American Dad - General Discussion

[DoctorAtomic]

President Polk is the perfect president to have stayed in Langley Falls, and Stan being ballistic about is the perfect response. 

I figured Roger selling encyclopedias was going to end poorly. I was surprised it was so banal. 

My house is actually 100 years old. Several are in my neighborhood. It's not an 'old house' because they upgraded a lot in the 60s, and I did some renovations, but it is kind of weird.

Roger is a GOOD mother to Rogu! He only gives Rogu ONE wine cooler a day, feeds him the mac & cheese dust, and takes him on rides when he's clearly sick! What the hell even popped out of Rogu's head?! Liked the reveal that the bubble wrap contained sarin gas that made everyone sick. And like how Roger needs to act like a jerk to keep himself alive, he needs to poison himself to keep Rogu alive since he's a tumor.

lol Francine's voice got deeper when kicked in the crotch.

Was not expecting that random gaggle of characters in the diner, like Tommy Tokes, Grunklebean, and the guy who looks like Roger.

[Spartan Girl]

LOL of course Klaus ready to celebrate with a “Ding Dong, Rogu’s Dead” banner. And promptly gets bitch-slapped at the end.

[DoctorAtomic]

LaGunitas is a good IPA.

That was a good episode that was all A plot. 

[Galileo908]

Always appreciate a good Steve/Lewis adventure, and now Klaus is in the mix. And it had songs?! Shoulda known Hideki and his gut would ruin it for them.

I like that Francine knew how dumb the b-plot was gonna get and nope'd out immediately. Loved seeing Rogu on the harpsichord.

Fat Billy was just horrifying to see.

[Spartan Girl]

Steve, Lewis, and Klaus was an unlikely summer trio that worked beautifully. I didn’t have Lewis and Klaus doing a rap duo on my bingo card, but this show never disappoints. And the three of them all pissing off the bridge was hilarious.

Huck the faters indeed.

Steve is nuts. I got my front porch fenced in, like 4' high and the rest open, so I could put out a table a chairs and a dog bed and watch the neighborhood. People 'drop by'. I even installed a ceiling fan. It's my parents' favorite activity when they visit. I even eat out there. The slats in the fence are just wide enough for cat watching. 

Also, Lewis is right about summer. I'm not under contract. "We need to have a meeting." Who's we? I'm still working just as much, but it's what I want, when I want. 

I didn't know you could flip the bird on cable! 

I liked how Jeff was sitting on the floor, and Hayley had her legs on his shoulders sitting on the chair. It's just a nice slice of life.

And it took Lewis longer to get going. 

[Galileo908]

Stan letting an ancient AI escape the CIA to almost destroy the world a la War Games (which was referenced in the episode!) because he didn't want to admit he was too stupid to help Steve with his math homework is certainly a new low for him, isn't it? But hey, Steve's cringey memes saved the day! And lazy programmers from fifty years ago.

I laughed pretty hard at the deja vu b-plot.

So...that's the last one. For now. The Russian that saved her phone with Guardian still installed is gonna come back to bite this show, isn't it?

That was supposed to be President Kamala Harris, right? Seth obviously wrote this episode before…I can’t lie, that hurt.

Other than that, I liked the whole WarGames homage and Steve saving the day with memes.

So no more episodes for a while? Aww.

Apparently NEXT week is the last one. THIS one was written as the finale.

Ah. Ok.

[Spartan Girl]

Noooooo!

 

[Girl in a Cardigan]

So it’s not canceled but they don’t have anywhere to show it? Can they move to Adult Swim permanently? Agggghhhh!

There’s talk that they’re going back to Fox.

[DoctorAtomic]

I loved the cold war computer! And at Sub Hub. I'm surprised that Hayley makes out with the other girl. 

I was not surprised and very pleased this went the way of War Games. The show then nicely doubled down by having the control room being the same and literally saying it. 

 

[Galileo908]

Kinda wish this show was ballsy enough to keep up the Silent aesthetic for the whole episode. BUT Stan's mechanical roach being what makes him finally speak actually took me by surprise. And then he invents color?! Of course Stan wanted to keep the technology to colorize everything out of spite and arrogance. I had lots of Pleasantville vibes from this. The show decided to get weird for the last one, and I for one welcomed it.

Couldn't help but notice the prism looked like the Golden Turd.

Not surprised that even in this AU, Roger straight up steals Stan's inventions.

[Spartan Girl]

I really thought it was going to be silent for the whole episode. This show never fails to be creative.

So this will be the last episode on TBS. To be honest, I’m afraid Fox is going to neuter it when it starts again on that network. *sigh* 

[DoctorAtomic]

I can't believe they're doing silent movie. The music is very olde timey. The animation was great too. Roger stole the hat rack idea. 

Live Nude Inventors.

Franny singing was *awful*. 

That was clever. Not as out there as their usual departures. 

When is it starting up on Fox?
