13 More Episodes in a 3-Disc Set!
Critics agree... of all the animated shows featuring a talking dog and a maniacal baby, Family Guy is certainly one of them! Join the Griffin clan for another 13 freakin' funny episodes that'll keep you laughing long after the series gets cancelled again. Witness panicky Peter's first prostate exam; see lovable Lois jump into bed with Bill Clinton; watch miserable Meg get a crappy job at the local superstore; hear crazy Chris sing in a goth band; follow boozing Brian all the way to Iraq and back; and get a rare glimpse of smitten Stewie as he hooks up with a very young old flame. Sweet!

Editor's Note
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.

DVD Verdict 9 of 10
Family Guy debuted after the 1999 Super Bowl - which had little going for it as a football game, and not even Janet Jackson's nipple to up the ante. After its premiere, Fox bewilderingly put the show all over the place in its schedule. It was never a ratings winner, but Family Guy developed a strong cult audience who saw a show that blew The Simpsons off the map by being politically incorrect and insanely full of pop culture references...Family Guy is a no-brainer, but Family Guy: The Freakin' Sweet Collection seems like a move for more filthy lucre for Fox. If I knew all the profits went towards keeping the show on the air I would swoop into Best Buy and snap up the entire lot of them!
