Okay, let's get one thing straight right off the bat: Family Guy is not, never has been, and never will be, The Simpsons. Nor is it South Park, King of the Hill, or any one of a number of other shows on Adult Swim. But yes, it is in many ways a rip-off of those other shows (especially The Simpsons; let's not even pretend otherwise). But so what? By now, you either think the show's funny, or you don't, and the derivativeness either bothers you, or it doesn't. Volume 4 is likely to just cement your feelings one way or the other, because this collection features some of the funniest, and the most offensive material yet. It's also the most cohesive. The show has always been incredibly erratic, turning on a dime to fit in all those jokes from out of the blue that start with Peter saying "Boy, this is worse than that time when..." But by now, the writers and series creator/executive producer Seth MacFarlane have figured out how to more seamlessly integrate them into the show, and that's just what it needed to really come together. In fact, the extra attention being paid to the show recently in the form of swipes from The Simpsons and especially South Park (which dedicated an entire episode to trying to kill off Family Guy) is evidence that this is probably the peak for the series. This volume is 14 episodes, and stand-outs include "The Courtship of Stewie's Father," which gives more face time to creepy old man Herbert (brilliantly voiced by Mike Henry), and "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Fonz," in which Peter starts his own church dedicated to Fonzie from Happy Days. Of course, there is still the lingering question of who the real star of Family Guy is: Peter or Stewie? The little football-head gets his moments to shine in "Sibling Rivalry," in which he battles with half-brother Bertram, and... well, pretty much every other episode, as he continues to get many of the memorable lines. Along with the extra features, over 40 deleted scenes, extensive commentaries, and featurettes, you true fans will get more than your share of laughs from this collection, which is what you watch the show for in the first place. --Daniel Vancini

 STOP complaining!!! October 23, 2008
I wish people would just enjoy the show for what it is instead of bashing it on here. If (in my opinion) you want to comment on it say something positive not negative. THere's enough negative crap in the world as it is. Sure every show and movie out there has flaws. Nobody is perfect. You know there is a button on your t.v. remote that says on/off you know. Stewie is my fave character! I got the family guy bendable set and a Stewie plush animated doll. HILARIOUS!!! SOmeone always comments on it when new people come over. You know they should make a movie: "Chucky vs. Stewie"! That would've been better I believe than the "Seed of CHucky". THink about it, there both bout the same size and both have overalls. Hmmmm. What you all think? Just a idea. I got a few Chucky dolls from 12" to 30" too. That Stewie Halloween costume is cool too!
4 stars because of split up seasons August 4, 2008
Family Guy is good, plain and simple. Why they need to split up the season into two box sets is beyond me. BOO! I get sick of these companies trying everything in their power to find new ways to suck a few more dollars out of our wallets. Come on already.
 great show horrible deal!!!!!!!! July 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
beleive me i love family guy i think its hilarious but what annoys me is that they are selling seasons by the half! look at it this way a show like the simpsons can cost any where between $20 msrp to $50 msrp depending on the season so lets say the average simpsons season costs $35 when i buy the simpsons which is in my mind equally as good as family guy i get 25 episodes for $35 but when i buy family guy im getting 13 episodes for $40 it just doesnt make sence to me they are just trying to rip us off it honestley is not fair at all id rather by the simpsons
 family guy - a must have June 30, 2008
This season is a must have for any Family Guy fan. From the episode where Brian goes back to college to the episode where Peter recites the family history locked in their own version of a panic room, they are all instant classics.
Gotta Love Family Guy February 21, 2008
