Roger Smith (seasons 8-present)

Roger Smith, also known as Roger the Alien or just known by his first name Roger, is the deuteragonist and off and on again antagonist of the adult animated comedy series American Dad!.

Sadly, he has been flanderized since season 8.

Why He Sucks Now

 * 1) He went from a funny comic relief to a violently murderous sociopath.
 * 2) He has done a lot of bad things since season 8.
 * 3) * He was at his absolute worst in "Love, AD Style" because he shot Hayley and tried to skin her alive. Oh, and to add insult to injury, that was the season 8 premiere, meaning his flanderization is a "cranked up to 11 right away" one!
 * 4) * He tried to steal Steve's girlfriend in "Introducing The Naughty Stewardess".
 * 5) * In "Naked to the Limit, One More Time", he got Jeff abducted by aliens and sent to space.
 * 6) * In "The Two Hundred", he caused the end of the world.
 * 7) * He got Klaus thrown in jail all because he broke up with him in "Kloger".
 * 8) * In "Blagsnarst, A Love Story", he jumped out of the car and let it drive off a cliff while his girlfriend was inside.
 * 9) Almost all of Roger's redeeming qualities have been stripped from him.
 * 10) He rarely gets any consequences for his actions.
 * 11) He also became an incredibly overused character.
 * 12) He's become just as psycopathic as Peter Griffin, however his psycophatic tendancies are even worse than him.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was much more likeable in the first eight seasons of the show.
 * 2) His personas are still great.
 * 3) He still shows his care for his family occasionally, especially with Stan.
 * 4) * In fact, his chemistry with Steve is still awesome and believable, similar to Brian and Stewie.
 * 5) * Also, his relationship with his son Rogu is very sweet and heartwarming.
 * 6) He has slightly improved since season 13, since he has some more tolerable moments because the show became good again. Though that’s not saying much, since many of his flaws still remain.

Reception
While seasons 1-7 Roger was well received, Roger has started to receive heavy criticism nowadays because of his sociopathic behaviour to the point where many fans consider him as one of (if not) the worst character on American Dad. Many people say that he is worse than Peter Griffin.
