    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.

    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

    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

    From the first line in this episode I knew I would be laughing buckets and I was right. Roger, American Dads Stewie, is a fantastic charecter and dispite him being heavily exploited this episode shows thier is still so much more to explore and it only gets more funny!

    This episode also gets the highest compliment I can give a show, it's storyline was very original. I can't think of another show which has done a story like this.

    For some reason also the now predictable joke of Krauss being left out doesn't get boring his last appearance in the episode really made me chuckle. It could have been seen as a storyline that got missed out and was tied up badly, but it didn't, it worked well. Unlike Family Guy, American Dad is far better structured, they don't too much on and when we see a storyline inexplicably go off on another tangent thiers always a comical excuse, where as on Family Guy, it feels more like a bad cut copy and paste job.

    Ive scored this episode in comparison to other American Dad episodes. If it was the first American Dad Episode I'd seen it would get a 10.moreless
