Ep 12. Roy Rogers McFreely

Roy Rogers McFreely is the twelfth episode of the fourth season of the American Dad animated sitcom. This episode features the return of Roy Rogers McFreely, a former housing commission director, who is now the Director of Public Works in Langley Falls. McFreely is determined to eliminate all forms of "softness" from the town, including the installation of bike lanes, park benches, and road signs.

Stan, the over-patriotic CIA agent and the protagonist of the show, is outraged by McFreely's merciless approach to public works. Stan attempts to confront McFreely about his concerns but instead finds himself drawn into an intense rivalry. He is determined to stop McFreely from enforcing his harsh new rules on the town.

Meanwhile, Roger, an alien, and the Smith family's pet goldfish, Klaus, decide to open up their own bar. However, they soon realize that running a bar is harder than they thought, and chaos ensues.

As Stan comes up with more and more plans to stop McFreely, the two men engage in a game of one-upmanship, competing to see who can outdo the other with increasingly ludicrous ideas for public works projects. The feud between Stan and McFreely quickly becomes the talk of the town, with residents taking sides and engaging in over-the-top displays of patriotism and support.

However, as the competition between Stan and McFreely reaches its climax, it soon becomes clear that the situation has spiraled out of control. Stan's attempts to defeat McFreely have resulted in a series of catastrophic events, including a fire at the local library and a massive traffic jam caused by a poorly-designed intersection.

As chaos reigns throughout Langley Falls, Stan is forced to confront the consequences of his actions and make amends before it's too late. The episode culminates in a tense showdown between Stan and McFreely, as they come face to face one last time in a battle for the soul of their town.

Overall, Roy Rogers McFreely is a classic episode of American Dad, featuring the show's trademark blend of humor, satire, and absurdity. Fans of the series will appreciate the return of the iconic McFreely character, while new viewers will find plenty to enjoy in the show's irreverent and often over-the-top humor.
