Hilarious show, just as good as Family Guy
Peaked in it's fourth season, but still really funny. If you get offended at stuff you shouldn't watch it, but I'd say it's good for most teens. Some episodes maybe not so much though. Expect sex, violence and drug use to pop up frequently, and don't look for good messages or role models.

What are you talking about? Much cleverer than Family Guy!
I actually find this show funnier than Family Guy. Initially it was a bit derivative, but I actually think it's found its own voice, and that voice is much less grating than MacFarlane's other shows. Unlike Family Guy, this show is not dependent on cut-away gags and shock-jock antics. Most of its humour comes from non-sequiturs and exaggerated meta jokes about the malleability of the characters and situations. This makes it considerably smarter than Family Guy, even if it can be just as crude.

not as good as family guy
American dad! is not as funny or as raunchy as family guy. If your kids are over 12 and they want to watch this show, It's ok to let them.

Only watched about 5 episodes.
I watched this when It first started because it looked a lot like family guy. Its not as good as family guy and its a lot more mature. Everything is sexual, Almost every sentence and its not really funny. I find some of it stupid and over the top. Why bother? The violence is only punching and stuff. Its not funny either. The language is more mature than family guy too. I just don't like it.

Animation NOT for kids
The horse skit (look it up, I'm not even going to say it), makes this inappropriate for pretty much all children.

Adult Entertainment
American Dad is for Adults, which is why it is on weekly at night and not in the early morning cartoon lineup. As with other prime-time cartoons with a political theme, it is a liberal director attempt to make conservative values look bad or stupid.. If you ignore the blatent attempt by the director, it is entertaining. Not for Kids, but for Adults with a sense of humor.

Only funny if you like family Guy
Sexual and political humor are abundant. While it has it's moments, this underdeveloped show does not hold a candle to Family Guy, and that is it's problem. If it could just distance itself and form it's own following, it would be funny!
