You get what you want, from this show. They have a variety of writers so you get something different each episode. There is nothing out of reach. The writing is genius and there’s nothing i look forward to more then new episodes of American Dad. I buy each new season even though I can watch it for free with my cable provider and the TNT app or wait until it’s released on Hulu but I would never be able to wait. It’s one of the only shows I actually try to find out when the new season starts as soon as the season finally is over. I am American Dads number one fan.

I don't know if it was the move to TBS, if they got new writers, or if they just ran out of material, but season 10 is just awful. I keep watching, hoping the next episode will be better than the previous one, but they're always a disappointment. With that said, having 9 out of 10 good seasons is still noteworthy. Fingers crossed season 11 is worth watching.
