Which means something might go down somewhere in some way at some point in time... So look sharp!\" - Stan Smith This week, we're switching gears and looking back at the first episode of American Dad, which only just returned to Fox after over a decade of basic cable existence. Though the series was at first seen as a cheap copy of Family Guy born out of the misery of the George W. Bush administration, American Dad didn't take long to carve out its own weird, wonderful identity and quietly thrive over the last two decades. So join us as we explore the roots of an entirely different prime-time cartoon that refuses to die.
