Fox has confirmed multiseason renewals for its popular adult animated shows The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, and American Dad! The longest-running show renewed is The Simpsons, which premiered on Fox in 1989. Family Guy debuted in 1999, and returned to Fox after its initial cancellation in 2005. Bob's Burgers is the newest show, premiering on the network in 2011. American Dad! will return to Fox after 11 years on TBS for its season. 225o2o

After having once had to change homes in the past, Seth MacFarlane's American Dad!is now looking at making another change in networks. Led by MacFarlane as CIA agent Stan Smith and revolving around his family's lives, including free-minded daughter Haley, homemaker Francine, nerdy son Steve, talking goldfish Klaus and flamboyant alien Roger, the show marked MacFarlane's second major project after Family Guy, launching on Fox in 2005. Following nearly a decade on the network, American Dad! would later move to TBS, where it has since run beginning with season 12.

Still going strong 21 seasons after debuting in 2005, the best American Dadepisodes show why it’s such a beloved Seth MacFarlane show - and manage to squash any unfair comparisons to Family Guy. Arriving on Fox almost a decade after Family Guy introduced the world to Seth MacFarlane’s animation style and unique brand of humor, American Dad focuses on CIA agent Stan Smith and his quirky family (which includes a talking fish and Roger, the Alien in the attic).

American Dad!has had an impressive run and hosts highly favorable reviews, however, after a rewatch, I realized that season 1 could probably be skipped. Created by Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane, American Dad! has 20 seasons (or 18 seasons depending on how you organize the episodes), with season 21 expected to air late 2024. The American animated TV show contains adult humor and follows the lives of CIA agent Stan Smith and his dysfunctional family in the town of Langley Falls, Virginia. Its unique take on the format has branded American Dad! as one of the best adult animated shows.

American Dad! was originally conceived as a soft political satire, but it owes its 20-year longevity to the producers’ early decision to abandon that premise and lean into the weirdness. When Family Guy became one of Fox’s biggest hits, Seth MacFarlane had the opportunity to create another show for the network. Since the Bush istration was all over the news, MacFarlane conceived a new animated family sitcom that would replace the aimless non-sequiturs of Family Guy with a more focused satire of politics and current events.

Since it began in 2005, American Dadhas produced 20 seasons packed full of cultural satire and sci-fi misadventure, and the best seasons are full of unforgettable episodes. When it first started, American Dad was faced with the challenge of distinguishing itself from Seth MacFarlane's other wildly popular animated sitcom, Family Guy. The Smith family had a talking goldfish, an alien in the attic, and access to the CIA's fanciful high-tech equipment, but many of their early adventures could have taken place in any number of adult animations. The excellent writing sustained the show for a while, but it wouldn't find its unique voice for a season or two.

American Dad season 18 is in full swing, with the show set to celebrate Halloween with a fun and satirical new episode. The wide-ranging American Dad season 18 has explored the multiverse, gone to Roswell, and more, continuing the show’s tradition of lampooning the most iconic aspects of American pop culture. Having shifted to TBS from its original home of Fox, American Dad is one of the longest-running animated shows of all time, and is just shy of being one of the longest-running titles on American television in general.

Like its older sibling Family Guy, American Dad is one of the longest-running animated television shows. Created by Seth MacFarlane six years after Family Guy premiered in 1999, American Dad has developed its own loyal fan base thanks to its consistently wacky humor and unique cast of characters. American Dad is now a staple of the TBS lineup, where it moved in 2014 after a near decade-long run on FOX.

American Dad! season 18 has been on a roll, and Screen Rant is pleased to present an exclusive clip from the next episode. The animated series first premiered in 2005 on FOX before making the move to TBS in 2014, where it has enjoyed a renaissance that cements it as a cornerstone of American pop culture. The show follows CIA agent Stan Smith (voiced by creator Seth MacFarlane) and his eclectic family: his wife Francine (Wendy Schaal), their daughter Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane) and son Steve (Scott Grimes), Hayley's husband Jeff (Jeff Fischer), their goldfish Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker), and their alien Roger (also voiced by MacFarlane).

On the chance that a live-action adaptation of American Dadever enters development, it's worth wondering who would be chosen to bring its characters to life. As a show currently on its 18th season, American Dad is full of characters that continue to be in the public consciousness. Less crude and irreverent than its sister show Family Guy, American Dad made a name for itself with its unique and stylized characters, which would make casting choices for them difficult to pull off accurately.
