Summary: "Like a morally justified lethal injection"--Stan
Comment: American Dad gets wittier with every season it seems. Season 1 was good but didn't produce memorable episodes. Season 2 had two of my favorite episodes ("Lincoln Lover" and "Roger N Me") and season 3 offers another all-time favorite of mine "Vacation Goo." This season also includes highlight shows like "Meter Made," "Dope and Faith," and "Surro-gate." There are not many weak episodes here although "Bush Comes To Dinner" was a little much. Stan's one-liners are what make this show. They are often wittier and funnier than any lines on Family Guy and even South Park. Oh, and Roger is a great character! Lately, I've been enjoying the new American Dad episodes more than Family Guy which shows that, while FG seems to be digressing, AD is setting itself apart with smarter, more consistent writing and less filler.

Disc 1:
"Bush Comes To Dinner"--G.W. has dinner at the Smiths and Roger gives him booze which causes him to fall off the wagon. Meanwhile, Roger tries to track down Osama Bin Laden to get the reward money to buy Dollywood. Stupid episode, but I like how G.W. stood up for Hayley by listing all the things he did in his youth.
"American Dream Factory"--After having his desk moved to the men's room, Stan decides to start his own business selling holiday teddy bears and hires illegal aliens. Also, Steve, Roger, and Steve's friends start a band--Roger looks like one of the Spinal Tap guys. Roger then takes over the band with renditions of public domain songs because he cannot write his own material ("Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna tell you about a little place I know, a little place called London Bridge...IT'S FALLING DOWN!!!!!")
"A.T. The Abusive Terrestrial"--This is the second episode in a row that mentions Mr. Pibb (Hmmmm). Stan and Francine go on a tour to save Mr. Pibb from being discontinued while Roger is tired of being ignored by Steve, so he finds another kid to play with who's abusive.
"Black Mystery Month"--While doing a school research project, Steve finds a conspiracy in the peanut butter industry.
"An Apocalypse To Remember"--Stan doesn't like being regarded as a "boob" by his family, so he makes them think they are the sole survivors of a nuclear holocaust so they will be dependent upon him--until they meet a frontiersman. Meanwhile, Roger proposes to a desperate woman so he can get a blender as a wedding gift. Crazy episode, and very funny.
"Four Little Words"--Stan sets up his boss with Francine's friend and she ends up dead and Stan's main concern is that Francine, who was against the idea, will say, "I told you so." Highlight: midget assassin. Meanwhile, a fake nose gets Roger mistaken for Kevin Bacon.
"When A Stan Loves A Woman"--Stan feels inadequate when he finds out Francine has been around the block several times, so Francine divorces him so he can find out sex without love is no big deal which results in Stan remarrying.
"I Can't Stan You"--When Stan finds out his neighbors constantly criticize him, he has the CIA seize their houses. Meanwhile, Roger and Steve fake accidents for compensation.

