Family Guy - Season 4 is the fourth season of the popular TV show, Family Guy! It was created by Seth McFarlane, who also created "American Dad", and was the first season back after they were canceled during the third season run.

Understandably, Family Guy fans were furious at this and started again to try and get their show back on the air again. Petitions were created garnering thousands of signatures, and people wrote into Fox and staged protests to try and bring back Family Guy. Luckily for them (and me), when the show was released on DVD, it was a huge success, selling over two million units within the first year. This, combined with good ratings of past episodes on Cartoon Network, prompted the execs at Fox to screw their heads back on and renew the show.

The fourth season premiered in 2005 and the first episode opened on a very funny sequence set in 2002 showing Peter telling the family they have been canceled. He then lists off all the Fox shows that would have to be canceled (they were) before they could return to the airwaves. The last three episodes of this season were the basis for the feature length film "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story".

"North by North Quahog" is a great start to the season where Peter and Lois go on a second honeymoon and Peter ends up impersonating Mel Gibson so they can use his luxury hotel suite. There they see a trailer for "Passion of the Christ 2" and then have to escape from the priests who have come to collect it. I think over time these episodes will be regarded as part of the golden age of this show, with memorable moments and a great cast of characters.

Another good episode is "Petarded", where Peter is classed as mentally retarded after taking an IQ test. He exploits his new 'condition' until Lois gets injured, at which point the government decides that he is unfit to look after his kids alone. An episode that shows you how much Peter loves his kids, it doesn't match up to the depth and emotion of some Simpsons episodes, but it's still pretty good.

Overall a great return to form with well written episodes and lots of laughs, five stars!
