American Dad! Santa, Schmanta (2005– ) watch online HD

Derivative, lame, low-bar stuff. The best thing about American Dad is that, even amid all the bedlam, the stories follow a certain inventive logic. The conventionality and laziness of this one is perfectly summed up by Snot's bland closing remark about tradition: it seemed less to do with whatever happened beforehand and more about teaching the audience something about Jewish American culture. Oh what fun it is. Overall the whole episode felt somehow patronizing, the musical numbers were space-fillers, and there weren't even the big laughs to make up for any of it. One star for Steve's voice when he's coyly chiding Snot for hiding things about himself.

There were a few laughs in this one, but it was essentially, the safe, but mildly edgy shots at religion and the December holidays you would expect.

I am glad we got a special episode here before the show's return in a few weeks, but this was not American Dad-level humor. And bringing back the deranged Santa was a big mistake.
