Are you watching earlier ones? Because it surpasses prime Family Guy around season 3.

Season 1 isn't great, but it gets way better once Roger becomes a real main character and they ease off on Stan being an actual bigot.

I thought most of the first ~7 seasons were great, but have watched very little beyond that.

American Dad really took its sweet time to hit its stride. But once it does around season 3-4 its more gold than trash. But yeah, it has many a rough moment and episode.

Awful take.

Season 2 - 6 are gold. Everything after is hit or miss, tho.

The transition to TBS wasn't great, either.

it's one of the stupidest animated sitcoms ever made tbh

but Roger is basically the worst part

Out of morbid curiosity, what do you consider a good animated sitcom?

American Dad is phenomenal, past the first season or two which are very much Family Guy lite.

I also think it actually hit its stride really late in its run, and I think the TBS move was for the better. It found its niche in a really wacky style of humor that's off the wall and very silly but in a fun way. I think most of its newer episodes are among its best, though I've admittedly missed a lot over the past few years.

The bowling episode may be my favorite of the whole show, though, and it really exemplifies the sillier but more outright funny style of humor that the shoe goes for these days, that works really well IMO.

South Park and Bob's Burgers

Both of those are also excellent shows, so I have to admit I can't quite guess why you would hate American Dad so strongly while also liking these other shows.

Bob's burgers is really grounded, so at first I thought maybe you didn't like the absurd nature of most American Dad plot lines, but South Park gets just as weird so it can't be that. American dad, especially early on, does its fair share of moralizing but Bob's Burgers can fall victim to that too.

What about American Dad repulses you so much, if you don't mind taking the time? I'm not going to try to argue or convince you out of your opinion. I'm just legitimately curious.

South Park is funny, and was hysterically funny in it's prime, and Bob's Burgers is cool, but lets not pretend that Bob's Burgers is even close to South Park. Or Family Guy for that matter. I find it kinda boring tbh

I'd put Bob's Burgers at or near the top for animated sitcoms that I've seen tbh. I think it'd be that or King of the Hill at the top for me.

I honestly haven't kept up with it since it moved from Fox, but I really want to catch up. I honestly think that it became far better than even prime Family Guy after a season or two.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

IMO, it used to be a great show, but they just kept changing the character behaviors (especially Stan), and it went downhill and into a bottomless pit.

The show was fantastic from season 3 up until they switched to TBS (and Mike Barker left), easily surpassing to peak Family Guy. Seth McFarlane, aside from all the voices he does, was always hands off with the show and it's so much better for it.

Yeah American Dad is fucking awful I'd rather watch Family Guy than sit through American Dads lame shit. People who like it better probably think Bob's Burgers is funny.
