American Dad!

American Dad (2005-) is a tv show created by Seth Macfarlane, who also created Family Guy and The Cleveland Show.

Stan Smith
Main article: Stan Smith (American Dad!)*Stan Smith (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) - The main character of American Dad!: a CIA agent and staunch conservative. Stan is Francine's husband and Hayley and Steve's father.

[edit] Francine Smith
Main article: Francine Smith*Francine Smith (voiced by Wendy Schaal) - Stan's wife and mother of Steve and Hayley. Francine is an enabler, usually going along with the actions of the family, though she occasionally serves as the voice of reason. Despite her ditzy personality, she demonstrates a keen wild streak and a flirty nature.

[edit] Hayley Fischer
Main article: Hayley Smith (American Dad!)*Hayley Dreamsmasher Fischer (née Smith) (voiced by Rachael MacFarlane) - Stan and Francine's daughter. She is eighteen and attends a community college. She is portrayed as ultra-liberal, which often brings her into conflict with her father.

[edit] Steve Smith
Main article: Steve Smith (American Dad!)*Steven Anita “Steve” Smith (voiced by Scott Grimes) - Stan and Francine's fourteen-year-old son. He is a geek, which Stan does not like. He has also come into conflict with Stan, who wants Steve to follow in his footsteps.

[edit] Roger
Main article: Roger (American Dad!)*Roger (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) - Roger is an alien who lives in the Smith family's attic. Stan feels he "owes Roger [his] life" after being saved by the alien at Area 51 four years prior to the show beginning. Roger is a hedonistic alcoholic who takes on make believe personas and makes the Smith family's life extremely difficult with his vices, but since exposing Roger as an alien would endanger Stan and the rest of the family, those personas are Roger's only way of communicating with the outside world. He also has a strong addiction to junk food and can also hold long-standing grudges.

[edit] Klaus Heissler
Main article: Klaus Heissler*Klaus Heissler (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - Klaus was once an East German Olympic ski-jumper until his mind was transferred into the body of a goldfish during the 1986 Winter Olympics by the CIA to prevent him from winning the gold medal, leaving him permanently trapped in the goldfish's body. Despite this, Klaus still hasn't come to terms with what happened and is very bitter. He stays in a fishbowl in the Smiths's home and has something of an obsessive crush on Francine.

[edit] Jeff Fischer

 * Jeff Fischer (voiced by Jeff Fischer) - Jeff Fischer is introduced as Hayley's loser, stoner, hippie boyfriend. He is an unemployed high school drop out, and is frequently naive or stupid, irritating other characters. His mother abandoned him early on, giving birth to him in his van, within which he lives ("Stan Knows Best") until Season 6. His relationship with his father Henry is poor, as his father also views him as a failure. Throughout the series, Hayley repeatedly dumps him for being needy, clingy and overly agreeable, leaving Jeff crushed until their inevitable reconciliations, though Jeff also dumps Hayley once in the episode "Pulling Double Booty". However, he marries Hayley in the show's one-hundredth episode after swindling Stan out of $50,000. He then moves into the house with Hayley in the episode "There Will Be Bad Blood". In "For Whom the Sleigh Bell Tolls", Stan ends up accepting Jeff when Jeff demonstrates his loyalty toward Hayley by saving Stan's life despite disliking him. Jeff is based on Seth MacFarlane's friend of the same name, who also voices him.

American Dad was renewed for a seventh season.
