You're telling me the Gurnot Und Strudel show was based on a book, rather than East German policies.

I think the idea is that those are all "weird" episodes of American Dad that really push the premise.

Is there a character who looks like a Roger persona but is actually a normal (if misshapen) person? Like, the family see them and go "Oh it's Roger" and Roger comes in and says "Hey, I thought so too but it's not!" I don't mean when they think it will be Roger, but that they look like they are.

There's Wilbur Kentucky from when Stan became an enumerator.

Adult Swim originals have like half the budget of American Dad, if that.

They're also owned by WB, same as TBS, so it's not like AD would have much of a future there.

Nobody owns American Dad. It's spraying in an endless font from the earth, as streaming providers squabble over who will be forced to divert and contain the wellspring

Worth noting that since Fox (the Odious Media Company) sold Fox (the Studio) to Disney, they've been on a TBS/WBD-style programming purge. The network has put a lot into sports rights and reality programming and way less into traditional narrative series over the last few seasons. I wonder if 20th Century Television had already planned to continue AD on Hulu, but Fox negotiated "Alright well we get first-run broadcast rights" at a bargain rate as part of that big $1.5b deal mentioned earlier.

The commercial for Klaus and Roger's suit business is an all time bit. Are you bigger than 42R? WE CAN'T HELP YOU, LOOK ELSEWHERE!

Plant MONSTER. posted:Danuta is a great character. I should seek to emulate her. Should I buy a bat? Danuta and Nerfer are great adds to the cast, giving Hayley a friend group opens her up to more storylines in the same way Steve's friend group gives him more adventures he can go on. Another thing that's been great for Hayley is her job, I feel like that was probably supposed to be a single episode thing that the writers kept around because it just gave them so much more to do with her. There have been a lot of great subhub related plots.

I really enjoy when Danuta and Nerfer point out to Hayley that her being married with a steady job is kinda aspirational to them. I get why she was a complete loser in the early seasons but she and the show are much improved by letting her have stuff going on.

I think the last episode they intended to riff off of Megalopolis, and they just did a better plot than Megalopolis.
