American Dad! is an American animated sitcom created by writers and executive producers Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Smiths, a dysfunctional family consisting of parents Stan and Francine; their children Hayley and Steve; and their anthropomorphic pets Klaus and Roger. The show is set in the fictionalized version of the state Virginia. Unlike sister show Family Guy it doesn't exhibit its humor in the form of cutaway gags.
The family was conceived by MacFarlane after developing animated cartoon Family Guy for the Fox network.
Since its debut on February 6, 2005, the show has broadcast 133 episodes and the seventh season starting airing on September 25, 2011.
American Dad! has been nominated for 1 Primetime Emmy Award and 2 Annie Awards, in which the result was nominated. American Dad! has also received criticism, including unfavorable comparisons for its similarities to sister show Family Guy. American Dad! holds a TV-PG and TV-14 rating, with the latter being used more often.
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Well maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Don't want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's going out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
