Stan puts down liberal social programs because he thinks they are a waste of money and gives Francine a hard time for lending a helping hand at the local homeless shelter. When Stan develops a nasty addiction and needs help, he suddenly has a change of heart. After receiving a hefty bonus from work, Stan buys extravagant gadgets while Francine pleads for her dream kiosk. Upset about his lack of support, Francine opens a muffin shop without his approval and gives Stan a taste of life without a housewife.

Stanford Leonard 'Stan' Smith (born November 26, 1958) is the main protagonist of the adult animatedsitcomAmerican Dad!. He is voiced by the series' co-creator and executive producer, Seth MacFarlane.

Stan is the patriarch of the Smith family. As the family's breadwinner, he works for the Central Intelligence Agency. Although he once held the position of a case officer at the CIA, he is now a weapons expert for the agency.[1] Stan often makes the mistake of applying the same extreme measures suited and used for his job in his personal life and with his family.

Stan is portrayed as drastic, endangering, rash, insensitive, inconsiderate, dog-eat-dog, and very masculine. In the series he is emphasized as a conservativeRepublican. Stan's exaggeratedly large chin has been described satirically as a 'Jay Leno jaw'.[2] He usually wears a blue suit with a lapel pin that is a simplified version of the U.S. flag, consisting of three red and white stripes and a blue square.[3]

Stan is married to Francine Smith. He is the father of Hayley and Steve Smith. In one episode, it is revealed that he may not be the biological father of Hayley. In 'Cock of the Sleepwalk', Stan adopted an unnamed little girl. Also living under Stan's roof are three housemates: Roger, an alien; Klaus, the family's man-in-a-fish-body pet;[4] and Jeff Fischer, who is Hayley's boyfriend turned husband.

Stan's mother is named Betty, and his father is a jewel thief (as revealed in the episode 'Con Heir') named Jack Smith.

Stan is believed to have been born around 1958, as he is 47 years old in the show, which debuted in 2005. However, his age has been contradicted twice: “Da Flippity Flop”, an episode made in 2013, reveals he was born in 1963, putting his age at 50 instead, and “May the Best Stan Win”, an episode made in 2010, reveals he was born in 1962, putting his age at 48.

In “Bullocks To Stan”, Stan is revealed to be 2 years and 10 months older than Francine, whose birthday is revealed to be September 26, putting his birthday around November 26. This makes him a Sagittarius.

Personality[edit]

Stan Smith is the exaggeratedly masculine husband of Francine and father of Steve and Hayley. Though Hayley may not be Stan's biological daughter—Francine was revealed to have cheated on Stan at her bachelorette party in the episode 'The Kidney Stays in the Picture'—Stan still regards her as such and refused to learn the results of a DNA test.[5] As the Smith family's breadwinner, Stan is an agent for the CIA. Tending to take extreme measures with no regard for others nor potentially disastrous consequences, Stan is portrayed as insanely drastic; endangering; rash; dog-eat-dog; and both inconsiderate and insensitive of others.[6][7] Stan's mentality is of a staunchly conservativeRepublican and self-proclaimed American patriot. His conservatism is expressed ludicrously with him often coming off as severely intolerant, self-abnegating, and wrongheaded.[8] All the same however, Stan has numerous alternate ways of taking drastic measures beyond politics. As examples—in the episode 'Dope & Faith' when Stan found out one of his friends was an atheist, he tried getting him to pray by blowing up his home, spreading the bird flu at his restaurant, brainwashing his wife into thinking she was a lesbian, and taking his kids away; in the episode 'I Can't Stan You', Stan evicted his entire neighborhood and his own family just for overhearing some of his neighbors gossiping about him behind his back; in the episode 'Four Little Words', Stan framed his wife as a murderer all so as not to hear her say the words 'I told you so'; etc.

Troublesome sides and extreme-measure taking[edit]

Insanely drastic and rashly so, Stan at times acts on his first impulses which typically result in extreme measures.[9] Often, his extreme measures are of a conspicuously destructive, disastrous, offensive, or life-threatening nature to others.[9] Very selfish and inconsiderate, Stan never stops to think about the feelings, needs, or welfare of others, even in circumstances where others obviously could be or have been negatively impacted. Moreover, Stan often proves to be insensitive, completely unfazed when fully conscious of the distresses, displeasure and sufferings brought upon and felt by others including his very own family.

