What Season 17 of American Dad!

Season 17 of American Dad! keeps its usual starting point. Stan Smith, a CIA agent and staunch Republican, tries to restore order in his home in Langley Falls, where he lives with Francine, Steve, Hayley and Roger, an alcoholic alien who has moved into the house. Political arguments with his daughter remain the order of the day. Conflicts come from several fronts: a secret past that resurfaces, an exam Steve can't get past, the possible deportation of Klaus, or Roger's dream of opening a male strip club. The writers lean more on supporting characters and unusual character pairings, which gives the series a fresh feel.
