Synopsis

Features the first three series of the show.

Customer Reviews

As funny as Family Guy, maybe even better
After watching this box set of American Dad , I can't decide which is actually better/ funnier out of this or Family Guy.

American Dad shares the absurd and obscene humour of Family Guy , but at the same time it's much different from it.
Sure we have the typical family cast format, but unlike Family Guy American dad is more focused with the story of the episode.
Sure Family Guy is random fun with it's many sketches, but American Dad shows it can be just as funny and still focus on the main story without going off on huge tangents.

Also since the father of the series works for the CIA , it justifies for interesting scenarios.
This series also displays current era topics in a refreshingly light hearted and funny fashion too, with sprinklings of light character development.
Even though it does tackle real world issues you never really get the feeling of lessons being forced down you're throat ( although the characters do learn from their mistakes and change) , since it's so stupidly funny.

If you love Family Guy , definitely give American Dad a try !
I'd say it's very much an evolution of Family Guy !

It is what it is...
This is just what it says it is! American Dad seasons 1,2,3. And what awesome seasons they are! If you have any sense of humour you'll love this! 'Nuff said.

Better than Family Guy and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than The Simpsons!
First I saw The Simpsons. At the time it was one of the most popular sitcoms on TV. Then Futurama arrived in the comedy section which I first saw on my 7th Birthday. I enjoyed it. I didn't encounter it again until 2004 which was the year after I first saw it. For a total of four years I loved the entertainment of Futurama and then The Simpsons Movie was announced. I went to see The Simpsons Movie and I started to like The Simpsons again. Then I got the DVD on my 12th birthday. Then I had a party on saturday. It was about 7 or 8 o clock when I couldn't find any of the party guests so I went into the lounge and saw them all sitting there with my older sister watching Family Guy. I immediatley start to love Family Guy. six months after Peter Griffin's Holy Crap!
and Stewie's Die Lois Die! I went on amazon thinking about buying a Family Guy DVD box set and then I noticed American Dad season 1 and read some reviews and the description of the product and thought I should give this a go. Then by coincidence it was on BBC Three a week later! I watched it loved it recorded loads more episodes on my SKY+ Box. Now I think American Dad is the best sitcom but I still like Family Guy.
