Season four has plenty of evidence for why the show shouldn’t be overlooked. Picking up the story of the family Griffin, this time more of the background characters are allowed into the limelight, and that’s really to the programme’s benefit. That’s not to say the main players are out of sight, and the quite wonderful baby Stewie has plenty of air time, but there’s a real ensemble feel.

The rapid-fire, razor-sharp wit and writing quality that’s become the trademark of the show is present and correct too, and the quality of the episodes on offer put season four up there as not quite the finest series of Family Guy to date, but it nonetheless runs things very close indeed. If you’ve not taken the plunge yet, you’ve really, really been missing out… --Jon Foster

Family Guy - Beware the number of episodes per disc !!!
Rating:3
Although still funny, I was slightly disappointed by the number of cutaway shots, Most of which seemed completely random. I got the impression that they had thought of several things they would like to try, then just stuck them randomly into an episode.

More annoying than that though, was the fact that where series 1-3 had 7 episodes per disc, this one had just 4. Just over HALF of the number of episodes in the previous series. Did some go missing somehwere ? Or was there simply less episoes in the series ? I don't know.

Extremely funny
Rating:5
Well what can i say, its family guy again. Rude? Yes, crude? Very. But funny? Ohhh yeh. This is probarbly the funnyest tv show ever created. Like many comedy tv programs it revolves around a stupid man, ok maybee not too origonal but the scenarios and shinnanagins he gets into cannot be beaten.
Extremely funny.

Warning: Do not buy if you are easily offended.


Incredible. perfect
Rating:5
This season is amazing, like all the others. Seth MacFarlane is a complete genius, i love this way this show takes the mick out of every day things, people, all kinds of stuff - and slaps them all together into a very witty and well animated cartoon. some people are very shallow and don't understand the humor, usually boring unimaginative people. if you have a sensor of humor and you want to be entertained, this is definitely worth watching. if your thinking about buying it........ buy it!

Worst series
Rating:3
This series it has to be said is pretty average and in some places rather poor. It is a very large step down from series 3 which was the pinnacle of Family Guy writing. The series as a whole does not begin to go downhill from here it actually improves with season 5 and then stays on a consistent plain. This is the dip in quality in my opinion, still funny but rather disappointing.

Same old Family Guy, it's not getting better it's getting worse.

Well I've never been a massive Family Guy fan but I have always liked the programme I thought it was funny and original. But it seems to be losing it's creativity originality and comedy moments that made it so great on the first 3 seasons.

Now it has become excactly like "The Simpsons" (still better though). The episodes are good but not up to Family Guy standards, they all have funny moment but I feel like they've done it all before got it off some other good tv animated show. Aswell I think it's really stupid Family Guy fans trying to be cool and bashing the The Simpsons 1. It doesn't really matter & 2. There both as bad as each other. It seems that most programmes that become really popular just get lazy in their writting and continue to write badly written cheesey unfunny episodes so they'd get money easily. The one programme that actually stands out is South Park though it's overrated it still manages to keep it's creativity and hilarious moments in the programme. Family Guy fan? then buy this otherwise I wouldn't bother.
