There's your problem, you stopped after two seasons when season 3 is when things really kick into gear and the shows originality really comes forward.

"Roger is boring shock humor" aka I've never watched American Dad except for an episode or two. He's gotten more over the top and sociopathic over the years but in seasons 1-4/5 he was in no way just doing shocking things, in fact he hardly did shocking things at all. Unexpectedly hilarious things would come out of…

What American Dad has managed to do in a typical family sitcom framework is nothing short of remarkable. It developed its characters to be like none other on TV and told some of the most entertaining, creative, and well-structured stories I've ever seen.

I wish I could, but the truth is back when no one was watching AD was consistently the funniest, most creative show on TV. Maybe right now it's not, or wouldn't be if it was still on FOX, but it was for some time. Just watch the sublime perfection of "The One That Got Away", or say, "Frannie 911" and tell me any…

In terms of humor its absolutely AD. Pathos? Apart from maybe a half dozen eps, not so much. But the way AD explored the inter-family dynamics for years in different ways with remarkably tight, original/creative stories was something not accomplished by many other shows. It also has the most compelling act breaks of…

Yeah but even if were to accept that as true, its a show in its 10th season nearing 200 episodes. Do you honestly expect it to be as fresh as shows still so early in their runs (Bobs first two seasons are still not a full season, despite it being in season 5, I believe?). I mean I still don't think Bobs has half the…

Also the last three FOX episodes were great I thought. "A Boy Named Michael" was probably top 3 of the season for me. Fantastic dynamics between Stan, Roger, Greg and Terry, an interesting character driven plot, some nice little twists, and endless quotable lines. Up there with "Daddy Queerest" imo as a brilliant…

Well hello SomeRandomGuyOnTheInternet! Long time no see, at least not until ADs season finale last spring. I know like myself you were one of the regulars on the old AD recaps, and like me had a (much deserving) endless enthusiasm for this wonderful show. I like many other posters here (side note: I love how AD has…

You can find "American Dad" streaming on Netflix too, and surprise surprise, you'll have a show even better than Bobs Burgers! In fact, by quite a large degree! Gasp!

I enjoyed the episode quite a bit, but when I think about it…I don't know, but doesn't whole scenario feel a bit implausible? Would they really do things like that, just change a sentence on a dime based on the value of the information the inmate gives them during trial? Isn't that stuff that would have to be worked…

Hey, I'm not gonna lie, the grades definitely stand out and in that sense they do matter. I've never seen this show, and I don't even know much about it besides clones and how great the lead actress is supposed to be at playing all of them. And while I obviously don't normally read the reviews, I'm used to seeing A's…

Easily DiCaprio's best performance, if you ask me. That and The Basketball Diaries are two of his best roles, both ironically before he got older and in the process, ultra-famous, and now it seems like he just plays variations on himself in almost every role (give or take maybe one or two standouts). He's still decent…

For at a lot of us, season 5 was just as big a disaster as 4, relatively speaking. That is, for a Dan Harmon run season it was still just a shell of its former self. Examples: it lacked good plots, relied on gimmicks and past glories, had a more random approach to its humor, and even further flanderized the…

Download Hola so you have access to Netflix Canada. Happy Endings is available to watch there.

I dunno, it feels like a slightly odd character choice from a logical perspective to have her so cruel and mean after seeing each other for the first time in so long. Yeah you could argue he was seeing it through rosy glosses before, but weren't we seeing the more cool, likable Pamela too? I mean, she was endearing to…

She was awful in this episode for sure, a bit beyond what we've seen from her before. Or maybe she wasn't, I don't remember exactly every exchange they had, and she could be cold at times. But all I know is this FELT slightly different, and that's what registered.

I honestly don't even consider this a comedy show anymore. It's still funny and I get a few decent chuckles and one or two big laughs per episode but I find I'm not even watching for the laughs at this point. I mean I hate to say it but if I were to rate this show against some actual great joke-based comedies it would…

I dunno about more unique…those bizarre season 1 and 2 plots that got really surreal and out-there were truly like nothing else on TV. This isn't either but it feels a little more comfortable in a way, like a little Louie C.K independent movie or something with a more standard approach, featuring a bit more…

And obviously his upsetting encounter with Pamela caused him to really push for trying to make something out of this new budding relationship with Amia, and when he found out she was going back to Hungary I think he had a bit of a panic moment, hence the down on one knee pleading her to stay. He's kind of built it up…

Seriously, I'm just mad I had to scroll through all of that shit to read comments about the actual show again.
