A six minute cut from the pilot episode of "American Dad" has been leaked and is being torrented below:

Basically it's derived from Family Guy in terms of animation and style, but so far I don't find it nearly as funny. The whole talking fish and alien thing are basically Stewie and Brian, and the daughter seems like the annoying Meg character of the show entirely. I dunno, I guess there were a couple of funny moments, but overall Seth should have stretched his wings a little further and created something much different if anything at all. This will debut after the Super Bowl on Fox with a new Simpsons episode (like how Family Guy debuted).

Family Guy will return with new episodes in June 2005

i think it's fox, they are the ones distributing the dvds and are impressed with the sales, so i think it'll be on fox again

Fox still owns the rights but it's gonna be on the Cartoon Network.

Just so happens I attended "Family Guy Live" last night at the Montreal Comedy Fest, they did a live reading of " When you wish upon a Weinstein." and fielded questions. Seth also showed American Dad and ya, everyone noticed the similarities.

He brought American dad up when he thought Family Guy was dead. They'll both run but ya among the things people mentioned.

Same family dynamics. Zany dad, hot mom, 1 son, 1 daughter, 1 alien (Stewie =) ) and a talking pet with who wants to sleep with mom.

The dad is funny in so far as he's the ultimate paranoid uber patriotic government agent. I think it'll be funny, just not expecting to like it as much as FG.

It premieres after the Superbowl.
