Francine seemed to be directing Stan, but it just wasn't working.

You're probably right, it's just the writing was really vague in that scene Personally I think they should have approached it from a different angle, like say have the sex stuff work out initially, but show that over time Stan is uncomfortable not being the dominant one in their relationship anymore, rather than them trying it and giving up after two minutes But honestly doing a literal gender bender episode would have worked better with Steve in the first place

The_Doctor posted:We could also include the surprisingly sensitive LGBSteve. Great episode, although it highlights what I said regarding how the show would be better with tighter continuity, as it comes after the "Stan becomes a woman" episode, and thus it feels kinda weird that the gender changing pills don't get brought up even in an offhand way when gender is the main issue of the episode(or the fact that another main cast member had recently gone through that kind of thing) I think what bugs me the most about the lack of consistent continuity in animated sitcoms is that it is many times easier to keep track of that kind of thing in a cartoon than it would be on a live action sitcom, so it just feels like laziness that they don't

The main problem with American Dad is they've killed off everyone a few times so it's hard to do continuity. Throw Roger in the mix and it gets even harder. That being said I do wish more shows kept track of continuity the way The Venture Brothers does.

In an effort to find out when the new season was coming out I goggled "American Dad Premiere." The first suggestion that most people ask is "Is American Dad Cancelled", the second is "When Was American Dad Cancelled." I feel like this show needs to work on its advertising. I'm also wondering if I'm a snob for liking things that few people know about. Edit: From actually searching all I can find is maybe in 2019. limp_cheese fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Aug 18, 2018 |

Hard to say when it comes back. The previous 22 episode season went Nov-Dec, April-Sept. This current season had the Christmas premiere, then went Feb-May. So I don't know if that means we get new episodes in the fall or what the deal is.

Female Stan, while conventionally attractive, just isn't Francine's type (as seen in the My Morning Jacket episode she prefers women who are a little more butch). Stan, meanwhile, had his gender swapped but not his sexuality. The female version of him is heterosexual, just like the male version, and isn't capable of feeling sexual attraction to other women. So they're physically incompatible, even though they still care about each other on an emotional level. drrockso20 posted:Great episode, although it highlights what I said regarding how the show would be better with tighter continuity, as it comes after the "Stan becomes a woman" episode, and thus it feels kinda weird that the gender changing pills don't get brought up even in an offhand way when gender is the main issue of the episode(or the fact that another main cast member had recently gone through that kind of thing) The gender changing pills wouldn't have really helped Steve in that situation, he wasn't trying to change into a woman he was trying to decide whether or not he already was one.

Why bother walking all the way down to your dad's office to get a magical pill when you can just grab some masking tape out of the garage and call it a day?

The census episode just played on Adult Swim. When I first saw that episode I was... weirdly delighted to hear Ice-T’s voice at the end. Ice-T owns.

Golden era of the show was from about season 3 to season 11 which is a pretty impressive run. Season 12 has some good episodes in it, but at this point I feel the show is way off from where it once was. I miss the clever, multi layered jokes that seem to come effortlessly in the previous seasons. The show was at its best when it wasn't going for the cable tv shock factor imo.
