DVD Review: Funnier
Summary: 5 Stars

Where do the writers get these idea's? They just keep putting out quality episodes with laugh material.

DVD Review: Trying Too Hard
Summary: 3 Stars

As a huge proponent of the revival of Family Guy, I am disheartened by the lack of creativity that is becoming the norm for this show. It is becoming very clear that the writers think they need only think of something offensive and then arbitrarily put it into the show. Non sequiturs are only humorous to a certain extent, an extent which I believe this volume, unfortunately, surpasses.

DVD Review: freakin sweet
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this show and I hope that it keeps going for many years to come.

DVD Review: Family Guy Has "Jumped The Shark"
Summary: 3 Stars

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.

Description of Family Guy, Vol. 5 (Season 5 Part 1)

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
