Review

The debates have already been raging across the Internet over whether Family Guy has peaked, whether it’s the funniest show on television at the moment, and whether it’s better than The Simpsons, or some way behind it. Yet while most will agree that season five isn’t the best the show’s creators have produced, don’t let that blind you to the sheer joy contained within this DVD set.

The highlights of Family Guy for many, of course, are Stewie the ingenious baby and the family’s dog Brian (arguably the sanest one of the lot), and both are in fine form here. And while this series again allows many of the supporting characters a space in the limelight, it’s Stewie and Brian who remain responsible for some of Family Guy’s funniest moments. Bluntly, there are plenty of them.

Still, there’s little getting away from the fact that season five lacks the spark that energised the superb first two or three series, and as a result, there are episodes here that are good where they were once great. There are, still, plenty of examples of the old magic, and it’s still primarily a real pleasure that’s pretty much guaranteed to raise laughs from those who don’t mind their entertainment with a bit of edge. But it’ll be interesting to see where Family Guy goes from here, and whether its real glory days are permanently consigned to the past. --Jon Foster

A well balanced comedy
Family Guy is turning into one of the finest shows on T.V, with every season passing it gets closer and closer to usurping The Simpsons and South Park as the king of T.V comedy. It's worth noting that Season 5 isn't as good as previous highpoints Series one and series four but it remains a well balanced comedy treat with so many brillinat pop references.
The best episodes in this three disc set are PTV in which peter sets up his own television station, I take thee Quagmire in which local Sex hound Quagmire gets married and Petergeist a wonderful riff on Tobe Hoopers classic movie Poltergeist.
The set also comes with commentary's on every episode most of which are quite amusing and a series of mixed deleted scenes, some great some rightfully deleted.
All in all a must have for fans and at its current price theres no excuse for even Family Guy novices to avoid this...

Incredible. perfect
This season is amazing, like all the others. Seth MacFarlane is a complete genius, i love this way this show takes the mick out of every day things, people, all kinds of stuff - and slaps them all together into a very witty and well animated cartoon. some people are very shallow and don't understand the humor, usually boring unimaginative people. if you have a sensor of humor and you want to be entertained, this is definitely worth watching. if your thinking about buying it........ buy it!
