The school bully saves Steve's life at the carnival and is celebrated as a local hero by everyone but Steve; new episode airs this Sunday as part of the Animation Domination Block.
Our friends at FOX have just shared another exclusive clip from with AWN to remind us just how funny their hugely popular animated comedy American Dad! is. Mark your calendar for this Sunday, April 12 at 9:00 pm ET/PT for an all-new episode, “Idol Threat.”
In the episode, the school bully saves Steve's life at the carnival and is celebrated as a local hero by everyone but Steve.
Created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker, and Matt Weitzman, and now in its 20th season, American Dad! chronicles the misadventures of super-patriotic CIA agent Stan Smith (MacFarlane) and his unconventional family in Langley Falls. In addition to MacFarlane, the cast includes Wendy Schaal as Stan’s blissfully unaware wife, Francine; Rachael MacFarlane as his left-wing activist daughter, Hayley; Jeff Fischer as her dopey, well-intentioned husband Jeff; and Scott Grimes as Stan’s geeky, high-school-aged son, Steve. There are also the two less conventional members of the clan: Roger, a sarcastic space alien (MacFarlane), and Klaus, a goldfish with the brain of a German Olympic skier (Dee Bradley Baker).
Enjoy the clip, “The Family Goes to the Carnival”:
Armed with a four-season renewal and spot on the Animation Domination block, the show recently returned to FOX after more than 10 years on TBS. It’s produced by 20th Television Animation, and is executive-produced by co-showrunner Brian Boyle, along with MacFarlane and Weitzman.
