Thanks to Backseat Sandbar for the heads-up on these videos of My Morning Jacket on American Dad. I missed the episode, but it looks like this is the kind of exposure that a lot of bands dream of. Granted, MMJ are already hugely popular with a cartoon’s major audiences — children and stoners — but [...]
Celebrity appearances on "The Simpsons" are hardly unusual (last night's episode featured a drop-in from Jonah Hill), but the Seth MacFarlane-birthed animated shows ("Family Guy," "The Cleveland Show" and "American Dad") don't tend to have a ton of cameos. However, last night's episode of "American Dad" was built almost entirely around one of the most...
Filed under: News , Video , Television As Spinner previously reported , My Morning Jacket made its animated television debut on FOX's ' American Dad .' Airing on Sunday night, the indie folk-rock band did more than just a three-second cameo. The show featured 'American Dad' Stan Smith fighting his daughter's admiration for the band. However, after hearing frontman Jim James ' falsetto, Stan ends up...
It was an evening of odd characters wandering into the lives of our favorite Fox animated characters, of new mentors and crazy friends. It was also an evening of half-hearted social messages, occasional holiday references and assorted speeches about someone getting their life back on track. Also, two of the shows had a gag about someone getting stuck underneath a pool cover, though, to be fair, when...

As we mentioned on Friday, the members of Furthur played a warm-up gig at the tiny 19 Broadway nightclub in Fairfax, CA. The ensemble tackled an array of Dead classics, a cover of The Beatles’ Hey Jude and the second-ever performance of a new song by Phil Lesh – Welcome to the Dance. Let’s take a quick look at some other stories of interest… U2 to headline Glastonbury, Muse...
It's episodes like this that make me think the Parents Television Council has a point.* I watched The Cleveland Show last night, and since it's from the same people who bring us Family Guy and American Dad , I know it's supposed to be edgy and daring and a very adult cartoon. But jeez, does it have to go this far? The plot had to do with Cleveland's dad falling for an older woman who came for Thanksgiving...
The "All Seth, All the Time" block of animation on FOX is getting stronger every week. I think this may have been the most wholly satisfying episode of The Cleveland Show we've had yet. The show finally knows what it is, the characters are settled in and established, and it even knows where it's going to derive its humor. There's a sweetness to The Cleveland Show that is more reminiscent...
I love holiday episodes. Whether it’s New Year's Eve on “Night Court” or Halloween on “The Real Ghostbusters.” One of my favorite “American Dad” episodes is the Christmas that Stan dies and crashes Jesus’ birthday (and the classic bit of...
Okay! I came in about halfway through The Cleveland Show’s “A Brown thanksgiving”, but what I saw was pretty good. Best moment: when Cleveland takes his dad Freight Train out on the porch to tell him that Auntie Mama is hiding a very special present. Family Guy’s “Jerome is the New Black” was probably the best one of the season so far. Best moments: Quagmire’s...

Louisville band My Morning Jacket, who I've written about in the past , appears in cartoon form on American Dad tonight. Ok, it isn't Family Guy, but it isn't The Cleveland Show either. Ugh, have you seen The Cleveland Show? I'd say Dane Cook wrote it, but it isn't douchey enough. The band recorded their voices over a year ago, and my friend Linda, who is married to one of the band members, writes...

Okay, I don’t usually enjoy American Dad too much but this episode was MADE of awesome. Highlights: What the HELL was up with Francine’s “beauty regimen”?!?!? Lifting a couch for ab work? OMG!
