American dad!

Image hosting by Photobucket
After downloading episode 211 for a second time, I decided that I shouldnt take a chance with it getting deleted/lost again and watch it then and there in the siffy cafe. So, Since I know that not many of you know about this series, lets start by telling you about the cartoon and the characters.

The title role i.e. American Dad, is Stan Smith, who works for the CIA and is constantly on the alert for terrorist activity. Stan will go to extremes to protect his beloved America from harm; as evidenced by the terror-alert color code on his fridge, and his frequent knee-jerk reaction of shooting holes in the toaster whenever the toast pops up. In addition to Stan's wife and teenage children, the Smith household has two rather unconventional members. There's Roger, the sarcastic space alien who rescued Stan from Area 51 who deeply resents the fact that he's not allowed to leave the house, and therefore, has been reduced to drinking wine and smoking cigarettes, and Klaus, a lascivious, German-speaking goldfish; the result of a CIA experiment gone seriously wrong where the CIA tried to give a fish a German man's brain. Stan's son is a dorky teenager who tries to be cool. And his teenage daughter, Hayley is currently attending community college. Despite her father's best efforts she has turned out to be a left-wing liberal. She is very unlike all the other older teenage sisters in that she cares for the environment.(as opposed to Eliza`s sister in "the wild thornberrys") His wife has had a past life of sex and drugs.
Got to make another post to tell you about the episode itself...
