryin' out loud, IT'S A DAMN CARTOON!

The characters, unlike a real TV show, are incapable of independent thought.

Their views and outlook on life is only that which the scriptwriter and animator places in them.

This is even more absurdly insane than the hero-worship some show the dizzy, so-called celebrities such as Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon and that commie POS Asner, or whatever the hell his name is.

Even acknowledging that one is so totally bored with life that one must seek the outlet that an actor or actress or some silly-ass screaming, obscenity spouting so-called comedian provides is lame enough, now we got idiots actually attempting to analyze the thought processes and intent of CARTOON CHARACTERS.

Words fail me.

"When Stan references the pleasures of porn twice in one episode a week after they spent an episode singing the evils of it, that feels a little off too."

Continuity errors in Seth MacFarlane show? What a shock! </sarcasm>

I have to wonder who watches these cartoons made for grownups. Fritz the Cat (the first, I believe) stunk, and I can't believe anybody besides Beavis and Butthead types watch the current listing. but then I don't understand why anyone would watch all these asinine "reality" shows either.
Shrek and The Incredibles, on the other hand, weren't specifically made for adults, and they're hilarious for children and adults both!

Never heard of it, nor do I care.
