Wonderful

I love the show of Family Guy and this volume as well as all volumes make it great to enjoy the series in the event that its not on TV!

Funniest show on TV

This is by far my favorite show on TV. As a long-time Simpsons fan, I was skeptical when The Family Guy came out and never watched it until after it was on DVD. I'm glad I did. I bought all the DVDs to catch up and now never miss an episode. It's the funniest show around.

Back and as funny as ever...almost.

Family Guy has a strange history. Although it was always well-received, the executives at Fox seemed to have a vendetta against the show, heavily censoring it and then finally canceling it before its time. However, strong DVD sales and high ratings on Cartoon Network pulled the series back from the brink. The result is this DVD volume which features the beginning of Family Guy's return. The show starts off strong again, although it doesn't quite have the same crackle that it once had.

Family Guy, like the Simpsons, has a number of divisive opinions. Some claim the shows have gone steadily downhill for years, while others claim that it's funnier than ever. My opinion on the series is the former, but most of that downhill slide came after this DVD volume. The episodes on this DVD include a terrific return to the airwaves coupled with a skewering of Fox's decision to cancel them in the first place. It fleshes out some of the minor characters of Quahog, such as Peter's neighbor Cleveland, and it gives the spotlight to Meg and Chris a bit more. Most importantly, it features an episode guest-starring James Woods that is one of the best Family Guy episodes there has ever been.

The reason I give this four stars instead of five is because while the episodes are very good, there are definite signs that the show has lost some of its focus over the years. Stewie has gone from being an evil baby to a continuous gay joke, although the creators do sometimes tap back into his sinister side. The cutaways become increasingly nonsensical as the writers start to rely more on one-note jokes than the plot of the show. And some running gags, particularly Peter's recurring fights with a giant chicken, will leave newcomers to the show cold. While these are all symptoms to the show's eventual slide, the episodes here remain in good form. While not quite as strong as seasons 2 and 3 were, this new Family Guy is still worth watching and will definitely earn its laughs.

Good product

The dvd came in good shape. Both the disks and case are in good condition and the dvd's play great. The order was delivered in good timing as well.

As Always A Riotous TV Show!

I can probably repeat myself when reviewing each volume of 'Family Guy', one of the funniest and cutting edge animated tv shows. Always pushing the envelope, this show almost knocked down many rules the FCC had placed for what tv can allow and restrict for viewers. Many kudos go to Seth for presenting his many talents. Only problem is why splitting the seasons up in volumes instead of just presenting each season as a complete season?
