Socialist Bernie Sanders traveled to Hollywood for several fundraisers, including a small-dollar event for hundreds at the Avalon nightclub, where Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane endorsed Sanders for President. MacFarlane said that he was particularly impressed by a response that Sanders gave at Tuesday night’s debate. Asked what was the country’s greatest national security threat, Sanders answered climate change: I wanna tell you the moment when, for me, Bernie Sanders won last night’s debate. The question was asked: What is the greatest national security threat to the United States?...Senator Sanders was the only candidate on that stage who gave the...

Tonight's episode of "American Dad" features a drinking, out-of-control President Bush.

Peter Demers says growing a business is tough enough “without being trampled over by a media giant.” Demers publishes the AmericanDad.com Web magazine out of a small office in the South End. The site, described as “an online resource for guys with kids” has offered parenting tips, advice on academics, ideas for hobbies and activities for children and other resources for dads since August 2003. It’s a small operation. The site gets about 1,800 to 2,000 visits a day. Demers says AmericanDad is trying to create a brand and community around fatherhood, and has ramped up marketing efforts recently to...

When The Simpsons and Family Guy become repetitive, it's ok, because, well, they've earned it. They make continuity flubs, and that's ok too. American Dad hasn't earned that yet, so when they've got an episode devoted to Stan and his son Steve finding common ground a week after they had one, it doesn't sit well. When Stan references the pleasures of porn twice in one episode a week after they spent an episode singing the evils of it, that feels a little off too. American Dad has a lot of potential, but it is certainly not living up to much...

This year's Super Bowl halftime show may have been crafted to avoid scandal, but the programming Fox is airing after the big game might raise a few hackles. And this time, Tom Brady is actually involved. Mel Gibson might want to change the channel after the Patriots-Eagles showdown tonight, because Fox has awarded the plum post-Super Bowl slot to an episode of ``The Simpsons'' that spoofs his ``The Passion of the Christ.'' If that's not enough to steam Gibson and the religious right, the network follows up with a sneak preview of the left-leaning animated satire ``American Dad.'' Unfortunately, both...

AMERICAN DAD. From the creator of "Family Guy," a new animated comedy on Fox that's reminiscent of, well, "Family Guy." Sneak preview Sunday after the Super Bowl (approximately 10:30 p.m.) on WNYW/5. The Fox programmers apparently assume that all of America's impressionable tykes and easily scandalized adults will be snugly in their beds by the time 10:30 rolls around Sunday night. That's the only explanation I can think of for their using the Super Bowl as a launchpad for "American Dad," a new cartoon series that's getting a sneak preview after the game and a special, football-oriented episode of "The...
