    Did anyone think that show was funny?

      It was like they went, "How can we make Family Guy, without it being Family Guy. Let's make the character's into their opposites, but instead of a talking dog, we'll have an alien with the voice of Paul Lynde, and a gold fish who lusts after the mother instead of a baby trying to kill the mother."

        Exactly. Thing is, there was some grounding in reality with Family Guy. I mean cmon, a talking fish who had his mind swapped when he was about to win the gold for the East German olympic team. What the hell.

          No there wasn't.

            American Dad - CIA husband, no-personality wife, 2 children, an alien who ****s goo every 7 hours, a talking ex-east german skiier goldfish.

              I kind of chuckled maybe once. I doubt if I will watch it again.

                That's one more time than I did.

                  I think there were about 4 good jokes about of about 1000 attempts. Part of the problem is that almost every line was supposed to be a joke.

                      I felt is was a decent show. I laughed at about half of the scenes that were supposed to be funny. Still wasn't as good as I hoped it would be.

                      nice commentary about the state of america and terrorism after 9/11 though.

                        No, that not quite true. Timing is an important part of Humor. The best jokes are set up from normal situations. Like the beginning of a Sienfeld episode, setting the stage for later jokes. By the end of the show, yes almost every line is a joke, but a lot of setup has gone into it. This show had 0 setup so most of the jokes had no chance.

                          Social commentary from a cartoon is lamo.

                            Some of the best social commentary is made better by cartoons. Look at the Simpsons. It's much easier to point out the absurdity of a policiy, politician, etc., with a cartoon. It's just that its very easy to do it wrong.

                              For shows like this, it's always best to wait until the 4th or 5th episode to see what the final product will be like.

                              After watching it, I give it 2.5 seasons before it dies.

                              I also think that the Family Guy revival will be disappointing. give that about 2 or 3 seasons before that's canned.
                              If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.
