American Dad on Fox

 

In what might be a wildly unsurprising revelation, the May 18th episode of American Dad! (9:30p.m. ET) has earned the show its Worst TV Show of the Week slot for the second consecutive week.

 

In the third season finale, “Spring Break-up,” the Smith residence is transformed into a playground for the most hedonistic of MTV-gestated college traditions: Spring Break. With wife Francine away to help her ailing father, alien houseguest Roger welcomes busloads of college students to his debauched fiesta, distributing gift bags with “butt plugs” included.

 

Husband Stan Smith finds a cute college student Jessica, who becomes his “spring break buddy.” Despite flirting co-eds who offer “drunken, sloppy sex,” young teenage son Steve focuses his energies on losing his virginity to thinly-veiled MTV VJ Carmen “Selectra.”

 

Roger constructs elaborate alcoholic delivery systems, including a “lazy river of beer,” a “tunnel of booze” and a scepter filled with Chivas. The party features graphic scenes of Girls Gone Wild-inspired breast-flashing, strippers, and vomiting students.

 

When Francine returns, shocked to find what’s been happening, Stan leaves her, saying she no longer laughs at his lame jokes. Stan follows “spring break buddy” Jessica to Rutgers University, where without alcohol-induced frivolity, she no longer wants him around.

 

However, Stan has no need to question his actions, because Francine decides to apologize for not laughing at his lame jokes.

 

Meanwhile, young Steve manages to convince Carmen Selectra to take his virginity, but requests that she remove her breast implants. Though Carmen complies with his demand, the spring break stage collapses, killing her.  Roger dances around her corpse, declaring it the best spring break ever.

 

For its graphic sexual content and all-around debauchery, American Dad! deserves the title Worst TV Show of the Week.
