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

Each of the episodes are filled with laugh out loud jokes, great animation, and wildly varied plots.
So why'd i give it two stars?
It's because of this: throughout the series you will constantly notice how abruptly the episodes end, as though they've gotten to 19 minutes, realized they've got 2 more to go, and scribbled down a thrown-together end.
Do buy this! it's worth the money! just know you're not getting gold

Family Guy is one of my favorite cartoon shows and I always look to buy them when they come out. The show right has reached just above 100 episodes and (in my opinion) still goin strong. Seth has a knack for creating humor and his impressions are always an automatic laugh for me. The DVD is good but not compared to the first three seasons. First of all there aren't enough episodes to be selling a box set like this, might as well have waited until the season is fully complete. The Extras are decent enough including a lot of Deleted Scenes and also pretty good commentary by Seth and the crew. I got it for $17.99 which is not bad, cuz I heard people were getting it for $29.99 for this which is most definetly not worth it, most of the negative reviews for this DVD was because of the price being to high but I guess there is no need to complain anymore.

The series itself is always funny but it can get repetitive a lot of times like for example the "Chicken Fights" was great the first 2 or 3 times but now it is just an annoyance and not even entertaining anymore, they should really stop wasting time animating them because the fights are actually one of the most complicated to animate. Also, while some jokes may be hilarious, some feel like Deja Vu to me, especially the parodies they do which is way too predictable. So the rate the series is going right now it probably has 2 seasons left in em, but if they fix the problems it could run endlessly. So to the Family Guy staff, keep things freakin fresh.

I am an ardent, hard core Family Guy fan, but where is the rest of the season?? When is it coming out at least? We definitley got screwed here, but I don't think its the creators fault-I think Fox is the culprit. All I want is the rest of the season!

This is a fun DVD and a can not miss for any fan of Family Guy. Unfortunately, the problems with Family Guy become more frequent in this season and the show loses some quality. It is thoroughly enjoyable and great to bring out at parties, but it pales in comparison to the first three box sets.

If you are new to Family Guy, start with Seasons 1, 2, and 3.

*sigh*... Family Guy used to be my favorite show. I own seasons 1-4 on DVD and they are JEWELS. They are seasons I will trasure forever.

I had missed all the eps on TV so I bought this, even though it was half the season. Now watching the season, I noticed:

1). There's more Chicken Fights in the first 5 episodes than ANY OF THE OTHER SEASONS COMBINED! Why did they need to increase the amout of chicken fights? That's like having 5 episodes on one disc and then calling it a full season.

2. At this point in the show, the show's title should have been changed to "A Show With Brian and Stewie". Seriously, more than half the episodes are set on Stewie and Brian alone. I could tell they weren't interesed in any of the other characters.

3. Every episode, the show just keeps getting more and more repetitive. I found it pretty depressing that my favorite show turned into The Simpsons. Once a second rate Simpsons, always a second rate Simpsons!

4. The jokes just keep getting more and more forced. Almost all the jokes refrence Pop Culture, and then there's a flashback/parody of a famous people and popculture. I could swear the show's becoming a cash in now. It's time they stopped the show here.

In short, this series needs to stop here. It's crap now. And it really makes me sad as a Family Guy lover to be typing this review up.