Masculinity[edit]

Stan is also shown to be very virile and masculine. He often bears out his chest, stands up rigidly straight, and possesses a deep, thick voice quality. Moreover, he has expressed macho beliefs. For example, he has expressed opposition to showing emotion, associating it with being a woman. He once told Steve, 'Son, feelings are what women have. They come from their ovaries.'

Troublesome/redeeming qualities[edit]

Though Stan typically tries to effect a masculine image and repress his feelings, his emotions, sensitivity, and endearing side still manifest themselves from time to time. For example, on several occasions, it has been revealed that even as an adult Stan has desperately desired the fatherly love and attention that he never got as a child, such as in the episode 'American Stepdad' when Roger became his stepfather.

At the same time, however, his incredibly drastic, dog-eat-dog, and inconsiderate qualities tend to show through in combination with his sensitive and redeeming qualities. For example, Hayley once told Stan, 'Dad, I've never seen this side of you. It's so sweet.' Stan playfully replied, 'Well, if you tell anybody I'll kill you.' The two laughed together for a moment before Stan suddenly took a serious, browbeating manner and added, 'I'm serious, I will kill you. I will reach into your chest, pull out your beating heart and eat it. All of it, every last bit!' He concluded by affectionately stating, 'Well, sweet dreams, angel.' As another example, in the episode 'Oedipal Panties', Stan went to extremes to keep his mother, Betty, from finding a romantic partner for fear he would lose her. In the episode, Stan was revealed to have captured and detained all of Betty's former lovers to an uncharted island.

Original persona[edit]

In the beginning of the series, it was heavily emphasized that Stan was a highly Conservative Republican, bordering on right-wing authoritarianism. He idolized then United States PresidentGeorge W. Bush and former President Ronald Reagan.Combined with these traits, he was also portrayed as patriotic and Christian. Stan regularly caused havoc and disorder with his bigotry, Conservatism, patriotism, chauvinism, xenophobia, and paranoia.[10] MacFarlane has likened Stan's original character to Archie Bunker from All in the Family.[11][12]

Under his initial persona, he also opposed homosexuality and gay marriage for a time. He changed his views on homosexuality, however, in the episode 'Lincoln Lover', once becoming associated with the Log Cabin Republicans. Stan's stance on homosexuality further softened in the episode 'Surro-Gate' when Francine acted as a surrogate mother for gay couple Greg and Terry's baby. At the end of this episode, Stan realized what a loving family Greg and Terry were.

After the first few seasons and as the series progressed, Stan was portrayed as growing out of these particular traits and they were largely dropped from his character. Branching out, he later began displaying his wrongheadedness and penchant for taking to extremes in numerous other ways beyond ultra right-wing politics.[13] He has also exhibited instances of gullibility (like his son Steve) such as when he believed he was taking cold medicine when in fact he was smoking 'crack' as Roger nonchalantly points out. Hayley has also tricked him into buying mirrored sunglasses that wound up getting him kidnapped by a group of radicals. In another episode, Roger states to Stan that he has to give his champion racehorse 'a full release', which Stan ultimately does so. Stan has also once drunk Roger's urine due to the alien telling him it was a fancy beer. The episode 'Irregarding Steve' reveals that Stan believes that popcorn doesn't pop above sea level. In 'Love, AD Style' when Francine points out if they added another 'C' before the 'K' in the acronym of the new car Stan wants to buy he says he doesn't know what she's talking about, clearly not realizing what the new acronym would spell out. In 'Stanny Tendergrass' Stan thought he was able to afford a membership at Mr. Vanderhill's (Roger's) country club after working there thirty years at the cost of seven grand, completely unaware of the vast price inflation cost (two hundred grand) due to natural compound interests and stock marketing incomings until Steve told him that Haley wasn’t his daughter

Occupation[edit]

Stan's history can be traced back to 1987 when he was 25, he joined the army and quickly rose to become an Airborne Ranger, and eventually being selected to join the army's elite anti-terrorist group, Delta Force. After leaving the army he was again elected to undergo extensive special forces training to join the CIA's ultra secretive Special Activities division, specifically the Special Operations Group. When he was wounded on a top secret mission inside North Korea, Stan returned home to a desk job. Stan is now an official officer of the CIA. Stan has shown expertise and knowledge in hand-to-hand combat, small arms, covert surveillance methods, torture, the ability to fly aircraft and the handling of assault weapons. Even though he has been arrested several times on several felony charges, such as animal cruelty, child pornography (though this was a wrongful accusation), attempted murder, drug trafficking, possession and use of crack cocaine (he almost flees to South America), transporting infected cattle to be slaughtered for food, impersonating a U.S. Marshal, and identity theft, he retains his official position.

