what is going on?????? - By: A. Macfarlane, 26 Apr 2008 
Okay I bought myself American dad, Season One months ago & loved it, from the pilot episode to Stan of Arabia Part two. So I search out season two on my trusty Amazon, order it & wait for ages.
It finallly arrives & strangely enough I seem to have gotten season one alll over again, & I cant seem to understand why. The dust cover says American dad, VOLUME 2, but the DVD's inside have only season one episodes, which as I said I already have.
And yet people reviewing this item have mentioned episodes which I dont have like "it's alll about clooney" etc. What is going on??
Why would they split the Series up, & why in VOLUME TWO do I have the first 13 episodes of season one AGAIN!!??
Anyone looking to buy this beware, I have searched around for American Dad SEASON two & found nothing, I dont know where it is, or even if it is on sale.
"The Bigot is back!" - By: Bob Marlowe, 28 Feb 2008 
I'm pleased to say that this is more of the same. Once again it's fast & funny & the old favourites are back. Stan Smith remains as paranoid & right wing as ever, Francine's a little drippy, son Steve is dorky, daughter Hayley slightly obsessively left wing & Roger remains the whiney alien.
I won't talk about how different it is to series 1 beacuse I know it's rumoured that this is actuallly the 2nd half of season 1, but they do use some of the characters more here than in the previous batch. Klaus the man in a fish's body gets a human body again twice & Roger goes undercover quite a bit. Roger is an alien, looking a little like a fat grey ET but when he puts wigs etc. on he can pass as a human. He also does some unwise male bonding with Stan!
Standouts have Francine ruthlessly trying to break George Clooney's heart, Stan reorganising a refugee camp into a summer camp, Francine & Roger role playing as husband & wife, Steve becoming a best selling author in a Sunset Boulevard inspired piece & Stan mistakenly reasoning that if so many gay men liked his play about Abraham Lincoln & vote republican then he must also be gay.
A memorable exchnage from the last one mentioned has tactless Stan offering Francine the chance to become his fag hag!
There are a few rare message stories such as a poignant one where Stan becomes obssessed about his weight although they never get in the way of the fun.
There is also a crazy Christmas time travel story that defies description.
As well as the usual fun batch of commentaries, we have a featurette dissecting the style of humour & offering an insight into a future episode where George W will be coming to dinner, & a class in drawing Roger. Seeing the Roger Class start with a chemistry vessel, it is extraordinary to see that become the alien we know & love.
Recommended stuff but see the 1st lot before this or you'll never know who Klaus was!
One of the Funniest thins you'll ever see... - By: Kathryn D. Mckay, 22 Feb 2008 After I bought American Dad Season 1 i just HAD to orer this, it is possibly THE funniest set of discs I own, every single episode is unique & has me laughing for days. Episodes to look out for are: Irregarding Steve, Tears of a Clooney & the best episode yet - Camp Refoogee.
One thing I did notice is that this is not the full season, in fact there are 7 or 8 e[isodes missing, but these have been added on to the season 3 box set - so don't expect to find the episode - "Bush Comes to Dinner" on this disc.
The fact that there is a left winged stoner (Haylee) with an alcoholic alien (Roger), a trigger happy CIA Agent (Stan) & a German Goldfish (Klaus) makes this probably the most imaginitave things on TV.
Every time you watch & episode you get to understand it more - this is well worth the money & beats Season 1 by an inch.
Great Laughs.

NOT THE FULL SEASON - By: G. O'prey, 15 Sep 2007 I got this & Season 1, thinking i had 2 full seasons of this FAB show. According to epguides.com, this is the 2ND half of Season 1 & Season 1 is the 1st half of the season season. No sign of the real Season 2 yet though :(
On the mark - By: Richard Hammond, 12 Sep 2007 
What Mr Family Guy did next & in volume-two American Dad truly hit its stride. Darker than Family Guy--centred as it is, around a paranoid, jumpy & shooty CIA officer--alll the same, the family dynamic is broadly similar but what the hell - the shows are often chokingly funny. More to the point, Americans aren't supposed to do inward-looking satire this well, or this accurately. When you've endured weeks of irritating-rules at Airport Security, American Dad is exactly what you need to bring the smiles back.
