List of episodes

American Dad!'s eleventh season consisted of only 3 episodes. The season was broadcast on Fox, with two episodes airing September 14, 2014, and one episode on September 21, 2014. This was the last season to air on Fox; one month later, TBS premiered the twelfth season on October 20, 2014.

Guest voice actors for the show's 11th season include Jane Krakowski, Paul Reubens, and Kim Kardashian.

With a total of 3 episodes, this is the shortest season of the show to date.

Production[]

On July 16, 2013, it was announced that American Dad! had been cancelled by Fox. Soon after, cable network TBS would announce that it had picked up the show for a 15-episode 11th season, slated to premiere on October 20, 2014.[1][2][3]

The tenth season was initially to be the final one on Fox; however, on July 20, 2014, it was announced that Fox had three unaired episodes left for broadcast. Reports from Fox seemed to imply that these three episodes constituted a season of their own. Among multiple discrepant reports from TBS, one indicated that the three episodes were the beginning of the 11th season to resume on their network.[4]

Despite these episodes counting as the 11th season officially, the DVD release, as well as Netflix and Hulu, count this season as the first three episodes of season 12.
