Do you think American Dad's days are numbered?

[Semaj]

This may not be as bad as it sounds. American Dad seems to be slipping into autopilot, and we don't want it to start filling in thin plots with Conway Twitty.

[Shaunbadia]

I was going to mention this before but was sure it couldn't be right...Bob's Burgers is only getting 9 episodes this season...so I guess FOX wanted a threesome and decided to start fucking with American Dad AND Bob's Burgers at the same time.

[The Angry Animated Comedy Nerd]

It's the end of an era... I believe.. Simpsons will end after the next two seasons.. and everything else animated on Fox will go with it... execpt for the new Saturday night block.

That's why they are doing Axe Cop... from mainstream Sunday domination........ to cheapo saturday cartoon late-night block.

But yeah, Axe Cop might rule.

And we have the great Flintstones reboot project Seth just shelved for now... lol.

Futurama and V Bros. will be all that's left in two years... assuming they keep going.

Who knows what is happening with Bob. Originally there were only supposed to be 9 episodes in the season, but after Allen Gregory was cancelled they ordered an additional 13 (making it a 22 episode season). Now everybody is throwing around the 9 episode figure again.

[Flimpson Tide]

Maybe they'll air an additional 4 in the fall to make it a 13-episode season, then order a third season and continue with another 13ish episodes mid-season, calling it season 3?

All I can say is a 9-episode "season" would be gay as can be, and there is no way in hell I would buy a 9-episode season set.

Come on, now.

Based on the current state of American Dad, maybe a cancellation's for the best. The question is, what will the state of animated sitcoms be in a few years time? The Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad can't have much shelf life left.

There hasn't been a bad episode yet for me this season so I'd defiantly pick it up....though they would need to release season one here in the UK first

EDIT: One of the preiviews for the season finale....looks like they've just copied Fuad from FG...uh oh, this ain't a good sign.


For those who don't remember him....here's Fuad

TIME TO KICK IT!


And hey, Cleveland's already been renewed for a 4th season, odds are it'll get a 5th.

On that note, that confirmation sorta makes this thread redundant so....feel free to close it.

[Bella Drape 'er]

Not necessarily.

FOX aren't exactly fond of Cleveland, it doesn't perform the best of numbers and I'm sure if the Flintstones reboot gets back into development again, I'm sure FOX wouldn't hesitate to call it quits after Cleveland's 4th.

Saying that, I would say it's a fairly safe bet.

I'll bet The Cleveland Show is getting a fourth season because FOX wants enough episodes for syndication.

Similar but the actual jokes are different... anyway, the American Dad is better if just for the 'best friend' line

[Flimpson Tide]

Bob’s Burgers‘ third season pickup was announced in January,

Huh. I didn't know we already had a third season in the works for the last several months. Everyone was freaking about the show getting canceled on the last page of the thread.

The third season hasn't been announced yet. If it is renewed, it will most likely be announced next week at upfronts, with all the other network renewals and cancellations.

The poster could have been confused as the rest of season two won't air until the 2012-2013 TV season - that'll probably be airing in the Fall or maybe next year.

I suppose...and if FOX are keen to get rid of it, it would explain why the DVD sets are ACTUAL FULL SEASONS unlike the FG and AD sets that are like 13-15 episodes worth per box set.

It's a shame if they do can it really, because the show really churned out some good stuff this season.

EDIT: Kara Vallow has confirmed via Twitter that American Dad has been picked up for an 8th writing season.

So this means we'll be getting new episodes up until at least 2014.

Officially confirmed overnight by Fox that Bob has been picked up for a 3rd season.
