They said 2016 I believe; which is weird since the backlog has to be approaching something like 30 episodes at this point.

I think the backlog is actually closer to 50 at this point.

Hopefully the delay is so we can get AD! from January to June straight through without any month-long gaps like the several we got this past season.

I really wouldn't be surprised if they took an incomplete rejected script(the Stan gets Francine committed parts of the episode), and then added the Fung parts to pad it out into a full episode so they'd be able to complete the first season order for TBS, it's hard for me to imagine an episode ending up so badly otherwise, otherwise you are right about the TBS season being fun for the most part, even if the quality has dipped a bit

also anyone else find it kinda weird that we haven't gotten an announcement for when the next season is set to premiere yet?

It's kind of like Futurama's return. They were still funny, but didn't really capture the really peak stuff. Though finally seeing Gwen didn't disappoint.

Futurama's return series produced a handful of the very best episodes of the entire series, that's a truly terrible simile.

It was supposed to be the series finale and run like the other anthologies at the end of the season, but they started seeing product and realized it was terrible and were like, "Nah, we can't go out like this."

We've been the best team all year.

They're just finding out.
The last of Futurama was like fan fiction. Mostly bad, sometimes surprisingly good, but never quite right. I'm worried American Dad is trending in the same direction.

Yeah, the pic I posted was from the TBS Twitter. They put up new AD pics all the time, usually relevant to what's going on in the world. That was at the time of NYCC back in early October. I love that everyone's costume is fun but obviously homemade while Steve's is perfect.

Nope, while Family Guy has a bunch of new eps on this season that I've not bothered to watch. :sigh:

It looks like Fox will only end up airing a total of 6 episodes of Bob's Burgers in this current season before 2016. That's pretty sad scheduling even with sports preemption to account for.

Counterpoint: it's the same as usual, down to the plots all inducing a sense of deja vu. It's still more watchable than Simpsons though.

I thought American Fung was actually ok, better than MMJ. The cold open was ok, Puddin on the hits, Stan's chase scene through the nursing home and the closing American Chinese Dad.

MMJ didn't sit well with me because even though there were a few solid jokes, the whole episode felt railroaded as some writer's vanity project who couldn't shut up about "HEY GUYS! HAVE YOU HEARD THIS BAND I LIKE!"

As for ditching Jeff to get through the backlog, I fully approve because it gave us the Longest Distance Relationship and Lost In Space, probably my favorite episode of American Dad ever.

I really liked American Fung, it really showed when a form of entertainment changes hands it goes through changes no matter what.

Like Fung becoming a character and then the main character of the show. And Fung just bought the show to sell it down the line later anyway.

The chinese american dad ending was good.

I think those are the titles for the upcoming season.

Some pretty great titles in there too. Interesting to see them do another two-part episode this season.
