Family Guy (season 4)
List of episodes

Family Guy's fifth season originally aired on the Fox network between September 10, 2006 and May 20, 2007, and premiered with the episode "Stewie Loves Lois", and concluded with the episode "Meet the Quagmires". The series continues to follow the Griffin family, a dysfunctional family consisting of father Peter, mother Lois, daughter Meg, son Chris, baby Stewie and Brian, the family pet, who reside in their hometown of Quahog. The showrunners for the fifth production season comprised Chris Sheridan, David Goodman and show creator Seth MacFarlane.

The season received a mixed reception from critics, citing the overuse of "one-joke" characters, and the lack of original writing. Critics also, however, noted that the series saw "no sign of tiring", with "as many funny moments as ever."[1] In addition, the season contains some of the series' most acclaimed episodes, including "Barely Legal", "Airport '07" and "No Chris Left Behind".[2][3][4] Season five won one Annie Award for Storyboarding, and was also nominated for three more Annie Awards, including Writing and in Voice acting. The season also won one Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation.

There were eighteen episodes produced for the season, with the Volume Five DVD box set being released in Region 1 on September 18, 2007, Region 2 on October 15, 2007 and Region 4 on November 25, 2009. Thirteen of the total eighteen episodes are included in the volume. The remaining five episodes of the season were released on the Volume Six DVD box set, and was released in Region 1 on October 21, 2008, Region 2 on November 10, 2008 and Region 4 on November 25, 2009.

Production

Seth MacFarlane served as co-executive producer for the season.

Production for the fifth season began in 2005, during the airing of the fourth season. The season was executive produced by series regulars David A. Goodman, Seth MacFarlane, Chris Sheridan, David Zuckerman and Daniel Palladino.[5]

As the fifth season began production, Tom Devanney, Kirker Butler, Cherry Chevapravatdumrong, Alec Sulkin, Wellesley Wild, Patrick Meighan, Danny Smith and future showrunners Mark Hentemann and Steve Callaghan,[6] all stayed with the show following the previous season, with no new writers being brought in after the conclusion of the fourth season. Alex Borstein, who serves as the voice of Lois, wrote her last episode, "It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One", and regular writers Ken Goin and Gary Janetti left the series, before the beginning of the fifth season.

Julius Wu and Brian Iles received their first directing credits this season. Mike Kim, James Purdum, Cyndi Tang, Greg Colton, Pete Michels, Zac Moncrief, John Holmquist and future Blue Harvest director Dominic Polcino all also stayed with the show after the previous season had ended. This season, however, was director Dan Povenmire's last season before leaving the show to create his own series, entitled Phineas and Ferb, a series which has since been nominated for three Emmy Awards.[7]

The main cast consisted of Seth MacFarlane (Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, Quagmire, Tom Tucker, among others), Alex Borstein (Lois Griffin, Loretta Brown, Tricia Takanawa, Barbara Pewterschmidt, among others), Mila Kunis (Meg Griffin), Seth Green (Chris Griffin, Neil Goldman, among others) and Mike Henry (Cleveland Brown, Herbert, among others).[8]

Drew Barrymore provided the voice of Jillian for five episodes in the season.

In introducing new recurring characters, the character of Jillian Fisher, Brian's new dimwitted girlfriend, was introduced in the episode "Whistle While Your Wife Works", to provide a sense of irony, with the smart nature of Brian and the seemingly dumb nature of Jillian.[9] The final character personality was designed to be a stereotypical blonde, "a bulimic cheerleader," and "not the brightest bauble on the tree."[10] Her voice would later play upon the bulimic cheerleader element, with actress Drew Barrymore providing the voice of Jillian in eight episodes, five of which would be in season five.[11] Other guest stars who made multiple appearances as recurring characters from previous seasons, comprised Carrie Fisher as Peter's boss, Angela,[12] and Phyllis Diller as Peter's mother.[13] Seth MacFarlane's sister, Rachael MacFarlane, also made her last appearance as Olivia, the child actress, when her character was killed by Stewie in the episode "Chick Cancer".[14]

The season ends just short of the series' 100th episode, which presents the funniest clips of the previous 99 episodes. The decision to end the fifth season before the 100th episode was made due to Fox executive's desire to show the Family Guy special hour-long Blue Harvest as the sixth season premiere, which was also then-unfinished, at the end of the fifth season in May 2007.[15]

Reception

The season was subject to mixed reception from critics. Ahsan Haque of IGN wrote mixed comments about the season, saying that "The ratio of bad to good episodes was not too favorable in this season of Family Guy. Far too many episodes were either seriously lacking in humor or were just plain poorly written" and that "While much of the original appeal seems to have washed-off, there are still a few moments from this season that really stand out."[16] After writing about Family Guy's "quirky characters," such as Herbert and The Greased up Deaf Guy, Movie Web reviewed the season negatively, commenting that "the show began to hit a slight downward slope by utilizing these one-joke characters in more than one joke. This resulted in probably the weakest season for the series..."[17]

A man with black hair and glasses speaks into a microphone.
Executive producer David A. Goodman responded to criticism by the PTC.

The Parents Television Council, a television watchdog group, deemed four episodes of the season as the "worst prime-time shows for family viewing." The list of episodes included in the PTC's criticism were "Stewie Loves Lois", "Barely Legal", "No Meals on Wheels" and "Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey".[18][19][20][21] Executive producer David Goodman responded to the PTC's criticism, by claiming that Family Guy is "absolutely for teenagers and adults" and he does not allow his own two children to watch the show.[22] The statement by Goodman, however, did not stop the PTC from continuing to try to ban the show, as the organization continues to accuse the Federal Communications Commission of misrating the episodes, having twice filed formal FCC complaints about Family Guy.

Awards

Episodes of the fifth season won several awards, including one Primetime Emmy Award. "No Chris Left Behind", winning for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation, became the third episode of the series to win an Emmy Award, and was awarded to Steven Fonti for his storyboard work in the episode.[4] The episode also won an Annie Award for Storyboarding in an Animated Television Production. The season was also nominated for three other Annie Awards, which were Character Animation in a Television Production (Eileen Kohlhepp for the series itself), Voice Acting in an Animated Television Production (Mila Kunis for "Barely Legal") and Writing in an Animated Television Production (Kirker Butler for "Barely Legal").[23][24]

Ratings

As in the previous season, Family Guy aired Sunday at 9:00 p.m. (PTC) in the United States and was coupled with the season two premiere of Seth MacFarlane's second series for Fox, American Dad!. "Stewie Loves Lois", the season premiere, was the highest rated episode of the season, and was viewed in 9.93 million homes, with a final rating by Iverson of 4.5/10.[16] "Meet the Quagmires", the season finale, aired during the week of May 20–26 2007, ending the fifth season.
