American Dad has been on the air for 18 seasons and two networks. So that comes to a lot of episodes. How many, to be exact? Tonight at 10p on TBS, they are going to celebrate its 350th episode.
In honor of the milestone, they are giving back in honor of the out-of-the-world character Roger.
Roger (Seth MacFarlane) is a gender-neutral alien, so he has to go in disguise all the time when he is not with the Smiths. Because of that, he dresses up as a woman a lot. So, TBS has joined forces with iconic drag queens, Trixie Mattel and Trinity the Tuck, to create a custom video spot available on TBS’ social media platforms. For every quote-tweet of the video using the hashtag #AmericanDrag, TBS will donate $1 to The Trevor Project, a leader in suicide prevention and crisis intervention for LGBTQ young people.
So go to American Dad’s Twitter, and quote that Tweet! By doing so, you are getting the word out there about American Dad’s 350th episode and helping raise money for the Trevor Project.
On last week’s episode of Family Guy, Meg went to Russia with Stewie and Brian to confront Brian’s hacker. While she was there, she fell in love with Ivan.
Tonight at 930p on Fox, Ivan asks Meg to marry him. And she says yes. Will they really get married, or will something stop their nuptials? After all this, Meg, when has anything gone right for her? Unless this is the first time it does.
Then there is Chris. He brings home his yearbook, and his mom is upset that he is not in it anywhere. So Lois tells him to join an extracurricular activity because it will help him get into college. However, there is no group for him to join because no one wants him. That is, until he finds something the principal is doing at the school that he shouldn’t be doing. So Chris threatens the principal and asks to help him out. So what happens when Lois finds out what they are doing that they shouldn’t be doing? Will she support her older son, or will she destroy him? You know, because Lois ruins everything her children do.
Since this is the last episode of the 21st season, you don’t want to miss it. Because they always save the best for last! And this year, they totally didn’t disappoint us. But, then again, Seth MacFarlane and the writers never do with their brilliance.
The best part of the episode is they taught me something I didn’t know. Am I the only person who didn’t know what a Das Boot is? I can’t believe Fox let them do the storyline that goes with that reference. Which means they had to trick the censors into approving it! That is why I love this show because they know how to get what they want! And it is what we want too.
Have you been watching American Dad since day 1 and wondered how Roger came to the Earth? Tonight at 10p on TBS, we will find out.
The alien landed here in 1947, and he’s taken in by an interesting family. But then there is a knock on the door, and it is Deputy Director Avery Bullock.
And thus begins their cat-and-mouse game that is still going strong in 2023.
American Dad might be in its 18th season, but it is still just as funny now as when it debuted on that other network that cancelled it.
Fox announced today that it picked up The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob’s Burgers for two more seasons. That will bring their totals to 36, 23, and 15 seasons, respectively.
“With this trio of renewals, we celebrate excellence in animation on FOX, our wonderful, long-time partnership with 20th Television and the brilliant creators and incredible voices behind these forever favorites,” said Michael Thorn, President, Scripted Programming for FOX Entertainment. “Three-plus decades of The Simpsons, more than two decades of Family Guy and over a decade of Bob’s Burgers proves the enduring power of the animation genre on our network and the infinite fan affinity for these outrageously funny comedy classics.”
The Simpsons’ renewal means it broke its own record of the longest-running scripted show. At this rate, the show will outlive its voice actors.
The three animated series join The Great North and Krapopolis in the 2023-2024 lineup.
Seth MacFarlane ended 2022 by losing his cat Helix, and he is starting 2023 off with a new kitty named Arthur.
MacFarlane rescued his son from Heaven on Earth’s Perry Place over the weekend. The comedic genius helped to fund Perry’s Place over ten years in honor of his mother, a huge cat lover, who passed away.
Heaven on Earth is a no-kill rescue, and Perry’s Place has cage-free rooms for the adoptable cats to live freely until they find their furever home! It is the best rescue in Los Angeles. Heck, maybe California! I can keep going, but they are the only rescue I ever adopted a cat from in my nine lives. I cannot begin to tell you what an enjoyable, stress-free experience it was. Several people in my Buy Nothing group also got their kitties from there, and we all praise them and tell all wannabe catrents to go there to adopt.
I am forever grateful to the MacFarlane family and Heaven on Earth for giving me my nut. I hope Arthur makes MacFarlane as happy as my cat has made me.
And hopefully, Arthur will be loving it with his new dad and brother, Hank! But then again, how could Arthur not be purring all the time? He has the purrfect dad and drinking buddy for a brother.
Seth, I am just putting this out there, my girl is single and ready to mingle with your boys!
