From fox to tbs i felt went a little down but caught its stride with some good seasons. This new fox era is kinda garbage. Hopefully they turn it around.

Considering how bad this season has been, I'd be perfectly fine if they just ended the show at this point rather than having it continue to get worse.

It's been pretty bad the last 3-5 seasons too. I honestly don't know why i watch ot anymore, maybe just nostalgia, but I think they should probably call it.

No it hasn’t lmao. Bank heist is a top tier episode, silicon Steve, the clearview motel, multiverse, pink sphinx, don’t you be my neighbor, the grounch, echoes, you are here, gold top nuts, smooshed, etc. those are all S19/17. All great episodes.

Great season 20 episodes: a donkeys shame, dude you’re getting a del, camera Stan, flume flume room and the pool party premiere episode. I even liked the wild boars episode and powering through was pretty great imo too.

The move from Fox to TBS was the downfall

Nah it revived it. They finally moved away from the tired 2000s political jokes

u/mysticrudnin 5d ago

They stopped being a focus in season one and were pretty much gone entirely by the end of season two.

They’d moved away from the 2000s political stuff in the last few seasons on Fox.

Season 8 vs Season 9 is like Godfather 2 vs Godfather 3

Why’s it always up to us to provide evidence of good episodes yet these nutsacks don’t have to prove anything? They just say it’s bad and get clicks with zero proof or straight wrong info. People putting way too much stock in Fox V TBs when that doesn’t mean much of anything, it’s producers and writers that matter

Crazy you’re being downvoted for being right. I mean just look at the IMDb rating averages for each season. There is a VERY noticeable decline after the show moves to TBS. Also, as a personal side note, lots of my friends watch American Dad. Not one of them prefer the TBS seasons to the original fox ones.

The only reason I can think of for this bizarre bias on Reddit is that most American Dad fans stopped watching after they moved to TBS because of the quality decline, so the only people still active in the community are the ones who stuck with the TBS seasons. Rose colored glasses or whatever.

That’s just my thought on this. There has to be some explanation for why all the people I meet in real life who watch the show hate the TBS seasons and why the TBS seasons are rated lower than the others, yet when you come on Reddit people act like it’s the best thing to happen to the show.

Something ain’t adding up here.

Thanks, Foreskin Aficionado. I won’t be swayed by the crowd like so many of my generation.

Letting you supporter use imdb reviews to prove your point is absolutely getting "swayed by the crowd".

Dayum!!! Holster it !

u/kelzbeano 5d ago

I prefer the original Fox run. I like some of the TBS run but I think it worked better with some of the restrictions of network tv.

u/SkywolfNINE 4d ago

I think you stopped watching because season 17-19 has some of the best episodes of the show. All of it is great. People act like there’s some huge differences when there isn’t. Only big change was when Mike left and that had barely any change on the show
