Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Steve's original design was much geekier and gawky and he was voiced by Ricky Blitt. Halfway through production, his voice actor changed to Scott Grimes and his design was made to be more attractive, so he would be less comparable to Neil Goldman from "Family Guy" (1999). This design is a caricature of one of the series creators, Mike Barker. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In one episode Toshi marries the Russian mail order bride. Yet he claimed in an earlier episode he had an arranged marriage waiting for him in his homeland. more
Quotes:
Stanley Smith: Francine, why did you pull a gun on me if you didn't want to have sex? more
Movie Connections:

Smarter comedy than Family Guy, 31 August 2007
10/10
Author: Claudia McCarey from Australia

This is the most hilariously incredible show in tranditional animation! Stan is the man!Roger the alien can be a bother but a hoot! Klaus the goldfish is a classic German stereotyped character in modern comedy! And the teenage kids are really appealing and funny!Stan's wife Francine is hot and sexy!

The stories in the episodes can start out a bit ho-hum,but throughout the episode,it gets funnier.This is why I will never compare this wonderful politic-like show to the repulsive,stupid and annoyingly unfunny new Family Guy because Family Guy started to lack good adult humour and plot by mid season 3 and got worse by season 4(I can tell that the future seasons shouldn't be released on DVD).

Good on you,Seth Macfarlane!This show is balanced with flashy but awesome humor,reasonable plot and story(some can be ridiculous,but who cares)and characters with satire and likable personalities.

There should be a movie of American Dad as well!
