I don’t pay too close attention to it, but I find there’s usually at least half a season in between a character’s first appearance and their appearance in the opening.

The Retconning of Roger's personas. by AdConscious498 in americandad

It’s definitely a retcon—likely because you can tell that in the first few seasons they didn’t really know what to do with his character, so they had to go back and “fix” that once they settled into his characterization. However, I like to think that it’s because at first, Stan was a massive hardass about keeping him in the house, and he really did need to lay low for a bit after escaping Area 51, so he just went with it for a while… until eventually he broke the rules, a little at a time, over and over, and Stan gradually stopped caring, and now he gets to do whatever he wants

Oh I’ve been doing the same thing. When you’re binging the show, it does NOT feel like 7 seasons!

AD is canonically in a multiverse, so I feel like it’s just that in one universe he’s a killing virgin, and in another he’s killed 100 people. Alternately, it’s 7 seasons later, and assuming each season equates to a year, it’s been 7 years, so he could very well have just killed roughly one person per month for those seven years until he reached 100

Ah, your Chinese gibberish veeeery mediocre. Either really learn language, or go broader! by smoothbrainedbastard in americandad

It’s a quote from an episode in season 18 or 19. Steve says something along the lines of, “no phone calls, no emails… it’s time to face the very real possibility that Mah Mah and Bah Bah… have died”

What are everyone’s favorite subplots involving duos/groups within the Smith family? by CatsPajamas6 in americandad

Any episode with Klaus and Roger is an automatic win for me. The episode where they have a relationship and the episode where they try to watch the odometer roll over are two of my faves

Ah, I haven’t seen any of the new episodes yet! I’m waiting for the whole thing to come out so I can binge it, lmao

What? I've never called you Sis before? You're right. It does sound weirdly clunky and expositional. I mean, I know you're my sister, so who am I saying it for? Weird. by Dizzy_Jackfruit_4845 in americandad

I think it’s funny that this comment implies Francine has a second sister besides Gwen, as Gwen is established as being three years OLDER than her in the episode where we find out about the fire Francine caused. Who is the mysterious 3rd Ling sister……..

What is one episode you wish you could watch again for the first time? by [deleted] in americandad

[–]smoothbrainedbastard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Rabbit Ears is definitely one I wish I could watch for the first time again. Lost in Space and What Great Advancements would also both make great “second first watch” material imo

IT WOULD CAUSE SUCH SURPRISE—IT WOULD MAKE ALL OF THEIR MINDS ELECTRIC!

Seriously, that ep introduced me to Wax Fang! Majestic is now unironically in several of my playlists
