I think season 2 was even better than season 1 so I wouldnt doubt if it gets nominated again.Originally Posted by awefullspellare
And not only is the casting perfect, but never have I seen guest stars so well used. From Julia Louis Dreyfuss, Zach Braff, to Ben Stiller etc... all hilarious characters.
I do believe that is part of the show's problem, the running story. Although Howard does a good job refreshing the story, I think a lot of people want to wait for the DVD's to watch season 2. I can't really blame them but it does hurt the ratings. Unlike most comedies which are pretty easy to get into no matter what point they are at. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the reasons I love the show, but I think FOX needs to do something about it. For instance, show repeats throughout the season and advertise them well. They never seem able to keep anything solid on Friday nights and I know they were showing a few repeats on Friday a while ago.
Also I think some are a bit intimidated by it from people who call it a smart comedy. Now while it may be the most clever show on TV, I wouldnt label it as smart comedy. It's low class humor done in a high class fashion, that's what I say. People just don't get the jokes if they don't know the backstory or at least some of it. That's where you get the people who think the show is terrible, they only see the obvious potty humor and the really clever stuff just misses because they don't know.
It's going to be a damn shame if it's cancelled, espicially for a show like Amercian Dad. American Dad pilot was really terrible. The characters were expected and weak. And the humor just didn't hit.
