Television: American Dad

 Seth McFarlane's created another popular series known as "American Dad" who follows the misadventures of the C.I.A. agent Stan Smith and his family.
Seems Stan Smith had rescued an alien named "Roger" from the C.I.A. and bought it home to live with his family.

Roger as an individual is a somewhat effeminate alcoholic and substance abuser who has a panache from the overly dramatic. He is  master of disguise and rather adept at assuming different alter egos. The show attempts to represent Roger as a comical counter-part to Stan Smith.

He is a great example of how Greys have become part of our popular culture. Although he is a fictional a comedic fictional character, there are some shards of truth is his creation about the Greys:

"He was born around 400 A.D. on a planet that is very frigid. Crashed landed in the USA in 1947. He feeds of negative emotions".

Supposedly the greys are long lived, either existing through genetic clones or are biological engineered with a long lifespan. Supposedly greys feel comfortable in a cold environment. Presumably our government knows and has contact with Alien life forms.  And lastly it has sad that Greys feed off negative emotions.
