What Season 6 of American Dad!

The sixth season expands the show's world. It no longer all takes place within the walls of the Smith house, and supporting characters and increasingly bizarre storylines emerge. Stan keeps trying to restore order in Langley Falls while carrying out his CIA missions. His political clashes with Hayley and Roger's eccentricities remain, but the episodes take the family into very different territory. Stan seeks to make up for the childhood he never had, Hayley gets involved in charitable causes, and Roger gets into all kinds of trouble. Steve, meanwhile, finds himself caught up in situations he didn't expect.
