- TriviaOriginally, the character of Klaus was going to be a native of France named François. WhenDee Bradley Bakerauditioned, he told the producers that his French accent wasn't very good, and that he would read the lines in a German accent instead. Producers liked Baker's performance so much, they decided to make Klaus German.
- GoofsEarly episodes had Roger gradually learn to use disguises to go out into the world; but in later seasons we see that he had actually been using disguises for decades before he met the Smiths.
- Quotes
Roger the Alien:[after a hallucinogenic meal]I just don't have the words for it. Schmooblydong. Is that a word?
- Crazy creditsThe Credits end with a Security Guard from Fuzzy Door Productions waving and saying "Bye, have a beautiful time!"
- Alternate versionsUp until the '08-'09 season, the opening credits featured a shot of Stan looking at a newspaper headline, which would be a joke headline relating to recent events. Episodes shown on Adult Swim have the headlines blanked out, leaving Stan looking at just white space. The credit sequence for new episodes for '08 - '09 eliminate this sequence altogether.

Featured review
Ahead of its time...
I love this show. It's such a relief to see a show like "American Dad," especially on Fox. It can't be helped that some people are too unconscious to understand the desperately needed, hilarious criticism that it offers. It's "Sullivan's Travels" meets "Dr. Strangelove," rolled up into an animated series. Yeah, it's probably too smart for the masses, but we have to start somewhere. If it's marketed like "The Family Guy," during DVD release, then hopefully it will later be recognized for its absolute brilliance. Speaking of brilliance, airing the first episode immediately after the Super Bowl was unquestionably the most impeccably timed programming in the history of television. Did I mention that I love this show? That I need this show for sustenance?
