Family Guy lives! That's great news for the devoted fans who watched in record numbers the reruns on Cartoon Network and made the Family Guy DVDs bestsellers. It's bad news for Mel Gibson, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Fallon, Rob Schneider, Skeet Ulrich, Corey Haim, My Two Dads, and other pop-culture detritus this show's writers take infinite delight in kicking when they're down (or up, for that matter). The long, long, awaited fourth season begins with a bravado broadside at Fox, which canceled Family Guy in 2002. Peter Griffin (voiced by series creator Seth MacFarlane) recites a litany of 29 doomed replacement shows beginning with Dark Angel and ending with Greg the Bunny. From there, it's like the Griffins never left. The 13 episodes are just as dense with bodily function jokes, surreal nonsense, gratuitous pop-culture references (the more obscure, the better), and edgier gags that recklessly cross the line on any number of levels ("Maybe I was wrong about you," Jodie Foster says to John Hinckley in the episode, "Model Misbehavior." "Maybe I was wrong about all men."). The new season rewards longtime viewers with appearances by such series icons as the Greased-Up Deaf Guy and the Evil Monkey in Chris's closet, and makes no concessions to newcomers to the show (who will no doubt be scratching their heads over the more than two-and-a-half-minute digression in "Blind Ambition," in which Peter's nemesis, the Giant Chicken, returns to continue the smackdown that started in the season 2 episode "Da Boom." In "World Domination: The Family Guy Phenomenon," one of the bonus features included on this three-disc set, MacFarlane proclaims these new shows to be "the best we've done." A bold claim, but often enough, one is laughing too hard to prove otherwise. One minute, Family Guy dazzles with inspired animation (In "Breaking Out Is Hard to Do," Chris reaches for a carton of milk at the supermarket and finds himself pulled in to A-ha's classic music video, "Take on Me"). The next, it's wallowing in vomit ("8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter"). In addition to the freewheeling episode commentaries, this set also includes a great bonus, excerpts of cast "table reads" of two episodes. Back to the "World Domination" featurette. MacFarlane states, "It's the first time since we've been doing (the show) that I think it's safe to say that we're here to stay for awhile." Are you listening, Fox? --Donald Liebenson

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5

1) So perfect, it's retarded   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This volume of Family Guy has a hilarious mix of pop culture references (Chris ends up in the "Take on Me" video, the family meets the Goonies in a sewer), one-liners and sight gags (Peter forgetting how to sit down). The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire, Petarded, Breaking Out is Hard to Do, 8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter and Don't Make me Over are probably my favorites but the rest are pretty hilarious too. It is politically incorrect as ever and Stewie provides a lot of the funniest moments, even though he is not as evil as before. I can't believe they broke up season four into two volumes though, it is still highly enjoyable and a must-have for the fan.

2) Hilarious as hell!!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Well basically its Family Guy so it doesnt get any better than this. I got this for my bf for christmas and we watched it like all night long first disc to third disc.

3) Good stuff.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Family Guy is awesome and this season is one of the best. Stewie rips on Brian so much during this season, it kills me. MacFarlane pushes the limits in this season with outrageous jokes and social commentaries. Can't wait to get season 5.

4) What the duece did you expect?!   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Admit it, other then the chicken fight, the Michael Moore competition and the ipecac contest a lot of this still may be too hip for the room.

5) Good but not great   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Has a lot of funny and great episodes but this is only season 4 part 1, so it has only around 4 episodes per disc and I think that is really dumb. They should of done what they did in the UK and put it in ONE box set for 30, that would of been better for all of us and I wouldn't be having to use so much of my money on these (family guy obsessy).
