Fox Broadcasting has ordered a pilot presentation of the tentatively titled "American Dad," a half-hour toon laffer in the works from "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane and veteran "Guy" scribes Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman. Skein will be produced by 20th Century Fox TV, the studio behind "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill."
If greenlit "American Dad" could launch as early as fall 2004.
It will serve up a 21st century toon take on "All in the Family," focusing on a clan consisting of a right-leaning CIA agent and his wife, their two kids (including a liberal daughter), a housebound alien named Roger and a French-speaking goldfish.
"The dynamic is very much 'All in the Family,' with a left-wing daughter who's constantly clashing with her father," MacFarlane said. "It's a great time to be doing a show like this, because it's such a politically charged period that's ripe for satire."
