Leave it to “American Dad!” to find humor in the most absurd situations. This Monday, the animated sitcom returns with “The Sickness,” an episode that sees the Smith family dealing with a mysterious ailment that has befallen their resident alien, Rogu. What exactly is wrong with him? Is it contagious? And more importantly, can Stan resist the urge to apply his usual CIA-style tactics to the situation?
This is the 19th episode of the show’s remarkable 20th season, and if history is any indication, things are about to get weird. “American Dad!” has always thrived on its extreme storylines, often pushing the boundaries of good taste and common sense. But beneath the layers of satire and often crude humor, there’s a certain twisted affection for this dysfunctional family.
Tune in to TBS Monday night at 10:00 PM ET to see how the Smiths handle “The Sickness,” because, honestly, who knows what they’ll come up with.
