Product Description

Seth MacFarlane's animated comedy continues its assault on pop culture good taste and the Fox censors with its riotous fifth season. Even though nothing has really changed for the Griffin family there's still plenty of comedic ground to cover. Peter keeps his crown as the laziest man in Quahog Rhode Island but getting older means experiences that no man should have to go through. Meanwhile his beloved Lois is still far too sexy for her portly husband leading to a liaison with Bill Clinton. Son Chris joins a band but he can't seem to shake his fear of the evil monkey in his closet. Daughter Meg continues her tour of mediocrity with a job at a store in town while Brian the dog puts down his martini long enough to go beyond the bounds of Quahog and travel to Iraq. Baby Stewie remains intent on world domination and matricide but he takes some time off to connect with an ex-love. Volume five includes the first 13 episodes of the fifth season plus commentary deleted scenes and more to delight FAMILY GUY fans.System Requirements:Running Time: 379 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 024543461463 Manufacturer No: 2246146

Family Guy Has "Jumped The Shark"
I've been a big Family Guy fan ever since I first saw the show back in 1999 during the original run of the show & was still a fan through the syndication runs on TBS & Cartoon Network, the DVD releases all the way to it's uncancellation on Fox (I didn't buy the CD's or books though...I don't have that much money to spend). However, this was the DVD volume (since it's not the whole season) where I felt the show honestly started taking a turn for the worst and "jumped the shark" as I bought this the first day it came out & after watching it, had it sit around collecting dust for months as this volume just isn't as funny as the previous ones. Sure Family Guy had some "hit & miss" episodes like any other TV show that's been on long term but this was just more misses than hits. Eventhough the key to Family Guy is it's shock value & cutaway jokes...in the previous seasons/volumes, they had a good storyline to go along with it but this time, they rely more on the shock value of being "uncensored" on 11 of the 13 episodes & cut away jokes than just having a good plot based episode which wears off after watching this 2-3 times at the most. They also tried doing things different that I honestly didn't think worked like the joke where they cutaway to the county music singer or during the "Road To Rupert" episode where they had Stewie replacing Jerry The Mouse dancing in a scene from an old movie...they just weren't funny & didn't do anything for me. And eventhough your paying for 3 disc, the first two are the 13 episodes while the third one is just the deleted scenes, a short segement about how to draw Peter, 3 animatic episodes (which don't interest me at all), and another feature of all the Family Guy toys (which didn't interest me either). So I would say this was the weakest volume released yet & it's not something I would recommend for those who aren't die hard fans of the show.

The laughs are non-stop, as is the price
Hey people, you don't like the price you'll have to pay for half a season? No problem, do what I do, check in on your local pawn shops or thrift stores now and then. I got this DVD set DIRT CHEAP!!! On to the review.....

I love Family Guy. I also love Futurama and King of the Hill. All three shows have a different way of giving me the chuckles and laugh outs that I so desperately need. What I love about Family Guy is the ongoing gag of some off the wall reference, showing a crazy clip, and then back to the story.

There are some great episodes here and whoever thinks this show is getting old, well, I disagree. I laugh as much now as I did the first season. The only real change to the show is that Stewie is not trying so much to kill his mother as he is struggling with his sexuality. He 'marries' his old flame, but then dresses up like a woman for a blind date with Cris. Not only that, but when he tries to act gay with Brian to get out of the army and Iraq, he invites the gay officer for a make out session. I love that eposode in particular when Lois says "Oh Cris you don't want to join the army, now the MARINES, those are the guys you want to ****" As an active duty Marine for 18 years, thatline had me rolling on the ground with laughter as my wife's jaw dropped.

I for one hope Family Guy is around for a long long long time. Season 5 shows to me at least that this show is nowhere near running out of steam.

The show is awesome, the price is tragic!!!
Come on, this is Family Guy we are talking about. A truly great show, no question and the DVD's are great too. THE PRICING IS WHAT SUCKS!

This is just another FOX, Inc. Rupert Murdoch screw you good for your money ploy.

You are not getting the full season. You are getting half a season. Just like they did with Season 4. Two different DVD sets, 2 huge prices.

I do not blame anyone behind Family Guy, this is a real ripoff tactic by the scumbag Rupert Murdoch himself and his Fox executives (evil minions).

I will not buy this until I find it on sale at a drastically lower price. Of course, there is always NETFLIX!
