American Dad!

When Stan becomes his boss' go-to guy, he feels like he can't say no to anything including outrageous personal requests. But when Francine gets roped into the annoying ordeal and her romantic Valentine's Day get-away is ruined, she lays down the law and forces Stan to say "NO".

7 out of 10

Stan keeps on doing things for Bullock, such as having Francine baby-sit his baby, have his wife stay with the Smiths', etc. Francine does not like this and wants Stan to learn to say 'no' to his boss. Will he be able to say that word?



Good episode. The first half at least. The second half lost my interest, but the first half was pretty good. Also, I was not fond of the ending. I thought it was OOC of Stan to not want to protect his boss. I know the point was so Stan could finally get the courage to say 'no', but… leaving him on the floor after being shot? Seemed weird. The rest of the episode, sans some parts in the second half, was really good though. Roger acting like a kid was humorous, like when he kicked Steve. B- or so is my final grade.

i seriously adored this episode. the writing was well set up. jokes were a little stale, but the setting was actually really original. 4 little words truly reached its full potential for american dad. this story about stan choosing his wife or his job promotion was really original for me. and the ending where his boss gets shot in the knee and stan just moves on was absolutely hillarious. all the groaning of the boss brought be happy tears to my eyes ! i watched this episode a couple of weeks ago and i think that they did not really use the fantastic characters steve and hayley.... but i might be wrong.

overall fantastic season 4 episode. a hge hit for me and a hope hit for all of you.

While Family Guy continues to flounder American Dad continues to put on great installments every week. I will say that this was a disappointing Roger episode, but everything else just about made up for it. From the executive dining hall, to the half polar bear half Hugh Grant just a plethora of laugh out loud moments.



Stan is just so hilarious and may very well be the best lead on any comedy right now.



It's great to see a cartoon that doesn't rely on cutaway gags to garner laughs. They interrupt the flow and when absent, as seen here, everything just works better.
