Critic Reviews for American Dad!: Season 9
For now, it just feels like FOX is spinning its animated wheels.
It's hard for me to personally embrace an American Dad! episode that doesn't have more of Roger, but for this final season premiere, I think I can make an exception
Complaints aside, I still think this was a good, solid, entertaining story.
There is enough material in the first two acts to laugh at to tip the scales to success.
