[Zbu Manowar]

The first thing that struck me about American Dad is how much it was created just to be the second coming of Family Guy. All Seth did was put the characterizations and family placement into a Yahtzee cup and shake. Then he flipped a few of the family dynamic (Hey, the Stewie character is now an amorous goldfish! Brian is a Paul Lynde like alien! And now Chris has the glasses and angst of Meg while the daughter is considered stupid because she's a liberal! HA!) and now...

Well, a few parts of it made me laugh but the show on whole just has quite a few problems. With Family Guy coming back, the show needs to find its own identity before it's labeled a second-rate Family Guy clone. Which, essentially, it was made to be.
