Family Guy : Season 4

Review by Clint Morris

I don’t think I ever really appreciated Family Guy – Seth McFarlane’s adult toon about a lumbering, portly dad and his nonconformist family, consisting, no less, of a talking dog, intelligently-speaking tot, and so on - until it was gone.

Seems the rest of you were the same, and as an upshot, the show died, only to be resurrected Buffy-like (thanks to high DVD sales) a year or two later.

This fourth season – the first season since it’s reprieve – might just be the best season yet.

Seems they’ve put everything into making sure everyone (especially the network) views the renaissance with necessitate, so the writing is scrupulous, the jokes never-ending, and the in-jokes (especially liked the joke at the start of the first episode, where they ran through all the short-lived shows that FOX had cancelled in the states, like Wonderfalls, Firefly and The Lone Gunmen) flow as effortlessly as irrigate from a tap. Loads of laughs. 

EXTRAS

Commentaries by Seth MacFarlane and along with the shows Directors, Writers and Cast Members. There is the humerous Featurette "World Domination - The Family Guy Phenomenon".

Most enjoyable are the Deleted Scene Animatics and the outstanding "Music Of Family Guy" Featurette.

Keep an eye out for the rather special "Multi Angel Table Reads" which give an insight into what goes into making the show.

Conclusion: Movie 80% Extras: 55%