Disc 2:
"The Magnificent Steven"--After seeing Steve's sissy gym class at school, Stan--"in the spirit of George Bush, Ronald Reagan and Mr. Jolly," trains Steve and his friends to be ranchers with cattle infected with mad cow's disease. Meanwhile, Roger tries to make Hayley and Francine compete for his favor.
"Joint Custody"--Stan wants to get rid of Hayley's slacker boyfriend Jeff, but develops sympathy when he meets Jeff's father. Hayley explaining Jeff's problems to her father: "His mom ran way before he was born." Stan: "How...how could she do that?" Another highlight: Stan in the convenience store half baked: "There's a leopard on the Cheetos bag...No, wait...that's a cheetah. Cheetah...Cheetos...There's so much beauty in the world." The "Am I Jeff or money?" line was stupid, though.
"The Vacation Goo"--My favorite episode of this season and one of my all-time favorite American Dads. The Smiths always have the best vacations--then they discover it's because of CIA artificial memory chambers. Meanwhile, Roger's quest to be the world's greatest actress lands him in a stripper lounge. Hilarious!
"Meter Made"--For some reason, Francine thinks Stan is a nobody even though he works for the friggin' CIA! I guess she doesn't get any perks from his job. Stan then finds out the power, respect, and influence he can wield as a meter maid. Also, Hayley poses nude in an art class attended by Roger.
"Dope and Faith"--Stan finds a friend who has everything in common with him except a belief in the guy upstairs. Stan goes to extreme measures to convert him. Meanwhile, Roger tries to trick Steve into thinking he was accepted into wizardry school that turns out to be a meth lab. Another of the better episodes.
"Big Trouble in Little Langley"--Stan can't get along with Francine's Asian adoptive parents, so he finds her biological parents who seem perfect by his standards until he finds out the circumstances behind their giving up their daughter. Whatever happened to Hayley's bleeding "cold sore"?
"Haylias"--Hayley has a recurrent dream (an effect of Stan's CIA "Project Daycare" to train her as a sleeper agent) and decides it's a sign to break out of the mold and move to France. Stan uses the secret code to put her under his control so he can get her on the path to mommy/housewife land. Also, Roger and Steve decide to be private eyes. Angel died in Hurricane Katrina--THAT'S FUNNY!
"The 42-Year Old Virgin"--Stan's co-workers find out Stan never actually killed anyone but was just the recipient of many convenient mishaps of his victims. What's worse, the news wins him the hero-worship of Hayley. Roger and Stan's co-workers try to help Stan get his "cherry popped." He then gets his chance when Steve and his friends run off with a pedophile.

Disc 3:
"Surro-gate"--Greg and Terry want to have a child using a surrogate mother. Francine likes the idea and so does Stan "just replace 'support' with 'condemn' and 'beautiful endeavor' with 'horrible abomination.'" Francine is thus a little weary about telling Stan she is the surrogate (tiger with the chainsaw--that is funny). When Stan finds out, he pretends to be supportive until he gets his opportunity to steal the baby as well as any other children of same sex partners he runs into ("Does Al know?"--great line). Meanwhile, Roger and Steve live in terror Klaus the fish will get his revenge on a prank they pulled.
"Franny 911"--Roger is so vile, he loses the support of his biggest enabler Francine. Highlight: Klaus and Hayley daring each other including Klaus taking a photo under Francine's dress.
This disc includes over 60 extended and deleted scenes.

Summary: American Dad Volume 3
Comment: This was purchased for a gift, so I don't feel like I can give an honest review. I'm sure the person I bought it for will enjoy it.

Summary: Good but not great
Comment: With the cast back and Stan to protect us there is no room for mistake. Espcially for stan A weapons expert needs his space and in this season he has plenty of space to grow and give us lot of funny jokes. I expected this season to bang with new flavor and zaz, but was lacking.

I will admit that "The Goo" is my favorite episode and with great reason. The main reason the smith family goes on the vacaition is to get away from it all, but all Stan wants to do is get away from his family. Like Francine says "Nothing binds a family together like a dark and horrible secret." Watch the episode it is good. With this family done the thrid season leaves this writer hoping and wanting for more, more jokes and better comedy.

Summary: Great comedy, but.....
Comment: One of the best comedies on TV. The only reason I gave it a 3 star is because it is going to the GOD/Jesus jokes a little to soon. How is it that there are many religon's out there, but they only make fun of the Christians? It really bothers me! Stay away from GOD/Jesus there has to be more in this world to make fun of or joke around with.

Also, be very carefull this is the same guy who makes Family Guy and sells in Volumes NOT seasons. Look on Amazon and you will see you are not getting all the episodes!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Censored but still excellent entertainment
Comment: While I've always liked Family Guy, I've always loved American Dad. Intolerant people make for good comedy - you can thank All in the Family for that. Keeping with the 1/2 season per volume format, Volume 3 has more of the same red, white, and blue turds of entertainment that the first two volumes had except the dialog is censored. What the hell? These DVD's are not for kids so why the "bleeps?" It certainly detracts from the episodes especially when the other volumes weren't censored. That's my only knock against this set.
