FOX obnovio American Dad

Jedna od tri animirane komedije Setha MacFarlanea, American Dad, upravo je dobila zeleno svjetlo za novu sezonu.

FOX je naručio sedmu sezonu animirane serije, koja je od nove godine prebačena na ne baš zahvalan termin u 19.30h nedjeljom, izvan standardnog “animation domination” bloka od 20-22h, stoga je među fanovima rasla sumnja da se mreža namjerava riješiti serije. Rupu u regularnom slotu Dada trenutno popunjava novopridošlica Bob’s Burgers, koji se nakon odličnog starta nije proslavio gledanošću posljednjih nekoliko epizoda, stoga ovo uranjeno zeleno svjetlo za American Dad vjerojatno ne ide u korist Burgersima i njihovoj budućnosti.

Sedma sezona Dada imat će standardne 22 epizode, no s obzirom na to da je obnova došla poprilično kasno (jer proces animacije traje puno duže nego snimanje igrane serije), ali i zato što FOX sprema dvije nove animirane serije za iduću sezonu, u sezoni 2011/2012 bit će emitiran samo dio tih epizoda, dok će ostatak biti emitiran u sezoni 2012/2013.

GOOD MORNING, U.S.A.! IT’S GONNA BE A WONDERFUL DAY!

“American Dad” RENEWED FOR SEVENTH TERM

Emmy-nominated Animation Domination staple American Dad has been renewed for a seventh season, bringing the series through the 2012-2013 season, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.

“This is fantastic news,” said Roger the Alien. “But you do realize I’m not real, right?”

American Dad follows the lives of ultra-conservative, staunch GOP supporter and CIA agent STAN SMITH (Seth MacFarlane) and his eccentric family that includes FRANCINE (Wendy Schaal), his ditzy-but-lovable wife; HAYLEY (Rachael MacFarlane), his 18-year-old left-wing hippie daughter; STEVE (Scott Grimes), his geeky, 14-year-old son; ROGER (Seth MacFarlane), the selfish and sarcastic cross-dressing space alien; and KLAUS (Dee Bradley Baker), an attention-starved goldfish. The fan-favorite series airs Sundays (7:30-8:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
Expect lots of hijinks from the Smiths this spring! Roger attempts to make Steve a “cool kid” by letting him drive other kids around in a tractor, but the plan quickly backfires. Meanwhile, Francine gets a job at Stan’s office, but she cramps his style; and Roger starts dressing like a teenage girl and quickly seduces Steve’s best friend, SNOT (guest voice Curtis Armstrong). Upcoming guest voices for this season include Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Anjelica Huston, Elisabeth Shue, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Burt Reynolds and Grammy Award winner Cee-Lo Green.
