It's a show with a weird sense of humor but if you like adult cartoons your definitely like American Dad. The humor is dark and the plots are out there but it's endlessly funny and entertaining. The show is about the Smith family with Stan, the father working for the CIA. The family often get involved in bizzare adventures, often do things that are morally questionable and regularly abuse Stan's connection to the CIA. This show is different from other Seth McFarland shows like The Cleveland Show and most notably Family Guy. There's no cut away gags, meta humor or breaking the fourth wall. It's more similar to South Park where the humor comes from what bizzare and twisted situation we can put our main characters in. Also the breakout star of the show is Roger, a selfish, sociopathic sexually fluid alien. The show is twisted but fun to watch and one of my favorite cartoons of all time!
