Red Alert! American Dad Reupped
The homeland is secure for at least another year now that American Dad is staying on duty.
Although the terrorism threat level may be yellow these days, Fox has given the green light to a fourth subversive season of Seth MacFarlane's 'toon about a flag-waving CIA agent and his wacky family.
In a belated Father's Day gift, the network has ordered 22 new episodes of Dad that will take the animated sitcom through the 2008-09—plenty of time for the Langley Falls, Virginia-based Smiths to do their part to protect the good ol' U.S. of A from terrorists, enemy spies and, of course, commie pinko extremists.
American Dad, which kicks off its third season this fall, was created by MacFarlane, Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman and executive produced by Kenny Schwartz, David Zuckerman and Rick Wiener.
The show debuted after the 2005 Super Bowl and has remained a solid performer paired with MacFarlane's other brainchild, Family Guy, during Fox's Sunday-night cartoon block.
American Dad retains about 80 percent of its Stewie-powered lead-in and averaged 7.5 million viewers last season, consistently ranking tops in its time slot for males 18 to 34.
With the aid of German-speaking goldfish Klaus and a sardonic, martini-swilling space alien named Roger, the Smiths have embarked on 62 misadventures—ranging from Reagan-worshipping Stan (voiced by MacFarlane) getting rescued by Roger from Area 51 and his dealings with stoner-liberal daughter Haylie's deadbeat hippie boyfriend to his accidental befriending of a group of Log Cabin Republicans and traveling back in time to prevent Jane Fonda from ruining Christmas.
