About American Dad

The show centers on the Smith family and the various obstacles Stan,
an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency, encounters to ensure
that his country remains safe including the obstacles he faces with
his immediate family. The Smith family lives in the fictional community
of "Langley Falls, Virginia" in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
The town name is a composite of Langley, Virginia and Great Falls, Virginia,
both of which are located in Fairfax County. Langley is the real-life location
of CIA headquarters.

Smith Family

Stan Smith
Has worked for the CIA since the 1980s as a "weapons expert" and is always on the
alert for terrorist activity. He seems to be the "Deputy Deputy Director," although
the official announcement of his promotion was not shown to viewers. Since then his
work has included the interrogation of possible terrorists.

Francine Smith
The sweet, stereotypical trophy housewife of Stan Smith. She keeps her own opinions and
party-hearty personality mostly to herself, for the sake of her husband's ultra-conservative
views. She rarely has any friends.

Hayley Smith
The ultra-liberal daughter of Stan and Francine. She is eighteen and goes to
community college. She partakes in recreational marijuana, usually with her on-again,
off again boyfriend, Jeff Fischer, and goes hiking with him. They are both vegetarians,
although Hayley appears to be forcing her beliefs onto Jeff.

Steve Smith
Geeky little brother of Hayley and son of Stan and Francine. Roger seems to be his best friend.

Klaus the Talking Fish
The result of the CIA swapping an East German Olympic ski-jumper's brainwith that
of a goldfish in order to prevent him from winning the gold medal. This libidinous fish
manifests some sadistic tendencies and lusts after Francine.

Roger the Alien
The sarcastic, surely, lonely, and effeminate space alien who saved Stan's life in Area 51.
He spends his time eating (mainly junk foods), smoking, and drinking. Roger is an avid film, television,
and celebrity buff.