Though it is well known he works for the CIA very little is actually known about what exactly he does, and as a result of this ambiguity Stan's job in any given episode tends to be conducive of whatever CIA skill set is convenient for a given episode's plot. At various times in the series he has been shown to work as a CIA analyst, an agency bureaucrat, a field agent, and a special forces operative; additionally, he has held a number of different titles during his time with the CIA, including (but not limited to) 'Deputy-Deputy Director of the CIA (Bullocks to Stan)' and 'Deputy Under-Director of Missing Foreign Agents (Red October Sky)'. Usually he is seen working in a small cork-walled cubicle with a few of his buddies: Jackson, Sanders, Dick Reynolds, and others. Smith's assumption of these different roles may indicate that he works as a sort of troubleshooter; taking on different responsibilities as required. However, since assuming the role of Deputy Deputy Director, his duties do not appear to have changed.

In the episode 'Chimdale', it is revealed that Stan Smith has been bald since college and wears a wig (however, this episode contradicts several past episodes, including 'Frannie 911', in which Roger scalped Stan while role playing as an American Indian and 'Choosy Wives Choose Smith', in which Stan's hair grew after spending months on a deserted island). He drives a black Ford Explorer but has also been seen driving a black Chrysler 300C and owns a DeLorean despite not having seen or even knowing about the movie Back to the Future. Later in the series he buys a red C6 Chevrolet Corvette to deal with the fact that he could possibly be a grandfather which he continues to drive when not in the Explorer. Stan is also known to have an unexplained fear of seagulls, first mentioned by Francine in 'American Dream Factory', although he got over it in 'Choosy Wives Choose Smith'.

Despite his traditional values, he has been married to two other women. In Saudi Arabia, Stan married an Arab woman and named her 'Thundercat' because he could not pronounce her name, though Stan married her mainly as a servant. At one point, Francine divorced Stan so that he could have pointless sex, and he met and married a woman named Joanna, but went back to Francine, though Stan reports that he did consummate the marriage. Both Stan and Francine admit that each married the other for what Stan describes as selfish reasons. That is, that Stan admits that he married Francine because she was attractive. Francine, for her part, says that she wants someone to take care of her financially and both go so far as to admit this during their vow renewal ceremony to a room full of people. In the episode 'Stan's Food Restaurant', it is revealed that Stan is originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Hobbies[edit]

Stan also enjoys a number of hobbies. Chief among these is collecting Franklin Mint Plates as well as a number of creative outlets such as designing and making themed stuffed bears, fly-tying, gun cleaning, wood burning, figure skating, and writing right-wing children's literature. He also enjoys reading books about the things he is doing at that very moment (i.e. he was reading a book called 'Reading While Waiting',[citation needed] as he waited for someone). Other examples include 'How to Do a Spit Take', 'How to Furrow Your Brow', 'How to Look Chastened', 'How to Read With One Hand', and 'Anticipating Doorbells'.

Alternate versions[edit]

In 'May the Best Stan Win' Stan is revealed to have signed up for the CIA's cybernetics program and intends for his body to be cryogenically frozen until the CIA develops the technology needed to turn him into an cyborg. Eventually, Stan's cybornetically enhanced self finds a way to travel back 1,000 years to the present because he missed Francine and wishes to spend time with her, however this eventually sparks friction between the present Stan and the cyborg Stan, leading to a fight in which the current Stan successfully defeats his future self.

In 'The Longest Distance Relationship' one possible version of the future is shown when Jeff and Ghost Sinbad emerge from a wormhole some sixty years in the future. In this version of the future Stan is shown to have migrated into a Gorilla body due to his belief that an ape uprising will being occurring. As the episode draws to a close Stan's prediction proves true, but when Stan moves to side with the apes he is unexpectedly killed by them.

