While many in the US are still struggling to hold onto their jobs, a certain American Dad has just been told he’ll have his for another year.
Created by Seth MacFarlane, American Dad follows an ultra-patriotic CIA agent (MacFarlane) and his less-than-typical family. The show also stars the voices of Wendy Schaal, Scott Grimes, Rachael MacFarlane, Dee Bradley Baker, and Mike Barker.
While the show is still early in its run of fifth season episodes, FOX has ordered a sixth round.
The new season order doesn’t come as a surprise of course. American Dad is a staple of the network’s Sunday night “animation domination” block and consistently rates as one of FOX’s highest rated shows in the key demographics, particularly males.
Season six of American Dad is expected to kick off during the 2010-11 season.
What do you think? Are you glad that the show is sticking around or is it over-rated?

It is a very funny show. My favorite character is Roger and Stan, and the hottest is Haley and Francine.
American dad needs to go. Its not fair that Mediocre Seth Macfarlane has 3 shows and Genius Matt Groening only has one. The whole Quahog world and Cleveland Show is so likable, but American Dad has never been very likable in my opinion. I always felt like it was the worst cartoon on that time slot. I think they should cancel American Dad, and put Cleveland in its spot. Then bring back Futurama and put that in the Cleveland Time slot.
Anybody?
its a great show!! at first it was lame, but i have grown to love it, its super funny!! Fox is the best place on sunday nites!
Rhino, you Crazy. American Dad is the Greatest Cartoon on at the moment. I agree with what your saying about Matt G though
I prefer this show to ‘ The Cleverland Show ‘ not really getting into it. Theres been a few funny bits in it but its not that good. Glad to see the return of Stan The Man
