Stewie begins to have second thoughts about doing away with his mother after Lois saves the scheming baby's beloved teddy bear in the season three premier of the irreverent animated sitcom The Family Guy. No one knows a son like their mother though, and trouble soon arises when Lois begins to grow suspicious of her son's clingy behavior. As Lois becomes increasingly irritated with Stewie, Peter goes in for a prostate exam and begins to suspect that his doctor is a enjoying himself a little too much.
Phyllis Diller provides the voice of Peter's mother, who shows up and announces that she's leaving his father. Soon she's in bed with Quahog anchorman Tom Tucker, who becomes a father figure to Peter. Meanwhile, Brian begins a serious radio show, but the station manager foists Stewie on him and soon they're shock jocks. Gore Vidal has a voice cameo as himself, appearing---very briefly---on their show.
Needing money to buy a car, Meg gets a job in Quahog's new big-box store. She does well there; so well she gets promoted. And the store does well in Quahog; so well, in fact, that it drives just about every other store in town out of business. Voice of Angela: Carrie Fisher.
Brian and Stewie join the Army. Chris wants to as well but Lois won't let him, so he joins a goth-rock band instead and immediately becomes very surly. Guest voices include Louis Gossett Jr. as the drill sergeant and Macaulay Culkin as one of Chris's bandmates.
Peter is unable to work after injuring his hands playing with fireworks, so Lois fills in for him and awakens his workplace sexual fantasies in the process. Meanwhile, Brian is dating a young woman (voice of Drew Barrymore) who's not very smart, and Stewie won't let him hear the end of it. Carrie Fisher returns as the voice of Peter's boss, Angela.
Lois teaches sex education at James Woods High, but is fired when other parents protest, so Principal Shepherd (voice of Gary Cole) brings in a preacher (David Cross) to rap about abstinence. One student who gets the message is Meg. Another is a boy she meets at the abstinence assembly. Soon, Peter gets the message as well. Meanwhile, Stewie has it in for both the tooth fairy and Brian's dim-witted girlfriend, Jillian (Drew Barrymore).
After marrying a fading child actress who has returned to her native Quahog, Stewie learns to his dismay what adult relationships are all about. Meanwhile, Lois drags Peter to a chick flick and he gets hooked, even deciding to make one himself. Voice of Jillian: Drew Barrymore.
Meg falls in love with Brian---then becomes obsessive about it---after he takes her to a high-school dance when no one else will. And Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland and Mort join the Quahog police after Mayor West (voice of Adam West) sends most of the force to Colombia in search of a character from a movie. Garrett Morris has a voice cameo as himself.
Brian inadvertently sells Stewie's teddy bear Rupert at a yard sale, prompting a cross-country odyssey to get it back. And Peter loses his driver's license after crashing his car doing an Evel Knievel-type stunt. He makes such a pest of himself around the house that Lois enlists Meg to be his chauffeur. Rob Lowe provides the voice of Rupert's buyer, and George Wendt has a cameo as Norm in a fantasy scene set in the "Cheers" bar.
Peter stops drinking (but starts smoking crack) after accidentally killing his father (voice of Charles Durning) while drinking heavily at Meg's birthday party. But is the dead man really his father? No, his mother (Phyllis Diller) confesses, he isn't. So Peter heads to Ireland to find his real dad. Meanwhile, Stewie develops masochistic tendencies.

Unfortunately I am here to warn you that MacFarlane gleefully crosses the line of good taste and revels in the awkward situations that may result in even loyal fans changing the channel.
Audience Reviews for Family Guy: Season 5

Sep 06, 2020I really like this idea to be suprised

Apr 16, 2019super funny, had some episodes 9,99/10- Anton R. Skovborg

Jan 12, 2019For me, this might actually be the best Family Guy season. I don't know, the humour just stands out to me as the most frickin' hilarious and the voice acting great as always. Maybe it's because this season averts Status Quo is God for once. Yeah, it turns out they were postponing the inevitable but still, the relationship with Brian and Jillian earns points for surviving this whole season. This season is good and it would only be 1 and a half more seasons before the show's downfall.

Dec 29, 2015This show is amazing!!!!!!!!

Jul 15, 2015The fifth season of Family Guy was, for me, where the show begins to cross the line a little bit with the jokes. The laughs in this season are fewer and the show is easier to skip over completely due to lack of ideas from the writing team. Using the same hand-drawn animation techniques employed in the first four seasons, this season isn't much different than the previous ones. If there had been one ideal time to end the show completely, it would've probably been during this season.

Jan 05, 2014Yikes, what happened here? One minute, everyone is rejoicing that Family Guy is back on the air and still relevant, the next it becomes a completely different show.
