American Dad

CIA agent cartoon

American Dad is an animated television sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane, following a conservative CIA agent and his eccentric family, including a flamboyant alien and a German-accented goldfish.

The show's humor relies on political satire and absurdist premises: I started rewatching American Dad and forgot how good it is.

It premiered in 2005 and has outlasted many of its contemporaries.
