Guide Review - American Dad Volume Two DVD
One of the great things about this DVD is having commentary on all the episodes, from the writers, to the producers and (gasp!) the art directors and animators. It was great to go back and watch all eighteen episodes with the peanut gallery commenting.
Another thing about season two of American Dad is the strength behind the writing. I’m guessing after the first season's relative success they were able to garner better talent. All the episodes are strong with a few really standing out.
"Dungeons and Wagons" takes a page from the South Park episode "Good Times with Weapons" and has the graphic rendering of a role-playing game.
Another funny episode is "Lincoln Lover," in which Stan becomes an unwitting member of the Log Cabin Republicans. Cuervo-cosmo-tini anyone?
"Finances with Wolves" has Francine opening a muffin kiosk, and by a turn of events, Klaus the goldfish in the body of a black man.
"Ghost of Xmas" past is another winner with Stan going back in time to save his beloved Christmas.
A much more recognizable addition to the second season episodes isthe inclusion of a lesson learned at the end of every episode. Granted, Mr. Rogers it is not, but the morals are still there.
Overall a good box set worth the money. Tons of deleted scenes overflow from the special features. I’d just like to see what the terrorists have to say to Mr. Smith about that.
