TV show description:
Stan Smith (Seth MacFarlane) is a die-hard Republican and a card-carrying member of the NRA member. A CIA agent, he lives with his unique family in Langley Falls, VA.
Francine (Wendy Schaal) is Stan’s not-so-bright wife who is so loyal to her arrogant husband that she turns a blind eye to his faults. Stan constantly butts heads with his liberal 18-year-old daughter, Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane), who knows just how to push her father’s buttons. Stan’s 14-year-old brother is Steve (Scott Grimes), a geeky yet cocky a kid who can’t quite make it through puberty and find success with girls.
Also living with them are two less-conventional members of the family. Living in the attic is Roger (Seth MacFarlane), a selfish and sarcastic space alien who lives like it’s always happy hour. He came to live with the Smiths after saving Stan’s life in Area 51.
Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker) is an attention-starved goldfish with the brain of an East German Olympic ski-jumper. His brain was switched by the CIA during the 1986 Olympics to prevent him from winning the gold medal. Klaus is always willing to vocalize his opinions whether or not anyone is listening.

‘American Dad’ is a funny show that children under certain ages shouldn’t watch for sure…but it is not a children’s cartoon show. Sick humor? Yes it has a lot of that and many of us know it is silly, but enjoy it anyway. Sometimes the gore they use in the show is gross yes, but it is a cartoon. Sadly…the show promotes atheism and makes fun of Creator, which is what I hate the most. However…people have free will on this planet, so please do not cancel this show. It is crazy funny. ~ Peace, Marc
this mess sucks! please cancel this trash, TBS! I hate this **** and it must go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It needs canceled!! We don’t want our kids watching this on tv!!
Then don’t let your Children watch it. Take some parental responsibility!!!
Its a really funny show KEEP IT ON LONGER!
Then don’t let them watch it. I’m a father and I simply do not let my son watch it or other shows I deem not appropriate.
Guarantee I have more children than you, and I could care less if they watch it… actually, they watch it every night on Cartoon Network. This show is hilarious.
Inappropriate =/= Bad. This show is great.
