The first half of the season is included within the Volume Five DVD box set, which was released on September 18, 2007 and the second half is included within the Volume Six DVD box set, which was released on October 21, 2008. This was the first season to air in Fox's Animation Domination block.
Reception
Ahsan Haque of IGN rated the season a 6.9/10, saying "The ratio of bad to good episodes wasn't too favorable in this season of Family Guy. Far too many episodes were either seriously lacking in humor or were just plain poorly written. [...] There was a time when Family Guy was one of the most creative and funniest shows on television. During the pre-cancellation days, this was a show that was not to be missed. While much of the original appeal seems to have washed-off, there are still a few moments from this season that really stand out. Next season's premiere looks extremely promising, with a long retelling of the original Star Wars film that will definitely excite and entertain fans around the world."[1]
