It was written by series creators Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker, and Matt Weitzman, and directed by Ron Hughart. The pilot introduces the Smith family, father Stan, mother Francine, daughter Hayley, son Steve, pet goldfish Klaus, and alien Roger. It guest stars Carmen Electra, Chris Cox, and Natasha Melnick. Plot During breakfast Steve announces that he plans to ask out Lisa Silver the head cheerleader, and Francine puts Roger on a diet, fearing that he may be getting fat. Steve is rejected by Silver but on the way home notices a girl attracted to a man with a dog, he therefore decides to ask his parents for one. Stan, however, gets him a 19-year-old dog (133 dog years old), thinking it has character (because it lived during Ronald Reagan's time as president). Later that night Stan accidentally kills it thinking it was an intruder. At the funeral, Hayley chides Stan for it because conservatives oppose gun control, but Stan replies by trying and failing to fart. |
