America…
Stan Smith, CIA agent, maintains a high level of Republican propaganda alive within this show. Too bad his entire family lives to besmirch his ideals at every turn possible. The entire family constantly struggles with his way of life from his peace loving hippie daughter, Haley, to his much to do about nothing house wife, Francine, to his adolescent video game loving son Steve. Oh, right, and there’s also a 100 year old alien named Roger that lives with the family, and let’s not forget about Klaus Heissler, a former East German Ski-Jumper who would have won the Olympics if the CIA didn’t put his mind into the body of a goldfish.
All of these chaotic forces keep an interesting momentum going within the show. The show is created by Seth MacFarlane, the same creator of Family Guy and The Cleveland Show. The jokes and content are sometimes a bit more raunchy than what I have seen in the Family Guy series. For example Steve, Roger, Francine, and Haley are all in the kitchen and Steve has had high hopes of winning a hot dog eating contest and says “Thanks for teaching me how to suppress my gag reflex” to which the entire rest of the room uniformly responds “you’re welcome.” Stan has also brought home strippers to reform them and show them how to become self sufficient.
Stan has also had the opportunity to meet Jesus when he comes down after the rapture. Jesus then fights demons and devils with Francine at his side as his girlfriend after she has decided to leave Stan. In another episode a future cyborg version of Stan comes back in time to win Francine back after he had neglected her and eventually lost her.
Haley has managed to have a deadbeat chronic pot boyfriend for the duration of a couple of seasons. However, in the most recent episode that aired, Haley tried to hookup with a koala bear who is also a CIA agent (same brain swapping technology used on Klaus the goldfish). After being politely turned down she tells him that she sleeps with her door open and then proceeds to flash the adorable koala before going upstairs. These constant actions that push the envelope of television appropriateness are what make American Dad a triumphant success. A definite worthwhile experience.
