Scored from 145 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2000s (1,360 peers).
Summary
An animated sitcom following Stan Smith, a flag-waving CIA agent, as he navigates work and home life in suburban Virginia. His household includes his cheerful wife Francine, liberal college-age daughter Hayley, awkward teenage son Steve, a snarky talking goldfish named Klaus, and Roger, a flamboyant alien who hides in the attic and adopts wild personas. Episodes mix political satire with absurd domestic misadventures.
Released in 2005, American Dad! is an animation and comedy television series. Its comedy subtype is Satire.
145 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 160 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 64 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s television series — 1,360 of them.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where American Dad! lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2000s (1,360 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 145.
