Considering the placement of that Strangers on a Train reference I'm disappointed there wasn't a final confrontation around a carousel

Zero One posted:Am Dad only sometimes cares about continuity. It'll only come up again if it's funny. Continuity in American Dad exists for the sole purpose of enhancing jokes. Case in point: Francine: Stan, we had a dog already. Stan: I don't think so. Francine: We did! Five years ago you got Steve an old dog that peed dust, and you killed it.We also had another dog named Fussy that you didn't like or something. Stan: Francine, those were obviously dreams. I refuse to discuss your dreams in the daytime.

They have stuck to relationship continuity pretty well. Haley and Jeff dated, broke up, got married, got abducted by aliens. Greg and Terry had a kid, now are still broken up I think. Even Steve had that goth girlfriend for a few episodes.

Bob's Burgers gets close. Events have lasting consequences (the ice cream machine still has mechanical shark bite marks) but the characters haven't aged.

McSpanky posted:Does anyone else feel the animation quality's taken a hit sometime during the TBS run? THe writing quality is fantastic and definitely far beyond where Simpsons was in its same period but it seems the framerate has been dialed down to somewhere around "college student Flash resume", even the intro seems choppier. It feels the same to me. They still have the same two animation timing supervisors and they still use the same Korean studio they've been using for years.

Buckley died, Joseph went through puberty, Cotton got married and had a baby, Nancy eventually broke up with John Redcorn. American Dad is not the show you're looking for. Whatever gets us is to the next joke is all the continuity American Dad needs.

The Nastier Nate posted:King of the Hill? Buckley died, Joseph went through puberty, Cotton got married and had a baby, Nancy eventually broke up with John Redcorn. King of The Hill did it pretty well overall, but even it had some continuity goofs, and like all Sitcoms was overly reliant on "Return to Status Quo" endings(which is honestly the thing that annoys me the most about these kind of shows, kinda feels pointless to introduce something just to undo it by the episode's end)

The "poor people are like cats" bit was great. Everything with Morning Mimosa really. I think what impresses me with this show the most is what they can get away with. As much as "an alien giving birth to a man that expands like one of those sponge dinosaurs" sounds like monkey cheese, in this show it makes sense.

For a relatively recent addition to the show, they've gotten a lot of mileage out of Morning Mimosa and it's all been really good. It's pretty crazy how consistent American Dad is. It has some episodes that fall flat, but 14 seasons in and it still produces great seasons.

Roger suctioning on to Jeff's head and consuming his brain was well-timed. "Now there's a 10% chance I'm pregnant!"

I loved the logic that being rebirthed from an alien means he's human again.
