My feelings toward this show can be best expressed through this popular 1990's catch phrase:

I felt lukewarm. It was okay, but it just wasn't "Family Guy" type of funny. I'll eagerly await the new episodes of Family Guy.

Thought it was hilarious, just not as good as Family Guy which is one of those rarely seen strokes of pure genius that only lasts a short moment. The part with the Jack-in-the-Box man still makes me laugh my ass off when I think about over two hours since watching it.

It had some good bits, but the characters are awful right now and the pilot-episode exposition was pretty forced. Clearly they're going to need a little while to really congeal the funny.

Let's just say I'm glad they are making new Family Guy cause this is a piss-poor substitute for Family Guy.

maybe I just like it so much because im a cold republican and its like making fun of my own people who are in fact stupid? =\ feeling confused because me and 5 other people were laughing our asses off. Definetly not family guy great, but with all the total steaming piles of reality show **** that have been on tv for the past year it was a good breath of fresh comedy.

I can't say I was terribly impressed by American Dad. It was like Family Guy-lite.

Hate to say it, but I got bored with it about 10mins into it and left the room. I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come with the new Family Guy episodes.

I didn't laugh once during the whole show. :( And I LOVE Family Guy. It just didn't work for me.

I fell asleep watching it - didn't even make it to the first commercial break.

What I did see didn't impress me.

Glad I didn't bother watching it. I'm not a big fan of family guy in the first place, and if its worse, not worth the effort.

If you people don't support real programming, even lukewarm shows, then I don't want to hear any complaining when they replace those programs with shows featuring children of celebrities eating bugs in front of a panel of smarmy judges.

Let's give this show a chance to develop some before turning on it.

There were a couple amazingly funny spots. The talking goldfish isn't funny. The alien is... blegh.

Otherwise, it might be good in the long run. We'll see how it turns out.

Eh, Family guy felt like a clone of the Simpsons the first few episodes. Roger is the strongest character, the rest are not very likeable.

Definately a poor show. I laughed once the entire time. The mother character seems completely blank, just lines on a page and words in the script. The alien and the fish should be one character, instead of two diffrent attempts at comic relief. The entire thing was obviously a dig at Republicans, and while that can be cool, it cant hold an entire show. Though I did laugh at the Bush talking to God(that was the one laugh).

The reason Family Guy was so good was because half the jokes take a minute to actually land in your brain and you dont laugh right away, instead you laugh later when it finally hits you. Or they have a ton of humor that is really subtle. Like when Brian chases the miniature wagon through the kitchen, which was an old TV commercial. American Dad is lacking the subtle qualities and instead just throws it at us and insults our intelligence.

I would compare watching it to licking the sphincter of a skunk with dysentery (or so I have been told that said licking would be very bad…).

I love Family guy but that was worse than having Tom Arnold cast as Gandalf; worse than being forced to watch Rosanne do a routine with a brass pole; worse than having Michael Jackson as your kids babysitter after he has declared Bankruptcy.

Not that I have a strong opinion on this.

The dad is way too excentric to hold that level over an entire series... Him busting down everyone and shooting everything is going to tire very quickly.

I thought the part where he was dragging the dog was hilarious, along with the skier with a fish brain. Other than that it was lacking, of course every pilot is terrible.

I think it felt kind of odd because of the 'spinoff' feel it had. As if a minor FG character had gotten his own series.

I kind of half expected to see a family guy character show up to launch it right. Kind of how startreks TNG/DS9/VOY all had someone from the previous series show up in the series pilots.

Yes, that's it. It's like a parody tv show they would show for a minute on Family Guy.
