Seasons 1-3 were fantastic

What happened that made the show bad?

American Dad made me realize that Family Guy was never good... it was just the best new thing at the time.

Meh. It was pretty stupid back then too. More tolerable though.

American dad is overrated imo. Just the same show with no cutaways and slightly changed characters

People saying those first few seasons are the best are the people who haven't watched since then.

no cutaways alone makes it significantly different than Family Guy.

They were legitimately good. What are you talking about?

And classic FG is way better than American Dad.

I agree with that. AD fixed a huge flaw with FG. I respect AD for making the dad character not stupid and giving the meg and chris characters real personalities.

Although I'll be fair and point out that Roger's ability to be anyone, anywhere, sometimes two different people in the same scene, in some ways emulates the randomness of cutaways anyway. But that's fine, because Roger is one of the best animated characters ever created.

Roger's the only good main character in AD.

I have never understood what people liked about the first few seasons of Family Guy. New Family Guy is at least just raw, dumb humor if you're into that, but before it was cancelled...?

While I like American Dad more than Family Guy overall, my biggest issue with the show is how repeatative and formulaic Stan's character arc is in most episodes.

-Stan hates something/someone he doesn't fully understand
-People try to convince him why he's wrong for thinking the way he do
-Something unfortunate happens to him and the thing/person he was initially doubting comes back to help (or hurt) him in some way
-He have a new found understanding of whatever it was he was writing off at the start of the episode.
-Repeat for the next episode
