    American Dad is so underrated. Seth McFarlane is very funny, but you can tell that Fox saw Family Guy taking off and basically took it away from him, and he knew there was no sense in fighting it. But he started American Dad, and that’s where you can really see his comedy come through.

    So many great episodes. In Country… Club is probably my all-time-favorite. So many others though, Irregarding Steve, The Abusive Terrestrial, The Vacation Goo, Spring Breakup, and Shallow Vows. And really anything with Roger

      ‘In Country… Club’ is the example episode I use to get people to try the show. It is so good and commits to hard to the premise.

      I thought McFarlane had very little to do worth American dad, other than the voice, after the first few seasons?

      Regardless it’s amazing. It turned from a critique of Republicans to some surrealist nonsense, it’s great.
