You know, ever since Greg and Terry broke up they've pretty much completely dropped the news stuff. They did the episode where they had to find a replacement anchor and that has been about it.

We've been the best team all year.

They're just finding out.
Still being able to add stuff that is strong enough to reoccur is a good sign for the long term health of the show. When was the last time The Simpsons did that? TBS is the greatest network ever. I love TBS.


What else do I need to do to convince TBS to support this show forever? I will do it.

As someone who's most recent season was 10 after the move from Fox and who does not have cable, what's the best way to watch the latest seasons?

I miss this show, it's quality level is so much higher than Family Guy and the like I find it hilarious AD is the show that got moved, but I'm glad it's thriving on TBS. It's just unfortunate that Netflix only has up to season 10.

Season 11 just ended this summer, so there will be a lag before they show up on Netflix. About the only way to watch them right now is to buy the episodes.

I always catch a few episodes in the afternoon and I was wondering what happened to her as well. She is a pretty good background character but just disappears at one point and is never heard from again like Terry.

They weren't even consistent about the whole killing people off, as several of those people would show up in the background of later episodes

They explain away Duper by saying it was a double. They do that in a few episodes where CIA characters die.

I'm still disappointed we don't get anymore of Stan's satanist friend. They really had something spacial there......

Didn't Stan's satanist friend actually go to hell? I haven't watched that episode in ages, it's one of my favorite early ones. It's amazing how much this show has grown out of being a family guy clone, it's probably been the better show for almost 7 or 8 years now

American Dad wiki posted:

He has a crowd scene cameo in "100 A.D." where he dies in a bus crash. He returns as a clone of himself in "Son of Stan" where he states that he is the same except the old Duper was "married to some ugly bitch".

In "The Kidney Stays in the Picture", he has turned into a pile of goo from failing to return from a time travel mission on time. Here, he is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.

He's now really dead.

I'd say, save for the first few S1 eps, AmDad has absolutely been the better show.

There was the tendency to do FG-style gags (like, oddly enough, having Trump appear whenever somebody said "You're fired").

It's not even a question. I thought Family Guy was funny until maybe the third season. It's been just embarrassing since it premiered the second time.

There was some discussion on one of my facebook groups about AD, a member was asking if the show had gotten any better because they were surprised it was on season 11, and many of us were very much yes!

I said that once it dropped the very basic "Conservative dad doesn't understand his family" and fully embraced the insanity the shows situation could bring, it became brilliant. Plus letting Roger out was one of the best decisions they made.

I want Suckboy Tony to just turn up in the background in strange places, like Principal Lewis's office or the trunk of Bullock's car. Never remarked on - Bullock's getting a suitcase, there's Suckboy Tony, he shuts the trunk and no one pays any heed.

I love that whenever Stan is doing something during the day the writers always include something about how Stan is missing work. The one where he was the bully work calls him, this past episode Francine asks him about it, and those are just off the top of my head. Stan always never seems concerned nor does the CIA seem to give 2 shits where he is.
