The show

The series focuses on an eccentric motley crew that is the Smith family and their three housemates: Father, husband, and breadwinner Stan Smith; his better half housewife, Francine Smith; their college-aged daughter, Hayley Smith; and their high-school-aged son, Steve Smith. Outside of the Smith family, there are three additional main characters, including Hayley's boyfriend turned husband, Jeff Fischer; the family's man-in-a-goldfish-body pet, Klaus; and most notably the family's zany alien, Roger, who is "full of masquerades, brazenness, and shocking antics."

The Real Review

People still love this animated sitcom for its reliably sharp humor and visual style, with the alien Roger and characters like Klaus and Steve frequently stealing the show. The main complaint centers on the stories, which can feel hit-or-miss or overly familiar. While Seth MacFarlane's vocal work as Stan and Roger is constantly noted, many viewers are critical of the show's current creative direction under its original creators, feeling it has lost some of its earlier spark.
