American Dad!

[countfrylock]

What a disappointing episode...they honestly thought they weren't getting renewed so they came up with the worst idea for a series finale....

[Icarus27k]

Is that the hot tub episode?

[countfrylock]

yes it is

[Icarus27k]

I bet I know what you're specifically referring to. The ending of the episode. I'm guessing it was intended to make people go, "What the f*cking hell? I hate that."

Beyond that, I thought it was a standard American Dad! episode.

[countfrylock]

actually from what i've heard the writers originally thought that they weren't gonna be renewed for another season so they decided to kill off stan francine principal lewis and probably everyone else(if people coming to investigate the house)but when they did get renewed they used this as the season premiere

[Icarus27k]

You are right.

I stand corrected.

[countfrylock]

which seems strange if you ask me...as this would make a terrible series finale

[Icarus27k]

Listening to Mike Barker talk, I got the impression it was intended to be spiteful. Kind of, "If they are canceling my show, I'm going to make people just as angry as I am".

P.S. American Dad! is my favorite Seth MacFarlane cartoon.

[countfrylock]

there was no way American dad was getting canned...all seth mcfarlane shows are safe from the network's wrath

Ceelo as a sadistic man-eating hot tub.......Iwas thoroughly entertained......The ending was WTF, but requires no explanation.....Remember that apocalyptic FamGuy.......It was an isolated episode devoid of canon......I'm OK with this.

[countfrylock]

the difference being that episode was just someone's dream this was a big screw you! to the fans and to fox....it's like if the joker was killing tons of people but before batman could do anything to stop him he dies and it ends right there....doesn't sound like a good ending now does it?

[HolyLoliSoul]

I don't think it was ever intended as a series finale. And as for the comparison to Family Guy's "Da Boom", while that was a dream, this AD episode was a story told by Cee-Lo. For all we know, he just made up a story about an evil hot tub that kills the main character.

What is so much worse about this episode of American Dad than the middle finger Seth Mcfarlane give everyone when Stweie finally killed Lois and we all found out he was in a Hubert Farnsworth patented "What if?" machine and the episode just cut off Soprano's style?

Same concept, all it proves to me is Mcfarlane could put his name on a fresh cow pie, film it for 30 minutes and people would be begging to eat the pie by the end of the episode.

Me too.  The first four seasons of Family Guy were great, but I'd still take American Dad over those.

Not that every episode is good, and the whole first season wasn't so good, but there are a lot of gems in there.

[Buddyroe360]

It would be a "screw you" if I had overly ridiculous expectations from a prime time cartoon........Alas, I'm not that much of a loser.

Really?

[Buddyroe360]

Thought we had an understanding........You pretend I'm not lame, and I won't post that article that got you banned from Fire Island.

I rarely watch American Dad, probably only seen about fifteen episodes or so, because the only character I find remotely entertaining is Roger (who I find immensely entertaining) but I caught that episode the other night and thought it was one of the best of the series that I have seen.

Different strokes, I guess. I lol'd multiple times. "That's it, Stan's dead, goodnight!"

[4-HBabe]

I wasn't banned. I was just asked to leave.

And that one guy made a full recovery.

Totally!!! Family Guy has gone down considerably and Cleveland Show has always **beast**. I always thought American Dad! was friggen original and hilarious

[kittypaw3]
