Amazon.co.uk 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

Synopsis
The adventures of the Griffin family continues with the story of bumbling, well-intentioned father Peter; his sweet but oblivious wife Lois; and their teenagers, dim-witted Chris and awkward Meg. The most recognisable characters, however, remain the family's masterminds: evil genius baby Stewie, determined to achieve complete world domination at the age of one, and Brian, an erudite martini-swilling dog, the family's lone voice of reason. Includes the episodes 'PTV', 'Brian Goes Back To College', 'The Courtship Of Stewie's Father', 'Fat Guy Strangler', 'The Father, The Sun And The Holy Fonz', 'Brian Sings And Swings', 'Patriot Games', 'I Take Thee Quagmire', 'Sibling Rivalry',
'Deep Throats', 'Peterotica', 'You May Now Kiss The ...Uh... Guy Who Receives', 'Petergeist', and 'Griffin Family History'.

Customer Reviews

So funny
Each episode is individual, and they are all equally funny, some in fact funnier than others, but overall, a brilliant season and compliments the phrase "value for money".

Family guy For this cheap?
This by far the best series yet and had me laughing so hard i couldnt catch a breath ha! The best bit is how cheap this is on amazon as its only a tenner how amazing is that?

Brilliant
I have not seen series 6 yet, so I am not including that, but this is my favourite series of Family Guy so far. It has everything you'd expect from the show, unbelievably offensive jokes, brilliant hilarious storylines, and scenes that will make you laugh out loud. This is Family Guy at its best.

The episodes on this dvd are great, if decreasing slightly in greatness towards the end. I love the episode where Peter starts his own religion to workship Fonzy from Happy Days, but there are so many other great episodes that I couldn't possibly pick a favourite.

If you are looking for good old offensive entertainment, and don't mind being a little offended yourself, then this is the dvd for you.
