More Freakin' Sweet Family Guy Fun

Like the majority of tv shows on DVD, Family Guy creators are looking to make money. But unlike other tv shows on DVD, the fan base of Family Guy purchasing DVD sets brought the show back from cancellation. Thanks to this show of commitment by fans, Family Guy continues to flourish and produce quality episodes.
While it is nice to have the first thirteen episodes, the major disappointment to this set is that it is “Volume 5” – and not the whole season. Nonetheless, it is nice to have these thirteen episodes on DVD since they are fun and humorous. Since many people feel that quality is more important than quantity, Family Guy Volume 5 on DVD is mostly regarded as a good purchase.

Family Guy Volume 5 on DVD does not fail as it continues to provide watchers with some of the funniest Family Guy episodes yet (I personally am a huge fan of the episodes where Peter thinks his doctor rapes him during a prostate exam, and when Brian and Stewie join the military and go to Iraq – and think about shooting each other in the foot to go home…).

The play all option on the disc is great for when I’m going to bed and want to fall asleep to the show! The only thing that viewers should beware of is that unlike other tv shows on DVD, the Family Guy Volume 5 DVD set has a language default of “uncensored”. This means that you will hear quite a number of curse words if you don’t change it. While this is not a problem for most people, it is worth mentioning, especially if you are going to be watching it with impressionable little ones around.


The extras on this are great – especially How to Draw Peter Griffin. It’s nice and straightforward, and even I can now draw a halfway decent Peter (I’m not very art savvy…). There are commentaries on all three discs and deleted scenes on the last disc, as well as a promotional piece for the Freakin’ Sweet Christmas Collection coming out and a 16-17 minute long piece discussion all the toys that have been created featuring the Family Guy characters! It’s a great addition to the previous four volumes and full of the great humor and out-there antics that made this show a cult classic.
