Product Description
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

 Will not be buying this volume! July 24, 2007

I love Family Guy. I own every season on DVD. But I will not be buying this volume.
It was understandable that they split Season 4 into two separate volumes--it made the season numbers and the volume numbers identical.
But splitting Season 5 into two separate volumes and charging more for one volume than a previous entire season costs is just greedy.
You will not be getting any more money from me!
 Disappointment June 22, 2007

Yes I am extremely glad that Family Guy is releasing volume 5 of their smash hit show. My major disappointment is that they decided to release only the first 13 episodes of Season 5 instead of releasing the entire season all at once. But I still can't wait for this DVD set to come out.
Getting stale, but still quite funny July 27, 2007

Since Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy was brought back from the dead by Fox a few years back, the show has remained a hit thanks to it's brand of out of nowhere references and humor. However, as some episodes in this collection will tell you, the comedy is starting to get stale. The jokes and visual gags just aren't as funny as they used to be, and I'm sorry for pointing this out and even mentioning it, but since South Park's "Cartoon Wars", the show just doesn't provide the laugh out loud hilarity for me that it used to. Despite that though, the episodes found here are winners, including Brian and Stewie joining the military and going to Iraq, Peter sues his doctor for sexual harassment and later gets a job at the Wal-Mart-esque superstore that is destroying Quahog, and Meg falls in love with Brian (yes, you read that right). The voice cast still does great work, and despite the flaws (the Brian and Stewie interplay is really downplayed, the Marilyn Manson gag isn't half as funny or clever as it thinks it is), this first part of the fifth season of Family Guy succeeds. And yes, as previous reviews have already stated, this is only half a season and we are being milked for our money, but considering the DVD market over the past few years, should we really be surprised? If you're a die hard fan of the series, you'll be picking this up regardless.
FULL price for HALF a season November 7, 2007

Buying half a season for what you would pay for a full season of any other show just encourages the jackasses who put this together to do it again. Wait until the price drops then buy.

It's the television series that was resurrected by the people who went out and purchased an astounding number of DVDs. It was the first and only time that a shows future was so clearly determined by the amount of DVD sets bought by loyal fans. I find it odd that the loyalty to this show has been so clearly taken advantage of and been turned into profit for whatever greedy person or people who decided to split the seasons into halves. There is no reason for the split other than financial gain.
The very people who saved this show are the ones getting screwed over. What an insult.
