Looks like the Adult Swim just showing the new episode an hour later was a one time thing as they're not doing it this week.

Yeah, they'll be showing it next week. It will be one week behind from now on like when it was on Fox. Still not too bad.

No, it was literally the 5th episode on TBS.

I also don't think you can even say it was figuratively the second episode on TBS because that wouldn't make any sense.

Real issues with the flow are associated to the jammed in before credits stinger. You either make it not count (and then you lose 2 minutes of the plot) or you basically have to pause everything for the credit roll and post credit commercials. Its a terrible decision on TBS's part and I wish they hadn't mandated it.

The Cleveland Show really just felt like people taking the discarded jokes off the Family Guy writing floor and recycling them. It wasn't horrible, but it was excessively bland and never found its own voice.

All the new episodes are on TBS's app and I assume they're website as well.

They all require login from your cable provider. So, it really doesn't help anyone that cut the cord.

The episodes can be purchased in the normal places like Google Play. Turner also signed a very extensive deal with Hulu, so my guess is the episodes will eventually be streamed there after the season completes.

Renewed for two more seasons. 22 episode seasons, so 44 more episodes were ordered. That's on top of the 22 episode order they already had which will start airing in 2016. So, we have at least 66 more episodes of American Dad to look forward to.

Which, with the current airing schedule, should take us through 2025.

The description on my Tivo has a bit more and it sounds like it may be an out of continuity episode set in a post apocalyptic wasteland. So, the title may be a play off of 'The 100.'

Some minor spoilers: It's out of continuity


For “The Two Hundred,” “American Dad” ventures from its usual contemporary stories for an episode set in a post-apocalyptic future when a heavily tattooed Stan is trying to find his family while survivors fear a dreaded gang known as “the 200.” Weitzman says an aspect of the episode — Stan’s tattoos — was inspired by Ray Bradbury’s “The Illustrated Man,” which features a former carnival freak show denizen whose animated tattoos each tell a different story.

My ATT newsfeed just told me that American Dad died in nice. The tortured grammar aside (I'm assuming it's a problem with their copy editor) did the show get canceled or is it just pulling a stunt for ratings? American Dad without Stan wouldn't be as good.

This is season 14 and there are 22 total episodes.

Season 15 of another 22 episodes is already ordered.

So, currently, we have 42 unaired episodes.

I would have to imagine if the ratings stay where they want them, a 16th season would be ordered.

Season 11 ran from Jan to June so there really wasn't an opportunity for a Christmas episode.

Season 10 had "Dreaming of a White Porsche Christmas" where Stan wishes for Lewis's life.

Season 9 was Krampus

"Gifted me Liberty" ran in June and it was the secret Santa one, but Christmas wasn't the primary focus. It doesn't really fit with the semi-canonical Christmas episodes.

It's a good episode, but I never understood recommending 'special' episodes to people to get them into a show. They're a treat for fans, but don't do a lot to show how the show usually is.

I love Tearjerker too, but I wouldn't introduce someone to the show with it.

Counterpoint: Hot Water is great.

Of course it is. I still maintain though that the peak weird of an intro episode should be either CIA super science or Roger doing something inexplicable.

I would say "Don't Look a Smith Horse in the Mouth" is a good one except the payoff of "good, I'm only his assistant" doesn't work as well if you aren't familiar with Roger being everyone.

I think the best impression ever on the show was in "Home Adrone."

Roger doing an impression of Stan was amazing since they are both Seth anyways. But Roger doing an impression of Stan was different than just doing Stan's voice.
