Online Watch American Dad Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Meanwhile, Hayley and Jeff try to rekindle their fading romance, while Roger, as his latest persona, Abigail Lemonparty, falls for an older gentleman.The random escapades of Stan Smith (Seth MacFarlane), an extreme right wing CIA agent dealing with family life and keeping America safe, all in the most absurd way possible. Stan's ditzy wife, Francine (Wendy Schaal), has an unfaltering loyalty that allows her to turn a blind eye toward Stan's unabashed arrogance. Meanwhile, Stan constantly butts heads with his 18-year-old daughter and left-wing activist, Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane), who knows just how to push her father's buttons whether it's by helping the homeless, demanding women's rights or supporting gun control.

Hayley's 14-year-old brother is the geeky yet cocky Steve (Scott Grimes), a kid who spends his time playing Dungeons & Dragons and obsessing about the opposite sex. The Smith cabinet is rounded out by two rather unconventional members.

There's the selfish and sarcastic space alien, Roger (Seth MacFarlane), who lives in the attic and loves to play dress-up; and Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker), an attention-starved goldfish with the brain of a German guy who is always willing to vocalize his opinions regardless of whether anyone is listening.

This eccentric family full of radically different personalities is just trying to find a way to love and trust one another in a bi-partisan way. And with a guy like Stan in charge of national security, it's guaranteed to be one hilarious ride.

Its more then worth watching if your a fan of the show, and if your not you should give this a try. Its almost always entertaning, and better then "Family Guy" is right now. Their are worse ways to spend 20 (well 30 with ad's) minutes.

Love, AD Style” is a perfect way for American Dad to start a new season. It’s absurd in premise, but intently focused, and not lacking for the kind of jokes that made me love the show in the first place.

Roger is opening a lounge in the Smith family attic, which no one thinks is weird, but attendance is dismal, and his perfectly-douchily-facial-haired lounge owner alter ego decides its because he needs entertainment.

At one point, he angrily insists that he didn’t write “City Slickers” with Babaloo Mandel for nothing, which means that this is Roger’s version of Lowell Ganz, which is exactly the kind of super-targeted, out of nowhere kind of writing I’ve come to expect from this show. And, even if you aren’t aware of the famous Hollywood writing duo, at least “Babaloo” sounds funny. It’s a win-win.

The core of the episode turns on a completely ludicrous development. As Hayley finishes her rendition of “Makin’ Whoopee,” Roger realizes he’s in love with her, to the point of obsession.

After a short time trying to distract himself with new hobbies (he stitches a wall hanging of himself, in full English riding regalia, mounting Hayley like a horse), the show takes a horror-movie turn, ending with Roger wearing a skin-suit made from Hayley’s husband.

That the last image of the episode is a bloody, skinless thumbs up from Jeff shouldn’t really be a surprise from American Dad. It’s a show that’s clearly not afraid of taking a turn for the dark. Nor is it afraid of lightening up that dark with a few absurd little jokes.

Roger’s statement after putting on the skin-suit that he can’t take off his hat because he’s “got everything held together up there with a chip clip” was the biggest laugh line of the night for me.

Oh, that’s right. There was a B-plot here too, with Stan trying to sell his old car in exchange for a new “COK Guzzler.” Most of this didn’t do much for me, until it rose to the insanity level of the main plot when a bikini-clad car-show model ended up trapped inside a burning SUV with a lion.

There was some great animation there, when the lion flopped out of the car window, beat up and exhausted, then instantly pounced on the girl who was trying to crawl away. It was all a little morbid, but enjoyably so, and I appreciate the show’s willingness to go for it in the way it does.

On first glance, American Dad looks like a carbon copy of Seth MacFarlane's "other" show Family Guy. The animation is near identical, the lead character Stan Smith's knuckle headed optimism and in-your-face presentation doesn't so much recall Peter Griffin as grab you by the throat and scream in your face and Roger the alien and Klaus the goldfish work in much the same way Stewie and Brian do in the previous show.

So far so very familiar, as though MacFarlane dressed up his fourth FG series with different characters when it was initially cancelled so as to stay on the air but stick with it, and American Dad will eventually reveal itself as a superior cartoon to it's predecessor.
