DVD Review: Family Guy Volume 5 - Page 3

Toys, Toys Galore. This runs for sixteen minutes and gives an overview of the toyline. They talk about how the company was selected, the making of the molds, and which characters are most popular. It was kind of cool, but not terribly in depth. I learned more about the making of figures from a recent episode of the Geeks On podcast. Worth watching once.

Freakin' Sweet Promo. A brief commercial hawking the set of Seth McFarlane picked favorites.

Bottom line. I don't understand why Fox decided to release this season split while raising the MSRP. Sure, they want to make money, but it ruins the track record of earlier releases. If you want a sampling of how happy the public is, take a look at some of the Amazon comments. Still, I love the show and will likely pick it up somewhere down the line. The extras are pretty cool, particularly the animatics, and the deleted scenes contain a big bunch of laughs.

Mildly Recommended.
