Is it worth starting?
This is 22 seasons deep — English animation, leaning comedy. There's a lot of it, which is either the appeal or the problem depending on your week.

- 7.0/10 from 2,445 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
Story
The series focuses on an eccentric motley crew that is the Smith family and their three housemates: Father, husband, and breadwinner Stan Smith; his better half housewife, Francine Smith; their college-aged daughter, Hayley Smith; and their high-school-aged son, Steve Smith. Outside of the Smith family, there are three additional main characters, including Hayley's boyfriend turned husband, Jeff Fischer; the family's man-in-a-goldfish-body pet, Klaus; and most notably the family's zany alien, Roger, who is "full of masquerades, brazenness, and shocking antics."
