I admit to quite frankly disliking American Dad when it first premiered. I didn't find it at all funny and it was basically a poor carbon copy of Family Guy. The writing was boring and the plots were mostly unenthusiastic political satire.
That said, sometime later, I gave the show another chance and things had dramatically improved. The plots were no longer one dimensional and the characterizations had improved, each given their own storylines to deal with (Except Klaus cause no one likes him!). As American Dad has gone on, I feel it's gotten a great deal better from its early days. It's quality has since often surpassed Family Guy and it was always leaps and bounds ahead of the horrible Cleveland Show.
If you haven't given it a second chance after checking it out and not liking it, you should. It's certainly worth another look.
On the whole, not so bad
