for the past 2+ decades of my existence ALL ive ever known TBS to be about was Atlanta Braves baseball, leftover NBA games and now i see them as the huge syndication giant with Seinfeld and Family Guy.

American Dad is going to be a huge staple on this network now. it's on what, season 11 now? i don't see why it cant go to 15, the writing has been top notch for years now. i even know people who hate family guy but somehow love american dad. go figure right?

Viewership figures for the first episode of American Dad! on TBS: 1.1 million for the original airing, 1.4 million for encore on Adult Swim. More viewers actually watched the encore than the initial airing. 2.5 million viewers total.

More on Deadline.com

Another thing: Sorry about that "end/cease production permanently" comment I made on the "American Dad Will Move to TBS in Late 2014" thread and initially objecting to / doubting the planned AD! network change at first (and doubting any success the show may have on the cable channel).

I'm sure hoping that it'll last a few more years. Think of the shows that run forever that are half as good.
