Just in time for Election Day, FOX has cast its vote of confidence to American Dad for yet another season. The animated series from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has averaged just fewer than 7 million viewers anchoring the network's Animation Domination Sunday but has proved to be a phenomenal hit.
The renewal of American Dad comes on the heels of the cancellation of the network's long-running animated series King of the Hill, following 13 seasons. For the midseason, the network has a pair of animated comedy offerings, including The Cleveland Show and Sit Down, Shut Up.

Network: FOX
Premiere: Sunday, September 28, 8-10pm
Premise: Once again, FOX leaves its Sunday nights alone, using its two-hour animation block to win over younger audiences. Wisely, the network has avoided scheduling any non-animated shows here, as they typically fail (see: The Loop, Unhitched, The Winner, The War at Home).

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.
