American Dad! Returns on TBS with New Episodes; Brady Bunch HGTV Series Underway

American Dad!

American Dad! returns to TBS on Monday, February 11, 2019 at 10pm ET/ PT. American Dad! centers on super patriotic CIA agent Stan Smith (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) and the misadventures of his unconventional family in Langley Falls, VA. Stan applies the same drastic measures used in his job at the CIA to his home life, where Stan's blissfully unaware wife, Francine (Wendy Schaal), has an unfaltering loyalty that makes her blind to his unabashed arrogance. His left-wing activist daughter Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane), however, doesn’t let him off so easily – and knows just how to push her father's buttons. Hayley's brother is the geeky-yet-confident Steve (Scott Grimes), a kid who spends his time playing video games and obsessing about the opposite sex.

The Smith cabinet is rounded out by two rather unconventional members: Roger (MacFarlane), a sassy, sarcastic and routinely inappropriate space alien, and Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker), an attention-starved goldfish with the brain of a German Olympic skier. The irreverent, satirical, award-winning animated comedy is created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman, executive-produced by co-showrunner Brian Boyle along with creators MacFarlane and Weitzman. The series premiered on the Fox broadcasting network in 2005 before moving to TBS in 2014. The top 10 cable comedy continues to be a key performer for the network, with the first half of the season reaching 12 million viewers across linear, VOD and TBD digital platforms.


A Very Brady Renovation

Construction is underway at The Brady Bunch house and HGTV's digital platforms now offer an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at every step of the renovation. The network has launched its "Brady Renovation Central" at HGTV.com/Brady where fans can find in-depth articles, exciting video content, photo galleries, show updates and more. The site also offers a first look at The Brady Bunch home renovation in a digital video series, Building Brady. New installments will be uploaded weekly—as well as to the A Very Brady Renovation Facebook Watch page -- and will offer a glimpse of the full series which premieres in 2019. The digital series will document the special moments between the Brady TV siblings Barry Williams (Greg), Maureen McCormick (Marcia), Christopher Knight (Peter), Eve Plumb (Jan), Mike Lookinland (Bobby) and Susan Olsen (Cindy) and HGTV stars Jonathan and Drew Scott (Property Brothers), Mina Starsiak and Karen E Laine (Good Bones), siblings Leanne and Steve Ford (Restored by the Fords), Jasmine Roth (Hidden Potential) and Lara Spencer (Flea Market Flip). In addition to Building Brady, more digital series will launch throughout the year leading up to the television premiere.

Brady fans are encouraged to like, heart and follow A Very Brady Renovation on social media during the world-famous home's overhaul. On the A Very Brady Renovation Facebook Watch page, HGTV will share far out 70s-inspired decorating tips and entertaining videos. The dedicated Brady Bunch Instagram account, @verybradyrenovation, will spotlight talent takeovers, bonus clips, bloopers, boomerangs and extra groovy goodies from the cutting room floor.
