HOW DOES IT COMPARE WITH THE PREVIOUS 3 SEASONS?
Seth MacFarlane and his team have really gone all out on this season, it's even crazier than ever before! Less of a family orientated cartoon series (such as The Simpsons), this season leans directly towards adults with a dark sense of humour. From Peter having a fart-off with Michael Moore, to Lois becoming a waif of a model and also dressing as X-Mens Mystique in an attempt to seduce Megs boyfriend, you really don't know what to expect next in this series! All your favourite characters are still here, including a couple of appearances from the evil monkey! As far as the DVD production for this season compared to the other seasons, there are many more additional features such as audio commentaries and featurettes. I'd also say that the shows creators have decided to break down as many boundaries with this series as possible, going all out in an attempt to p*** off Fox (cancel our show will you! *shakes fist*). This DVD set also comes in a stylish sleak box, not a bulky great thing like season 3!
HAS ANIMATION IMPROVED?
This season takes advantage of 3D animation, giving a much smoother image. Previously 3D animation has been used on other animated series such as Futurama (bring it back!).
WHAT ABOUT THE STORYLINES?
Storylines?! STORYLINES?! yeah.. you might find yourself a little lost in that respect, this season seems to be FULL of episodes that jump from one thing to another quite randomly. Not that it's a bad thing! There seems to be a lot more emphasis on particular comedy 'scenes' rather than comedy storylines, with a huge influx of flashbacks and cameos. The episodes are also littered with homage to Star Wars, Blues Brothers, Goonies, Dazed and Confused.
TO SUM IT UP
We've had this for a few weeks now, and it seems to be in the DVD player constantly. It's such a great season to watch if you just want some prozac TV or something playing in the background when you're *supposed* to be doing Uni work ;) A great buy, though, and well worth getting just for the DVD extras!
