Boasting laughs as big as Peter's waistline, these 14 hilarious episodes from Season Four find television's most outrageous animated family in all sorts of comically compromising situations. Don't miss out on this Fox TV DVD best seller--a 3 disc set available for $39.98 & $54.98.
Description of Family Guy, Vol. 4 (Season 4 Part 2):
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
Family Guy, Vol. 4 (Season 4 Part 2) Reviews:
Family Guy Vol. 4 ( season 4 part 2) 
2009-05-05 - The title for my review says a lot!! Again...why split seasons up so much? MONEY!! This volume 4 was definitely better than volume 6. This was much more on the edge and a lot funnier episodes. I do not like when you get 3 or 4 discs in the volume and there is only one episode on the last disc. Again, great entertainment for people who can laugh at themselves (instead of others). Family Guy fans, a must have!
Great pick up
2009-02-14 - I am a huge fan of the show and this was a great pick up of a the dvd and it arrived in perfect shape
Less clever than previous seasons and more biting 
2008-12-21 - While there are still great episodes, this season has more personal slams, more biting, and less of the clever twists and alterations of current events and other outside shows. A little overdone on degrading various other groups - not with the clever humor of previous seasons but more sophmoric shock humor.
Still has some quick laughs and twisted inserts that make Family Guy the fabulous show that it is.
Great condition
2008-11-29 - This set comes with 4 DVDs in seperate thin cases and all are in perfect condition, not one scratch on any of them, and nothing is torn on the box, plus the DVDs are HILARIOUS
STOP complaining!!! 
2008-10-23 - 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!