In 'Dreaming of a White Porsche Christmas' it is revealed that the reason that Stan's family is so dysfunctional is due to his Stan's failure to appreciate what he has, which resulted in his marriage to Francine, his geeky son, his liberal daughter, and his adoption of a liberal version of Roger. Initially this was supposed to be a temporary setup, but the Angel assigned to Stan's case died, and it took his Christmas wish for the situation to resolve itself. Stan is then returned to what what suppose to be his ideal family: a conservative wife named Mary, an athletic son, a conservative and mild manner daughter named Ruth, and a version of Roger who does not partake in disguises, drinking, or drug use and holds a single legitimate job as an optometrist named Gerald. Despite being described as Stan's 'ideal' family Stan rejects this version of his wife, his children, and Roger, and goes to great lengths to get back to his original, dysfunctional family, which he succeeds in doing.

In 'A Star is Reborn' it is established that Stan is the reincarnation of a deceased movie star named Lenard. At the time Lenard was having an affair with Gloria Delmar, an alternate version of Francine. After the affair came to light both were killed by June Rosewood, Lenard's wife at the time. After rediscovering Lenard's reincarnation in Stan in the present, June welcomed Stan to her house and showed him the old movies he'd made in his past life. When Stan rejects her for Francine, June once again attempts to kill them both, only to end up dying when Stan and Francine turn the tables on her.

List of American Dad! episodes

The fifth season of American Dad! originally aired on the Fox network from September 28, 2008, to May 17, 2009. It consisted of twenty episodes and was released as two DVD box sets and in syndication. American Dad! follows the dysfunctional Smith family—father Stan, mother Francine, daughter Hayley, son Steve, the pet fish Klaus, and extraterrestrial alien Roger, all of whom reside in their hometown of Langley Falls, Virginia.

Weitzman and Barker served as the season's showrunners.

Season 5 satirized various political and social topics, including incest, the coming out aspect of homosexuality, and appeal to fearpropaganda. The season was met with generally positive reception from critics. Some went on to criticize the show for the level of inconsistency. However, the overall development of the show during this season was praised by critics, saying that 'the show has grown into its own over the past seasons.' The season premiere was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour) in 2009.

The Volume 4 DVD box set was released in Region 1 on April 28, 2009, Region 2 on April 20, 2009, and Region 4 on November 18, 2009. Six of the 21 episodes are included in the Volume 4 DVD box set.

Production[edit]

Amanda Seyfried (left) and J. K. Simmons (right) were some of several actors that made guest appearances on the show.

During Season 4, episodes of American Dad! and its sister show, Family Guy, were delayed from regular broadcast due to the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike. Seth MacFarlane, the creator of the series, publicly sided with the Writers Guild, and fully participated in the strike and other events pertaining to the issue.[1] The official production of American Dad! started to dwindle as of February 2008, with a delay in production becoming imminent through much of March and April. The strike ended on February 12, 2008; and the series resumed airing regularly within a few months.[2]

Production for Season 5 began in 2008, during the airing of the Season 4. The season was executive produced by series regulars David Zuckerman, Kenny Schwartz, Rick Wiener, Richard Appel, Matt Weitzman, Mike Barker, and series creator Seth MacFarlane. The showrunners for the season were Weitzman and Barker.[3] As production began Matt Weitzman, Jim Bernstein, Chris and Matt McKenna, Brian Boyle, Erik Sommers, Laura McCreary, Jonathan Fener, Erik Durbin, David Zuckerman and Kenny Schwartz all stayed on from the previous season. Both Matt Fusfeld and Alex Cuthbertson received their first writing credit for the series.[4][5] Directors Pam Cooke, Josh Aoshima, Tim Parsons, Rodney Clouden, Albert Calleros, Joe Daniello, and Bob Bowen all stayed with the show from the previous season. David Hemingson left the series, and went on to co-direct for other television shows, notably How I Met Your Mother, and went on to create a short-lived television series, entitled The Deep End.[6] Michael Shipley and Dan Vebber also left at the end of the third production season.

