"I'm not beloved," CIA Agent Stan Smith is shocked to discover after eavesdropping on his mocking neighbors in the episode, "I Can't Stan You." With all the resolve this "pig-headed" Red State poster boy and George "The Dub" Bush devotee can muster, he vows, "I will make these people like me." For those still on the fence about American Dad, this collection of 18 episodes spanning seasons two and three ought to do the trick. These characters may not be as indelible as the Family Guy clan, but these episodes rarely flag. If the outrageous storylines don't grab you, the rapid-fire random gags will. Like King of the Hill's Hank Hill , Stan (voiced by series co-creator Seth McFarlane) is oft confounded by a world seemingly gone mad. Unlike Hank, he is the voice of un-reason. In "Surro-Gate," Stan's dizzy wife, Francine (Wendy Schaal) agrees to be the surrogate for the Smith's gay neighbors, prompting the disapproving Stan to kidnap the infant, as well as the brood of a lesbian couple. In "Black Mystery Month," Stan reveals a Da Vinci Code-like conspiracy involving George Washington Carver that's plain nuts. In another episode, "Bush Comes to Dinner" for a night of drunken debauchery; some easy-target Bush-bashing redeemed when the President makes peace between Stan and his "lost cause" liberal daughter, Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane). Some of the best episodes focus more on the Smith family than politics. In "The Vacation Goo," Francine demands a real family getaway after discovering that all previous vacations were artificially created memories. In "Haylias," it is revealed that the unwitting Hayley is a brainwashed sleeper agent, who is activated by Stan to stop her from moving to France. "The 42-Year-Old Virgin" reveals another shocker: Trigger-happy Stan has never actually killed anyone! American Dad revels in guy humor. As Stan tells an unamused Hayley at one point, "You don't get a willy, you don't get the silly." American Dad brings the silly, but while the series is not above (or beneath) moth fart jokes, it is also smart enough to reference, say, Equus or the touching "When Somebody Loved Me" number from Toy Story 2. Stan's geeky son, Steve (Scott Grimes), bitchy alien Roger (MacFarlane), and talking fish Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker) are no Chris, Brian, or Stewie, but this set contains some of their more memorable outings. In "Frannie 911," it turns out that it actually would kill Roger to be nice. In "Surro-Gate," Klaus vows revenge on Roger and Stan following a waterslide prank. American Dad fans will salute this three-disc set's generous features, including a riotous Comic-Con cast table read of the episode, "The 42 Year-Old Virgin," nearly a half hour of deleted scenes (deleted jokes would be more accurate), unrated versions (with unbleeped profanities) of certain episodes, and freewheeling audio commentaries ("Hey, aren't we supposed to talk about the episode?" one participant tries to steer one digressive conversation). --Donald Liebenson

 American Dad Volume 3 December 1, 2008

This was purchased for a gift, so I don't feel like I can give an honest review. I'm sure the person I bought it for will enjoy it.
Good but not great October 23, 2008
MovieLover19 (New England)
With the cast back and Stan to protect us there is no room for mistake. Espcially for stan A weapons expert needs his space and in this season he has plenty of space to grow and give us lot of funny jokes. I expected this season to bang with new flavor and zaz, but was lacking.
I will admit that "The Goo" is my favorite episode and with great reason. The main reason the smith family goes on the vacaition is to get away from it all, but all Stan wants to do is get away from his family. Like Francine says "Nothing binds a family together like a dark and horrible secret." Watch the episode it is good. With this family done the thrid season leaves this writer hoping and wanting for more, more jokes and better comedy.
 Great comedy, but..... October 9, 2008

One of the best comedies on TV. The only reason I gave it a 3 star is because it is going to the GOD/Jesus jokes a little to soon. How is it that there are many religon's out there, but they only make fun of the Christians? It really bothers me! Stay away from GOD/Jesus there has to be more in this world to make fun of or joke around with.
Also, be very carefull this is the same guy who makes Family Guy and sells in Volumes NOT seasons. Look on Amazon and you will see you are not getting all the episodes!
Censored but still excellent entertainment August 30, 2008
Christopher Lewis (Lafayette, CO USA)
While I've always liked Family Guy, I've always loved American Dad. Intolerant people make for good comedy - you can thank All in the Family for that. Keeping with the 1/2 season per volume format, Volume 3 has more of the same red, white, and blue turds of entertainment that the first two volumes had except the dialog is censored. What the hell? These DVD's are not for kids so why the "bleeps?" It certainly detracts from the episodes especially when the other volumes weren't censored. That's my only knock against this set.
 Oh, Yes.... July 12, 2008

I watched this DVD while in bed. That night, I didn't wet the bed. Coincidence? You be the judge.
