"American Dad!" Moving to TBS in 2014
Jul 16, 2013
by Sadie Gennis

"American Dad!" will move to TBS in late 2014 following its upcoming 10th season on Fox, TBS announced Tuesday.

"American Dad! is a great fit for TBS, a favorite of comedy fans who like smart, irreverent humor with ample doses of biting wit and skewering satire," Michael Wright, president and head of programming for TBS, said in a statement. "We look forward to welcoming Seth MacFarlane and the rest of his team as they bring this iconic show to TBS."

TBS, which currently airs reruns of "American Dad!", has ordered 15 episodes for Season 11. Adult Swim will broadcast encore episodes following each original TBS airing.

I like American Dad, little surprised though it keeps coming back, all for reruns I guess

This is really weird. American Dad is a pretty solid performer for FOX. But their animation line-up is a bit overcrowded, and AD does really well in cable re-runs, so I guess it makes sense.

It does and I'll keep an eye for it when it moves.

Why couldn't "AD"'s run have ended permanently instead?

So? Other "great shows" have to end their runs sooner or later.

Cleveland Show's gone. They should explain the loss of that show on Family Guy.

I was worried that Wendy Schaal may be getting too old to play Francine?

these 2 new fox shows look like they'll last about as long as that stupid napoleon dynomite

Cleveland show deserves a proper final season

James28 · 07-21-2013, 10:37 AM

I'll give AD! two years on TBS.

Also, don't you think the TBS channel hop should have happpened to "The Cleveland Show" instead? (if CS were still producing new episodes)

KurtPikachu2001 · 08-07-2013, 09:06 AM

Now that it's moving to TBS, does this mean FOX has cancelled it?

Hope not! It's an awesome show that deserves to last.

A proper final episode would be better.

No? American Dad does much better in syndication, and TBS doesn't even air The Cleveland Show.

So far The Cleveland Show only airs on Adult Swim.

^^Now, TBS airs reruns of Cleveland Show at 12:30 PM, before an hour of AD reruns at 1:00 PM.

KurtPikachu2001 · 11-19-2013, 04:30 PM

So, no new American Dad in Janurary?
