DVD Reviews of Family Guy: Volume Five (Season Five, Part 1)

DVD Review: "Once you go black, you go deaf"--Tom Tucker
Summary: 4 Stars

Another fun, watched many times over, Family Guy DVD. This time just with two DVDs of 13 total episodes (the third disc is bonus material). I don't like some of these episodes as well as the others in the Family Guy series, but I still watched these discs 4 times already, so who am I to knock them. If you are wondering about the blue limited edition version, I have that one and I like it mostly because it's ultra thin and doesn't take up much room in my expanding DVD cabinet. The bonus booklet isn't that great. It is just pictures of some of the main characters sitting at a bar. I only got one storyboard with my set which is just a card with sketches from a scene. The box advertised 5 storyboards so, I'm not sure if there were 5 made and you will get one of the five or if I got ripped off. If you want to keep your collection looking consistent on your shelf, I would just get the standard release as you won't be missing much.

Disc 1:
"Stewie Loves Lois"--Peter has a prostate exam and thinks he was raped (Lois's reaction: "[snicker, snicker] What?") Meanwhile, after Lois saves Rupert's life, Stewie smothers her--but this time with love.
"Mother Tucker"--Ha, ha, that title sounds like something else, huh? Anyway, Peter's mom gets a divorce and starts dating anchorman Tom Tucker and Peter reverts to childhood with Tucker being his new daddy. Also, Brian tries to host an intellectual radio program on the same station that features "Weenie and the Butt." My favorite part is the Peanuts reunion where Charlie Brown mourns the drug-related death of his best friend, "I don't give a cr*p about Woodstock, but SNOOPY!"
"Hell Comes to Quahog"--Meg wants a car so Peter gets her a tank which will later prove to be useful. To earn money for a more practical vehicle, Meg gets a job at the Super Megastore much to Brian's chagrin (as Lois said when Brian turned off the air conditioning due to its damaging effect on the OZone, "Save your hippie cr*p for the winter months").
"Saving Private Brian"--The army recruiters start influencing Chris so Peter gets him to join a rock band as a distraction. Meanwhile, Brian takes Stewie to the recruiting office to complain and they end up enlisting. Thankfully, in this episode, Stewie finally kills those annoying Vaudeville guys. Marilyn Manson makes his or her appearance (well, in animated form--no guest voice).
"Whistle While Your Wife Works"--Peter blows off his fingers in a firework mishap so Lois takes over his job while Peter just wants to screw around in the office. We meet Brian's airheaded girlfriend Jillian who's hilarious ("I was watching something on TV about this guy named Hitler...Somebody should stop him!") I'm bummed they broke up this past season.
"Prick Up Your Ears"--Lois is concerned that there is no sex ed at the high school so she teaches the class herself but angers the conservatives who only want her to teach abstinence. When the school takes over sex ed, the students (including Meg) start practicing a peculiar type of safe sex (leading to this brilliant line by Tom Tucker: "Once you go black, you go deaf."). Meanwhile, Stewie is paranoid about the tooth fairy.

Disc 2:
"Chick Cancer"--One of my favorite episodes in this set. Lois forces Peter to watch a chick flick, and he is very moved (emotionally) by it and decides to make his own. Meanwhile, Stewie is reunited with former musical theatre partner Olivia.
"Barely Legal"--Brian goes to the prom with a suicidal Meg who becomes obsessed with him. Also, Mayor West sends the entire Quahog police force to South America and Peter and the gang enter the police academy and blacks feel safe to dance in the streets.
"Road to Rupert"--Lois totally disses the "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story" DVD at the beginning of this one ("It's a middle finger to the fans"). Brian unknowingly sells Stewie's beloved teddy bear at a yard sale and they go on a trek to Aspen, Colorado following the family who bought it (what was in that box that fell out of that moving van, anyway?). When Peter gets his driver's license suspended, he develops a new-found appreciation for his chaufeur, Meg. That dancing number with Gene Kelly and Stewie taking the role of Jerry the Mouse in Anchors Away really goes on.
"Peter's Two Dads"--After Peter's father dies, he finds out he was not his biological dad. His real father lives in Ireland and bears a striking resemblance. In the meantime, Stewie becomes attached to Lois after she struck him (I don't think there was any real closure to this part of the story).
"The Tan Aquatic with Steve Zissou"--A day spent on the golf course without sunscreen has Stewie deciding to adopt a tan lifestyle but, after a tanning bed mishap, fears he's developed skin cancer. Also, after beating up a 13-year-old, Peter sees how much fun can be had being a bully.
"Airport '07"--Peter decides to become a redneck (my favorite part of this whole set is Carl Sagan's Cosmos edited for Rednecks) and that somehow leads to him syphoning off jet fuel causing Quagmire to crash his plane and get fired. The gang tries to get Glen's job back with some Airplane II-influenced ideas (one of the greatest movies of all time).
"Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey"--Lois is concerned about Peter's wild friendship with Bill Clinton so she, uh, tries to put the relationship to bed. Meanwhile, Brian is pressured to potty train.

Disc 3:
All bonus material, my favorite of which are the deleted scenes. It also includes Drawing Peter featurette, Toys, Toys Galore featurette, 3 animatic episodes with optional commentary: "Stewie Loves Lois," "Prick Up Your Ears," and "Chick Cancer." There is also commentary on all the episodes on the other two discs.
