American Dad!

American Dad

Fox, Feb. 6

STARRING The voices of Seth MacFarlane, Wendy Schaal, Scott Grimes, Rachael MacFarlane

WHAT IT'S ABOUT Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane's new animated clan features a gun-loving, right-wing CIA-agent father, his outspoken liberal daughter, a German talking fish, and a freeloading alien rescued from Area 51 who sounds eerily like Paul Lynde.

WHAT TO EXPECT Consider this raunchy 'toon to be Alias meets All in the Family, with stories like the gung ho dad pairing the family vacation with an assassination assignment, or quarantining his Iranian-American neighbors in their own backyard under the Patriot Act. Sorry, red staters: While producers say all parties will be mocked, Bush bashing may take priority. ''If people needed to laugh at what's been going on for the last four years,'' says cocreator Mike Barker, ''they need to laugh even more now.''
