Re: American Dad RIPS OFF ALF Plot!

I don't watch American Dad (or Family Guy, for that matter),but I'm sure they aren't trying to specifically rip off ALF. The thing is, the storyline that you claim they stole is has a fairly common premise that is used quite often in comedy shows; the rascal has to reform himself to prove to his ...

Re: American Dad RIPS OFF ALF Plot!

that really would not surprise if that was the case since he as been pulling tv shows out of his ass lately with American dad and the Cleveland show. if he really cared about his characters he would stick with just with one show and work on developing those characters more. you can easily tell that ...

Re: American Dad RIPS OFF ALF Plot!

Yeah, I'd hardly call Seth a genius. I enjoy his programs to a point but they're filled with unlikeable characters that, while amusing in 30 minute snippets, are not characters one can really care about. Alf is a character I care about. Seth's characters are just something to laugh at while they're ...

Re: American Dad RIPS OFF ALF Plot!

really, this is nothing new. pretty much the whole premise of roger the alien living with the smiths is a ripoff from ALF, so no surprise that they would take similar plots from the episodes. yeah, it may seem like a ripoff, but what can you do? it's not like seth is going to get sued for using a ...

Re: American Dad RIPS OFF ALF Plot!

I believe you guys have a good point, though I believe 'shreddinghead' is raging a bit, but it's hard to deny the similarities. Besides it's really Seth's fault, he opened himself to this kind of critiquing.

Have you guys ever heard of Jimmy Corrigan? Also know as the 'smartest kid on earth'? And ...

Of course it does, but if you're an 'American Dad' fanboy than the only thing you'd be able to see is the comedic genius of 'Seth MacFarlane' as he continues to create the same show, over and over and over again.

The point is the plot was completely ripped off from ALF.

American Dad RIPS OFF ALF Plot!

Hi everyone!

I've been a huge fan of ALF for a very long time, and it was thanks to ALF that I realized just how shameless Seth MacFarlane is! I knew well in advance about the borrowed jokes from 'The Simpsons', and to be honest it didn't really bother me. I'm not really sure why because I've been ...
