20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About American Dad

3. There's A Season Misnumbering Fiasco

Fox

Throughout this article we've used the season numbering used by the likes of Wikipedia and IMDb, but it's far from a cut and dry issue. The first season of American Dad was only seven episodes long, but sometimes these are lumped in with the sixteen episodes of the conventional Season 2 as one group as they were all part of one production run.

This obviously throws off the numbering of other seasons when described on TV and on DVD, making it rather tricky to keep track of what episodes you have and haven't seen. This has only been complicated by the TBS revival; the first three episodes of Season 11 aired on Fox and the rest will be on the new channel. It all sounds pretty trivial, but as you'd expect on the internet some fans take it all pretty seriously.