The main cast consisted of Seth MacFarlane (Stan Smith, Roger, Greg Corbin, among others), Wendy Schaal (Francine Smith), Rachael MacFarlane (Hayley Smith, among others), Scott Grimes (Steve Smith) and Dee Bradley Baker (Klaus Heissler, among others).[7] Several new characters were created and introduced in Season 5. The character of Sidney—a persona of Roger who escapes to start a life of his own—was introduced in the episode 'The One That Got Away'.[8] He was voiced by the series creator Seth MacFarlane. Avery Bullock's wife, Mariam, who was kidnapped and held hostage by terrorists for three years, was also introduced and voiced by Jean Smart.[9] Amy, one of Lisa Silver's friends and a frequent bully of Steve, was introduced during this season. Amanda Seyfried provided the voice for the character.[10]J.K. Simmons provided the voice of Mr. McCreary, the founder and chairman of a local Bible print shop,[11] and Reginald the Koala, another 'volunteer' from the CIA's secret brain-swap program. He is voiced by Donald Fullilove until midway through next season, where writer Erik Durbin provides the voice. Other guest stars who made multiple appearances as recurring characters from previous seasons were Patrick Stewart as Avery Bullock, Stan's boss at the CIA[12] and Mike Barker as Terry Bates, who briefly returned in the episode 'Daddy Queerest'.[13]

The opening sequence of the series was revamped. Instead of Stan picking up a newspaper with a different headline on it, there is now a recurring gag of Roger appearing in different disguises from under the dashboard. Stan's interaction with the family and his commute from his house to the CIA have also been modified.

Reception[edit]

American Dad doesn't entirely rely on easily interchangeable jokes like Family Guy. And, because of this, the end result is a much more formulated and comprehensible political commentary. However, American Dad never fully reaches the satirical sharpness of superior comedic farces like South Park, The Daily Show or, most notably, The Colbert Report. And this may leave many viewers wanting.

R.L. Shaffer
IGN[14]

The season premiere for the fifth season of American Dad! received 6.89 million viewers upon its initial airing, the second highest viewed episode of the season.[15][16] The total viewership for the episode significantly increased from the fourth season premiere, which was viewed by 6.07 million viewers upon its original airing.[17] In the weeks following '1600 Candles', the total viewership ratings hovered right under 7 million. The fourth episode of the season, 'Choosy Wives Choose Smith', garnered the highest ratings of the season, having been watched by 7.09 million viewers.[18] This would be the highest rated American Dad! episode since the season four episode 'Tearjerker', as this episode received 8.62 million viewers upon its initial airing.[19] The ninth episode of the season, 'Stan Time', gained the lowest number of viewers of the season with 4.60 million viewers.[20] The average total viewership for the season per episode was 5.5 million viewers, and the season average for ratings in the 18–49 demographic per episode was a 2.9 rating.[21] The average rating increased by 20% from the previous season.[22] However, the average total viewership would decrease by 16% from the previous season.[22]

Reviews for the episodes, as well as the season as a whole, were met with mainly positive reception from critics. In his review for the season, Hunter Daniels of Collider gave it a mixed review. He opined: 'American Dad is not a great show. However, it's pretty funny on occasion. This set is about on par with the other seasons and might well be worth a purchase for hardcore fans and completeists. If you think you will like it, you will. If you're on the fence [...] it's probably only a rental.'[23] R.L. Shaffer of IGN said that 'American Dad comes from the weird and wicked mind of Seth MacFarlane, who brought us the irreverent and often puerile powerhouse Family Guy [...], and like the show[s], American Dad offers a supreme dose of silly mockery that's occasionally offensive [...] and outrageously wacky through-and-through.'[14] However, he criticized the show for having similar problem that he thought existed in Family Guy. Shaffer opined: 'American Dad suffers from many of the same problems as Family Guy. The show quite often stumbles into territory it's simply not mature enough to handle. And because the show already plays like Family Guy 2.0, the characters and settings aren't quite original enough to keep the material fresh.'[14] He gave the release a 6 out of 10, signifying a 'passable' score.[14]

Kevin Stanley of Cinema.com gave the season a very positive review, writing, 'Overall American Dad is consistently funny and amusing, it's certainly in my opinion, currently the best animated comedy and has been for some time. It is literally laugh-a-minute stuff, which can't be said for all TV shows, even the one's that do bill themselves as comedy. The moments of perfect pitch-black humour, that pop up every so often, are worth the cost of the boxset alone.'[24] From the selection of season four episode of the Volume Four DVD box set, he called '1600 Candles' and 'The One That Got Away' as the highlights.[24] Steve Heisler of The A.V. Club generally reacted positively to the majority of American Dad! episodes of the fifth season. He gave the highest grades to the episodes 'Delorean Story-an' and 'Choosy Wives Choose Smith', which was an 'A'.[25][26]

Awards and nominations[edit]
