What's On Tonight (Sunday): Daddy's home

American Dad!

Welcome, welcome welcome! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, February 22!

Our Top Pick tonight is American Dad! (Fox, 9 p.m. / Hulu, Monday). Because you can't kill these now-legacy animated shows, American Dad! returns to Fox, the network that axed it back in 2014. It also begins its 22nd season. I guess there are still people who find it funny.

Elsewhere, Alan Cumming loves hosting awards season, global sportsballs wraps, Anderson Cooper exits 60 MinutesDark Winds seeks the missing, Scream plays Squares, Mike Wolfe Picks history, silent film Calls the HeartFamily Guy is addicted to PSLs, the Knight determines his future, and Vanished is found.
