American Dad: A Look at What's Ahead
With the hit animated series set to start dropping new episodes beginning Monday, October 28th at 10 pm ET/PT, we got a better sense of what we can expect this month. The Smiths are overjoyed when the Langley Falls boardwalk reopens – but see their dreams of climbing Mount Everest turn into a nightmare. Meanwhile, Roger is struck with a mysterious illness, Klaus contends with an imposter, and so much more. In terms of guest stars, we can expect to hear the voices of Charles Barkley, Michael Imperioli, Leslie Jones, Joel McHale, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias, Neal McDonough, and both Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick.
In the images and previews that were previously released, we got a sense of some of the season's storylines – including one that sees Roger and Stan (both Seth MacFarlane) needing to join bodies to recover from a train accident. In another episode, Rogu (Dee Bradley Baker) is dealing with a potentially fatal illness – so guess which family decides to pretend that they're doctors to save him? Also, viewers can look forward to a Christmas episode (we're guessing that this one would be a Santa Claus-free holiday episode if the tradition of trading off years continues) as well as… another Klaus rap. Yup, you read that correctly. While you're processing that, make sure to note one of the images, in particular – it appears we're also getting an "old-timey" animated episode.
TBS's American Dad! stars Seth MacFarlane, Wendy Schaal, Scott Grimes, Rachael MacFarlane, Dee Bradley Baker, and Jeff Fischer. Stemming from 20th Television Animation, the animated series was created by MacFarlane, Mike Barker, and Matt Weitzman and is executive produced by co-showrunner Brian Boyle – along with MacFarlane and Weitzman.
