American Dad!

After Stan comes home from another dangerous mission, he finds that his family has decked the halls with boughs of holly and donned themselves with gay apparel, but just not to his satisfaction. He demands a grander Christmas starting with the search of a bigger and better tree in the forest. When his family has had enough, Stan powers on by himself, finds the perfect tree and meets an untimely end. While in Limbo, he has to fight for a second chance at life and battle the forces of good and evil to save his family. I thought this was a superb Christmas episode of American Dad. In my opinion, this episode was better than the previous Christmas episode. The parts I liked/laughed were Stan searching for a tree and then he died, Stan reacting about the lawyer, the flashback in the videos, Stan getting a Heaven gun, and Roger calling Michelle a hooker (at the end). My score is little lower because there isn't that much parts that entertains me.Overall a perfect Christmas AD episode. 9/10

Man, when it comes to the Christmas episodes of this show... they are just nothing but a mess and it makes me want to puke but this Christmas was highly enjoyable and hilarious. There is probably one more Christmas episode from "American Dad" that I do probably enjoy but it might be in Season 2 or Season 1... don't remember. Anyways, this episode and maybe another Christmas episode which I can't remember are the only Christmas episodes that actually have an excellent storyline, a lot of funny parts, and very good pacing. That parts that did make me laugh very hard was Stan getting upset at Steve in his dream (which I believe is in the trial scene), the whole trial scene was pretty hilarious, Stan's line "Get it, I said halo instead of hello... oh screw you, that's funny", God playing with dinosaur toys, God telling Stan "Don't ever point a gun at me again", the very ending of the episode, and some more. Overall, this is quite possibly the greatest Christmas episode of "American Dad" that I've ever seen and it actually doesn't suck unlike the other Christmas episodes so I'm glad to have at least one excellent Christmas episode of this show to watch. 10/10

10 out of 10

What I liked: "Roger, Christmas is not a time for singing!" "Francine, just because the snow is the same color as our fridge, doesn't mean you know how to work it." "I don't get why Francine's mad at me for always being right. I don't get mad at her for always being wrong." "There's a flying hooker watching you hug. Go away hooker!" Roger's "Why's everybody dying?" Stan being upset because of Steve in his dream.



A lot of laughs, most found in the first half, but the second half was good in terms of plot, so overall this was a winner episode that gets an A+ as a grade from me.

One of the best things about this episode was someone who played a similar role on another adult cartoon series, and seems to have played a bit off of said previous role. Seeing as Michelle is voiced by Paget Brewster (Birdgirl from Harvey Birdman), this makes for some inadvertant (?) allusions. Her being a lawyer and eventually getting wings are obvious. At one point she says a line akin to, "Real lawyers don't need wings!" which is unintentionally even funnier if you are in the know, so to say. No complaints about the episode itself, Am Dad is usually quite good, as a total package, it's often even better than the same night's Simpsons and Family Guy episodes.

Classic!...



I have watched American Dad from the very beginning. I am a faithful viewer, only because I have always found it "entertaining," but not usually all that funny. Usually every episode had something to make me snort out loud once or twice, but that was it.



Then I watched THIS episode - not a fan of Xmas themed shows, but this is definately going to be a classic. I laughed so hard all the way through this one. I PVR'd it and have watched it 4 times now and still laugh like an idiot.



Like Family Guy, this show has probably weeded out many prudes and the overly sensitive, and now possibly many strict Christians without a sense of humour. I am a religious person myself, but am not insecure in my religion that I can't laugh at others interpretations. For a show that I would normally rate a 7 on average, I gave this episode a PERFECT 10. Hilarious, entertaining, and even has a moral to it :-)

What a great episode, surely one of the greatest episodes of American Dad that I have ever seen.

Stan iksn't happy with the christmas decorations, so he marced his family out in the middle of nowhere on a cold night. While trying to cut down the perfect tree, it fell on him and he died. He found out he was in lombo , but Stan want to return to his family. He was saddled wikth a second rate lawyer. why you ask? she doesn't have any wings. the person who argue against him is cute and has wings. I can't reavel what happens in the last 10 minutes for those who want to watch the rerun next year, but at the end Stan was back with his family.
