FOX has ordered up a new batch of American Dad episodes for the 2008-09 season, according to a statement released by FOX today.

I'm happy to see the series return, though I'm not surprised it did. It has been getting great ratings in all the right demographics, and I think its quality has improved considerably throughout this last season. When it began, it seemed a bit too much like Family Guy (both series were created by Seth MacFarlane), but over time I think American Dad has slowly developed a voice all its own, with more emphasis on plot rather than the "anything goes" cartoon style of Family Guy. It's easy to compare the two shows because the character designs are similar, but I think that's where the similarities end.

So it turns out we were half right last week. Though Sanjaya and Antonella inexplicably stayed on for another round, we totally called AJ and Alaina getting booted off the show.

As for this week ... drumroll, please ... Antonella and Haley are the two getting cut tonight, according to AOL users who took the American Idol Top 24 Ranking Poll. As one would imagine, Melinda is in the lead among the girls.

Now for the guys: Sanjaya is definitely getting the axe, according to poll results. And it's too close to call between Phil and Jared, but one of them will not be making the Top 12. Blake and Chris Sligh should breathe easy -- those two are leading the pack.

It's not too late to throw your support behind your favorite contestant. Rank you favorite guy or girl and tune in tonight for the results.
