Family Guy Volume 5

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

The episodes on volume five still make me laugh after seeing them over and over, and I am a family guy nerd (although I do think the show has lost its consistency recently… they do still come out with some good episodes, but the ratio is more like 3 good episodes to every 2 bad ones, whereas it was a rarity that you ever had a subpar episode around this time).
The only problem is that this is deceiving for a 3 disc box set… only 2 discs contain episodes, the third disc is just special features. I think a lot of the Family Guy box sets are slight rip offs, but the seasons are the best values, compared to the insulting additional F.G. DVDs…. including the separation of the star wars episodes on three different dvds, Stewie Griffin the Untold Story (the DVD that started the shameless ripping off of the fans) which is 2 episodes played off as a movie, Partial Terms of Endearment – ONE unaired episode with a few cheapo special features…)
Anyway, back to season five… a must own season despite the fact that it’s really a two disc box set. One of the best collections of F.G. episodes ever!- Marcos

The reason for the full price for half a season is simple. When Fox realized they made a mistake when they cancelled it, they basically begged the creator to come back. The show was already picked up by Cartoon Network, so McFarlane raked Fox over the coals to get as much money as possible. And I don’t blame him a bit. In an effort to recoup some of their losses, Fox decided to split the seasons to double their profits. Why do you think the first 3 seasons were NOT broken up? Because the show was not picked up by anyone yet. Typical Hollywood theivery, plain and simple.-Nick
