American Dad is the little show that could, so much so that it is filming its 400th episode.
The animated comedy debuted on Fox in 2005. Then it was cancelled in 2013, only to be saved by TBS, where it aired until this year. That is because they axed the show, only to have Fox take it back. Because of that, it is now getting to turn 400 episodes.
American Dad follows the Smith family. Stan is an uptight CIA agent, his wife Francine is a stay at home mom, their daughter Hayley is the opposite of her dad, and Steve is the nerdy son. Oh, and they have an alien named Roger, who makes ALF look boring.
I love Cinderella stories like this one that get a happy ending.
While shows are airing their season finales, Fox is announcing its Summer plans. So get your calendars out because now we know what to watch when.
I am looking forward to MasterChef: Dynamic Duos most because you know the teams are going to be fighting and the food will be flying! Plus, Aarón Sánchez is finally gone!!!

Today was a very good day to be a long-running Fox animated show. That is because the network picked up The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, and Family Guy for four more years. Those three will be joined by American Dad, which is coming home after moving to TBS in 2014.
“This historic four-season order from our longtime partners at FOX is truly monumental for these iconic animated series. We are so proud that these legendary shows will continue for hundreds of more episodes, allowing new and longstanding fans to watch, rewatch and experience more of The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad and Bob’s Burgers for years to come,” said Marci Proietto, head of 20th Television Animation.
The four-year renewal means that The Simpsons will make it to its 40th season. It is the show that will never die. And that is a good thing.
Seth MacFarlane was just 16 years old when The Simpsons debuted. Now, the 51-year-old has two uncancelled shows airing alongside the GOAT! Pretty impressive!
Pete Davidson has dated sought-after celebrities like Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, and Kim Kardashian. And we were like, how does he get all these women?
Now, we might know, thanks to Family Guy. What is it? He said, “I just text them back promptly. That’s it. That’s the secret.”
There you have it, men. If you want to get and keep a woman, text her back.
Here I thought it was his humor because who doesn’t like a funny man? Even though I don’t find him funny.
In 2005, Seth MacFarlane had his second show on Fox, American Dad. It stayed there for 11 seasons before moving to TBS and has been there ever since.
TBS has decided to get out of the scripted show business and has decided they do not want any more new episodes.
So does that mean the end of the series, which did well on the cable network? Fox is looking to save the animated sitcom and air the 20th season and more on their network, according to Deadline.
This is the second time that Fox has cancelled a MacFarlane series and brought it back. The first one being Family Guy. Hopefully, they learned their lesson not do that again.
This is a smart move on Fox’s part. Their new shows, The Great North, Krapopolis, Grimsburg, and Universal Basic Guys, have yet to find an audience because, in my opinion, they suck.
If Fox wants to bring back one of their other animated shows, I vote for The Critic!
