Superbowl and American Dad

Did anyone see American Dad after the superbowl tonight? I was a big skeptic. I mean Family Guy was already so good, I didn't see the point in making a new one, looking very similar to Family Guy. If you didn't see it, it's about an american family. The dad is a CIA agent, total republican, who has a color-coded terror-alert dial magent on his fridge. His bimbo-ish trophy wife, his geeky son and his liberal daughter. Then there's a talking alien (seems to be gay) and a talking german goldfish. The last two are almost direct replacements for the talking dog and baby in the Family Guy.

But, I liked it! The satire is much more direct. They actually depict and satirize Bush and the republicans. Besides the fact that it's funny and elegantly done, I think it's a good thing to have. Specially on fox !! The alien is so clearly gay, but the fish is simply delightful. It's almost exactly what I imagine my Gombe to be, maybe slightly less obnoxious.

The superbowl itself, meh. So many turnovers, not highest calibre stuff. But the half-time show, wow, mustav felt great being there. No boobs this year though. That was a shame.
