黑暗梦魇，有增无减。务必认清，敌人的真面目……

　　American Dad! is an American animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Smiths, a dysfunctional family consisting of parents Stan and Francine and their children, budding adolescent Steve and new-age hippie Hayley. Other main characters include Hayley's stoner husband Jeff Fischer; the family's pet, Klaus, a man in a fish's body; and Roger, an alien who Stan has rescued from government capture and harbors in the family's attic.
　　
　　The show is set in the fictional town of Langley Falls, Virginia in the Washington, D.C. metro area, which is a gesture of parody of the actual town of Langley, Virginia, home to the headquarters of the CIA. Unlike its sister show Family Guy, American Dad! does not use cutaway gags, but rather focuses more on situational humor and non sequiturs.
　　
　　Since its debut on February 6, 2005, the show has broadcast 136 episodes and began airing season 8 on September 30, 2012.[1]
　　
　　American Dad! has been nominated for awards, most prominently two Primetime Emmy Awards and two Annie Awards.[2] American Dad! has also received mixed reviews, mirroring the reception of Family Guy, and has been criticized by watchdog groups such as the Parents Television Council.[3] It holds a TV-14 rating for suggestive dialogue (D), offensive language (L), moderate to strong sexual content (S), and graphic violence (V).

　　故事发生在一片神奇的魔法大陆上，身为最后一名人类的12岁少年Finn，和他最好的朋友——一条老狗Jake，在这片大陆上展开了探险之旅。
　　本动画每集均有独立的故事，出场的人物分别有泡泡糖公主、冰霸王、吸血鬼女王玛瑟琳以及肿泡泡公主等等。每一集里，Finn和Jake这一对活宝都会踏上光怪陆离的奇幻世界，遇上形形色色的人物，这一路上有危险，也有欢乐。
　　《探险活宝》原是实验动画短片，于网络上播出后引起热烈反响，后被美国卡通频道选中并发展为完整长度的系列动画。

　　Rick（瑞克）和Morty（莫蒂）讲述了地球C-137S1-06之后转移到的时空（可在S2-02Jerry寄托所中Rick填的表格中看到）之前的时空由于Rick的药水使除了Morty一家的人类都变成了柯南伯格式的怪物）的Rick和Morty的冒险故事，但有时也 有Rick和Summer，Morty和Jerry这样的冒险组合。剧情设计和制作手法都极为出彩。
