With over 300 episodes and counting, "American Dad" is one of the most successful and longest-running animated sitcoms on television. Created by Seth MacFarlane and former "Family Guy" writers Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman (https://www.ign.com/articles/2006/04/24/interview-the-creators-of-american-dad), the beloved comedy series premiered in 2005 and has been going strong ever since.
While it shares a visual style with "Family Guy," "American Dad" has differentiated itself thanks to its lack of reliance on cutaway gags, a bigger focus on narrative, and its cast of colorful characters. These include the titular patriarch Stan Smith and the lovable alien rogue Roger (https://www.looper.com/886275/roger-smiths-best-personas-on-american-dad/), who have both brought viewers countless hours of entertainment.
Yet, as is the case with most long-running television shows, "American Dad" has had its fair share of ups and downs. There are plenty of great episodes that have stuck in the minds of fans for years, but the showrunners have also churned out a number of duds that have fallen flat. Here's how every season of "American Dad" stacks up against the rest.
