American Dad - Season 1 is a collection of the first 13 episodes from the first season of American Dad, from the pilot up to the two parter, "Stan of Arabia".
Yep, you heard me right; the boxset entitled Season 1 doesn't even contain all the episodes from the first season! To me it just smacks of trying to get more money out of the fans of this show. The next DVD has the second half of season one and the first half of season two, which is a bit strange really, why release them like that? Why not just release the whole season as one DVD set, like everyone else does?
"American Dad" is about Stan Smith, a CIA agent, and his family; his wife Francine, their two children, Hayley and Steve, their pet goldfish Klaus, and Roger, an alien.
Episodes to look out for include "Con Heir", in which, at Stan's father's funeral, he reveals that he wasn't his real father, his real father is a master spy; "Stan of Arabia", where Stan is reassigned to Saudi Arabia and eventually renounces his American citizenship after he finds out in the male dominated world of Saudi Arabia, he can have all he ever wanted, and "Homeland Insecurity", where new neighbours move in next door to Stan. He finds out that they are Iranian, and so immediately suspects them as terrorists. He begins watching them constantly and becomes more and more paranoid. Not only a good episode, but also shows the prejudices a lot of people have about people from certain countries.
Extras include a behind the scenes featurette, deleted scenes animatics and TV spots. Pretty standard fare really, not a huge amount on offer but at least they did make some effort. Overall a good DVD set, although it is let down by not actually having all the first episodes from the first season, but that doesn't take away from what is a very good show, four stars!
