Family affair

9.0

By grifftrain, Dec 31, 2012

I loved this episode. It showed the true bond the smith family has with roger. Steve calls him his best friend. The family was truly hurt by roger "cheating" on them, but they love him and welcome him back. Of course roger messes up again, but the smiths try to get to the root of his problem. Just like a real family would. Roger episodes are usually funny, but this episode was exceptional. The klause subplot was ok, with him wanting to go to a concert, and the rest of the family not really hyped up for it. The wrap up to that was done well. All in all this episode was a home runmoreless

perfect

What I liked: Roger reading the blank piece of paper, pretending it was something he had written, the Smiths' realization that Roger is with another family, Roger meeting up with the Logan's, the family that abandoned him, amongst other things.

Roger is probably my favorite character, or at least he is up there, and I rarely am disappointed by his episodes. Luckily, this was no exception and I liked pretty much everything in it, and as such my final grade is going to be an A+. Just an all around perfect episode, i think, definitely up there as one of my favoritesmoreless

Roger has multiple families.

6.8

By thefanof, Oct 21, 2010

Roger is seeing another family. This is the Roger-centric episode I have been asking for.

It certainly was not great, but there were some truly funny lines (including a better Charlie Sheen reference than Family Guy made). You have to love the odd food references though from chicken to Cool Ranch Doritos. The slide show of him with other families, constantly riding the log flume was good though. The episode fell apart at the end with an odd encounter with his former family, and then a Koala Bear with the brain of a homeless man. Just a so-so effort from American Dad tonight.moreless

a funny roger episode.

8.0

By offline1234, Mar 21, 2009

ok.american dad season four episode family affair was a... good episode but not great. as again, the starter was great but as the episode goes on, it gets kind of lame. and the ending was especially bad. but the first few minutes of this episode was original and kinda funny.i think it is just the ending that receded me from getting this episode a 9 out of 10. not really an excellent episode but a cool roger episode. and some funny okes about roger s wigs as well ! a funny episode.

recommended, satisfying but not fantastic episode for season four.moreless
