I used to watch this one on occasion, but for the most part I would rather see Family Guy, but this one seems to have grown on me a bit. In fact, these days I prefer American Dad to Family Guy as I like Stan more now than Peter, Francine more than Louis and Roger a whole heck of a lot more than Stewie. Sorry, but I do not like how his character is compared to the earlier more dark version. This one follows the exploits of Stan and his family as they go through some crazy stuff in a different way than Family Guy as the stories are more coherent. Family Guy gets to random, to many Star Wars and other special episodes, do not get me wrong I still find it a funny show, it is just now I like American Dad more. This show also has the benefit of having Patrick Stewart doing the voice of Stan's boss. I never enjoyed Star Trek The Next Generation, but I enjoy him in everything else he does including this show. The animation is about the same as Family Guy and there are a few similarities, but for the most part they are two different shows. The show does have a tendency to showcase Roger a bit more than Steve the son and the daughter who I cannot recall her name, but it is not as bad as Stewie's overshadowing of Chris and Meg. So for an animated show that relies a bit more on plot, but still has similar humor to Family Guy this is the show to watch.
