...animated comedy with enough obscure pop-culture references and cringe-inducing ethnic jokes to give “Family Guy” a run for its money. MacFarlane provides the voices for both Peter Griffin, the loveable, overweight father-figure in the older series, and Stan Smith, the paranoid, flag-wavingly patriotic father (and, again, the inspiration for the show’s name) in “American Dad,” as well as a number of major supporting characters in both shows...
Italy's Craxi, whose governing coalition toppled two weeks ago, rolled up his country's flag "as if," says Adams, "he were none too certain about the future."

It will even deal with such relatively minor but deeply emotional matters as the longstanding ban on the flying of the Irish flag in the province. Such concessions to the Catholic minority are certain to prove unsettling to the Protestants, who are skeptical about British assurances that there will be no future change in the status of Northern Ireland unless a majority of the heavily Protestant population agrees...
