American Dad!
Season 4
Attention, terrorists, pinkos, and hippies: your days are numbered! CIA Agent Stan Smith is back, stopping at nothing to make the world safe for right-wing democracy and provide for his outrageously dysfunctional extended family. Amid botched kidnappings and beefcake body doubles, Stan hosts a torturously funny CIA telethon; his wife, Francine, is reunited with her ex-fiance; and resident-alien Roger hosts a booze-soaked spring break that may just push favorite son Steve all the way through puberty. God bless American Dad!
