Dad
Originally, the character of Klaus was going to be a native of France named François. When Dee Bradley Baker auditioned, he told the producers that his French accent wasn't very good, and that he would read the lines in a German accent instead. Producers liked Baker's performance so much, they decided to make Klaus German.,Early episodes had Roger gradually learn to use disguises to go out into the world; but in later seasons we see that he had actually been using disguises for decades before he met the Smiths.,Roger the Alien: [after a hallucinogenic meal] I just don't have the words for it. Schmooblydong. Is that a word?,The Credits end with a Security Guard from Fuzzy Door Productions waving and saying "Bye, have a beautiful time!",Up until the '08-'09 season, the opening credits featured a shot of Stan looking at a newspaper headline, which would be a joke headline relating to recent events. Episodes shown on Adult Swim have the headlines blanked out, leaving Stan looking at just white space. The credit sequence for new episodes for '08 - '09 eliminate this sequence altogether.,Featured in Family Guy: Excellence in Broadcasting (2010),Good Morning U.S.A.

[Main Title Theme],I used to watch this one on occasion, but for the most part I would rather see Family Guy, but this one seems to have grown on me a bit. In fact, these days I prefer American Dad to Family Guy as I like Stan more now than Peter, Francine more than Louis and Roger a whole heck of a lot more than Stewie. Sorry, but I do not like how his character is compared to the earlier more dark version. This one follows the exploits of Stan and his family as they go through some crazy stuff in a different way than Family Guy as the stories are more coherent. Family Guy gets to random, to many Star Wars and other special episodes, do not get me wrong I still find it a funny show, it is just now I like American Dad more. This show also has the benefit of having Patrick Stewart doing the voice of Stan's boss. I never enjoyed Star Trek The Next Generation, but I enjoy him in everything else he does including this show. The animation is about the same as Family Guy and there are a few similarities, but for the most part they are two different shows. The show does have a tendency to showcase Roger a bit more than Steve the son and the daughter who I cannot recall her name, but it is not as bad as Stewie's overshadowing of Chris and Meg. So for an animated show that relies a bit more on plot, but still has similar humor to Family Guy this is the show to watch.,
