The laughs are non-stop, as is the price 
2008-06-16
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!
I love Family guy :) 2008-06-06
I'm more than obsessed with family guy, rushing to get every new season. And they seem to get better and better each year. Sure the characters have changed a bit but people grow within time. Stewie isn't obsessed with killing Lois anymore and his personality comes through in the last few seasons. I am a devoted fan and would definitely reccomend this to anyone. :)
Still Good

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.
WHERE IS THE REST????

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!
Fun, but Cant Live Up to its Past 2008-03-21
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
Just stop the show already!!! 2008-03-10
*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.
This series is running out of steam 2008-03-01
I love this show! Especially the early seasons and the "Stewie Griffen: The Untold Story" movie. After it returned from being cancelled, however, it gradually got less and less funny. This season still made me laugh quite a bit but none of the episodes kept me laughing long enough to make my face hurt, which to me is what a really great comedy should do. Everything considered, if you are a fan of this series as I am, you will want to own this half season DVD for your collection, but if you don't already own the other seasons I would recommend getting the "Family Guy Freakin' Party Pack" which includes the complete series, the movie, a bonus disc with special features and a crapload of cool family guy stuff(playing cards, etc.)
Not Freakin' Sweet 2008-02-17
I love Family Guy, but I think they are getting kind of greedy here. Instead of selling their episodes by seasons, they are now splitting up their seasons into volumes. This coming now that the show is getting older and not as fresh. Don't get me wrong, it is STILL very funny. (Obviously, I bought season 5 vol. 1, didn't I) But, it is far too much money to spend on 2 disks, and an extra disk of nothing. This is no way to treat your fans, that saved you from cancellation. Of course, I bought it before I realized it was only half a season. Oh well, I will be more careful in the future.

I purchased this set as a gift for my boyfriend. He has all of the rest of the Family Guy Collection and I wanted to update it with the last released set. He loved it! We have watched the majority of the episodes and enjoyed them. We love the humor and will watch them over and over. Money well spent!
