Series Description

American Dad is a 30 minute animated comedy series on the FOX Network about a man who works for the CIA and will do whatever is necessary to protect the United States from all terrorist threats but also goofs up regularly.

American Dad Trivia

One of the inspirations American Dad was "All in the Family", the series that led the way in political incorrectness. In a move that most would never expect from an animated series, FOX issued a viewer warning message before broadcasting the second episode, "Threat Levels" because some of the characters appeared nude!

Just as you would expect in real life, the headline of the newspaper that Stan is reading during the opening credits is different for each episode.

Roger the alien's voice is modelled after that of Paul Lynde who you have undoubtedly seen if you've watched more than an episode or two of the 1964-1972 series, "Bewitched". He played the role of lovable and mischievous "Uncle Arthur" on the show and his unique voice simply added to the appeal of his character.
