american-dadAmerican Dad has receieved a sixth season from the FOX Network.

The show, which continues to resonate with men 18-49 and adults 18-34 in the US, is now assured of staying on air through to at least the 2010-11 season.

That’s good news for Seven which has both American Dad and Family Guy from Seth MacFarlane.

    Great news, it’s one of the best comedies on at the moment (certainly the best animated). Roger and Stan are two of the all time funniest characters, and seven should have season five completed no later than mid 2014!

    I find AG to be a lot funnier than FG. I have heaps of episodes on tape that are worth watching again and again. Most of the AD episodes that Seven is running at the moment are re-runs, but I haven’t seen some of them.

    “better than family guy” + 1. Family guy has just become so unfunny, often dedicating a number of minutes to time-consuming scenes like songs etc.

    Go american dad !

    What everyone else said :)

    Fantastic! To echo everyone elses sentiments it is often funnier than Family Guy and always has a narrative which Family Guy often lacks.

    If only Ten had Family Guy and American Dad rights I reckon we would see it a lot more, and a lot earlier than we do on 7.

    Thats good becaue I think it has better writing and voice acting than Family guy.

    Wonder when they’ll do it widescreen or HD?

    Freakin’ sweet… oh wait, wrong show :)

    Have to say AD is consistently funny these days whereas Family Guy is very miss miss hit miss…

    Definitely prefer it to (post-Season 3) Family Guy.

    Can’t say the same about the Cleveland Show, however.

    I love this show and family guy and provides a good laugh whenever I come from working late evenings.

    The good news is the latest season that will be on seven in the future is in high definition and in widescreen

    about time !

    This show used to be good, but the later seasons really aren’t that funny, almost as boring as ‘new simpsons’ eps

    I’m not a regular watcher but it is a funny show; I like it more than Family Guy; I only own Volume 1 and have only watched a few other random eps here and there. I should get into it a bit more.

    Awesome. I’ve always preferred American Dad! to Family Guy, mainly because political humour always gives me a giggle, and Family Guy has gotten a little weird. But full steam ahead for AD!
