This coming Sunday, fans can expect another round of hilarity as FOX brings forth another segment of its satirized animated comedy, American Dad. Bringing more bawdy humor are Stanley “Stan” Smith, the head of the Smith household who works for the CIA, his devoted and stereotypical trophy housewife, Francine, their ultra-liberal daughter, Haylie, their clever but social outcast son, Steve, the sadistic and perverted family pet goldfish, Klaus, and sarcastic and flamboyantly effeminate space alien, Roger, in the episode entitled “Dope & Faith,” which airs on October 14.
Read on for a sneak peek on the upcoming episode of American Dad.

I'm a Family Guy fan. Ever since that very first episode FOX aired after the Super Bowl a few years back and the Kool-Aid guy jumped through the wall of the Quahog court house, I was hooked. The show has its detractors, and gripes that Guy is non-plot centric and that the jokes are uniformly random are valid, but a comedy's supposed to make you laugh, and more often than not that's what Family Guy does. When American Dad came on to the scene, it just felt like a lesser Family Guy, a vehicle for all of the parent show's rejected jokes, Family Guy's B-sides, the minor leagues. I never got into it. Family Guy was enough. However, when we got the chance last week to be present for a special American Dad table read at the FOX Fall press junket in LA, featuring the entire cast in person, I jumped at the chance. How could I not?

The third season of FOX's American Dad begins airing tonight with an episode entitled "Vacation Goo." When Francine finds out that all of their family vacations are just fake memories Stan created by sticking them in goo, she demands a real vacation, preferably a cruise.
However, when the vacation seems too good to be true, Francine grows convinced that the CIA is behind everything and causes the entire family to suffer the consequences. Meanwhile, Roger tries his best to become the greatest actor who has ever lived.

Agent Stan Smith and his obscure family return for another season. Earlier this month, FOX has renewed the satirical animated series American Dad, extending the order through to the 2008-2009 season and bringing the show’s overall episode count to 84.
In line with the extended order of American Dad, executive producers Rick Wiener and Kenny Schwartz have also inked a two-year overall deal with the show’s producer, 20th Century Fox TV Studio. The contract, which has an option for a third year, is reportedly under a seven-figure agreement. Consequently, Wiener and Schwartz will continue working on American Dad as producers, alongside fellow co-creators Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker, and Matt Weitzman.

Finally.
After a month of holidays, egg nog, and more Snoopy and Ralphie Parker than one knows what to do with, we're finally back to normal. January is upon us, 2007 has begun its tyrannical, 300-plus day reign, and our favorite TV shows will no longer bludgeon us with repeats. Tomorrow, January 3rd, brings the return of a couple of our favorites, as well as two brand new shows.
After that, the flood begins, and over the next month virtually every original program will air new episodes. A full list of the returning dates for most every show on television is after the jump.

American Dad
The animated American Dad isn't an official spin-off of Family Guy, but it might as well be. Created in the aftermath of the 2004 presidential election, American Dad makes it living satirizing the uber-patriotic. This is another case of a show just not being funny. There really isn't much else to say. I'm a Family Guy addict, but American Dad doesn't do it for me and I'm surprised it's still on the air.
