Stan is of course the manly, athletic, and tough type, and Steve is the scrawny, timid, and weak nerd. One of the most touched upon relationships in American Dad (and most sitcoms, really) is the one between our central father and son: Stan and Steve Smith, who couldn’t be more opposite from each other if they tried. Now for realsies this time, let’s kick off this list: Honorable Mentions: “One Little Word”, “Tearjerker”, “Family Affair”, “Roy Rogers McFreeley”, and “Merlot Down Dirty Shame” Since I’m an indecisive motherfucker (as always), here’s first some honorable mentions that killed me not to include on the list, so I feel I had to mention in some form. Which, by the way, is a move I actually find to be completely fine: maybe the cable channel will give AD the love that Fox never did. But all that said, these are my definitive choices for the 10 best episodes of American Dad which, starting tonight, you can now find airing new episodes every Monday night on TBS. So many, in fact, that I bet I could make a completely separate list that includes none of the below 10 choices and feel totally okay with the list as well. But look, I REALLY mean it this time American Dad is one of my favorite shows on television right now, and the incredibly under-appreciated comedic gem has a bevy of fantastic episodes to choice from. At this point, I know it’s pretty much standard practice for me to begin one of these lists complaining about how hard it was for me to make said list.
