While other animated series have characters that you hate seeing an episode based around (*cough* Lisa Simpson *cough* Meg Griffin), American Dad! is able to provide well fleshed out characters every time you come across an annoying recurring character, they provide additional information that justifies and develops the character.
Unlike it's parent show, Family Guy, which relies on cut-away gags and punchline comedy, American Dad! relies on the dysfunctional family, and creative story telling. American Dad! Season 12 is consistently solid, and while no episodes truly create outbursts of "laugh-out-loud" moments, it is enjoyable and I found myself marathoning the entire season in a day. While this makes for a slightly less relatable show, it does make for an entertaining show. There comes a time when you have covered every possible feasible scenario that this eccentric upper middle class American family could go through, and as a result, you find the premises of each episode become more and more over-the-top as the seasons add up. This is due to being a parody show that openly mocks everything that is popular what happens when you become the popular thing? American Dad! has a similar crux. The Simpsons have been going for 29 years now, though it was been argued that the quality peaked at season 9 or 10. Longevity in an animated series is not always a good thing. Unlike the wildly popular Futurama series that was still cancelled three times in it's seven season run, American Dad! has managed to make it 11 seasons before being dropped by Fox, but even then was picked up straight away by TBS for further seasons. With an animated family that mirrors the stereotypical American school the jock dad, the cheerleader mum, the nerdy son, the hippie daughter, and to "ensure" some laughs a talking fish and an alien so you could always have unrealistic plots if needed.
