Some staffers over at Fox Animation have lately been a wee bit on edge. While Family Guy received a complete new-season order, American Dad has had to make do with a script go-ahead, but no official greenlight for Season #8. (This was as of last week.) ...
I was told this turn of events was due to a new top-kick at the Fox Network not wanting to commit too soon. I still don't know if American Dad has received a full go-ahead, but there's been this bit of news about the network's schedule:
... The animated series “Bob’s Burgers,” about a man, his family and their burger joint, debuts 8:30 p.m. Jan. 9 ... “The Cleveland Show” moves to 9:30 p.m. Jan. 9; “American Dad” moves to 7:30 p.m. Jan. 16 ...
If the fates are kind, Dad will get a full pickup on or before the 16th.

The AD crew got the news yesterday...the show's 7th season has been greenlit.
Great news! That should make for some happy Thanksgivings!
That is indeed good news.
Last week (when I was in the studio) they wre sweating bullets.
Perhaps with a new time slot AD will have a good chance of increasing its audience. It deserves it.
That a 7:30 time slot is a positive remains to be seen. The writing on this show is getting stronger but also more raunchy. A shakeup of the ever arrogant writers is badly needed.
American Dad is crap. Fox just keeps it on to make McFarlane happy.
that's for sure....what a missed opportunity...AD was originally meant to be political commentary...
