Are fans of this automatically fans of American Dad?


Very similar sense of humour and story structures.

I'm a fan of Family Guy but I don't watch American Dad.

reply

I'm a big Family Guy fan but never got into American Dad. I'd probably like it enough but I feel like Family Guy is enough.

reply

No. I've been watching Family Guy since it first aired when I was a kid & it's still a guilty pleasure but I never liked American Dad. I gave it a few attempts over the years but always found it to be unwatchable. I was never much into The Cleveland show but I still find it easier to watch. I particularly could never stand the Alien character especially with the annoying voice Macfarlene used which I personally found to be Jar Jar Binks levels of irritating.

reply

Yeah the alien is a really weird suspension of belief for a tv show. Then again, so is a talking baby with English accent.

reply

No I have never watched it the only other one I like is the Simpsons

reply

Not me... I like Family Guy quite a lot but don't like American Dad at all.

reply

Family Guy fan. Not a fan of American Dad. Just never got it.

reply

American Dad is something I grit my teeth and bear when waiting for Family Guy to come on. Nah, I mean there are a few decent episodes but I find most of the characters way too OTT and annoying... especially Roger (is he supposed to be funny?) I find the humour mostly stupid rather than Family Guy which is a lot more clever, and the characters in Family Guy have more meaning, rather than just being clowns. Favourite character is probably Hayley as she's pretty normal, I could see her as a character in Family Guy.

Are you Australian?

reply

No... English, why?

reply

Because they run back to back in Australia and you use British English (humour with a U). So you might just have been an Aussie :)

reply

Ah okay, nah they run back to back here in the UK on ITV2, and on FOX too! :)

reply

I have watched American Dad, but not as consistently as Family Guy. I find that I don't find the entire show funny all the time. Characters I could do without are Roger and the fish named Klaus.

reply

I think I'm the only one who likes American Dad better.

reply

My wife and I are the same. I'm a sucker for Steve and she loves Roger.

reply

I've always thought American Dad is a better show.

reply

agreed it seems 10X more clever and Roger is truly a gem

reply

nah me. I find it less lazy that the family guy flashes to other scenarios. and I think Roger is hilarious.
