Unfortunately, Fox doesn’t release full seasons of Family Guy on DVD, but Season 6 has some great episodes.

The sixth volume includes 13 episodes from seasons five and six, and while it’s a bit upsetting that FOX still isn’t releasing the DVD sets as full seasons, this collection contains more than a few classic episodes. At the top of that list is the 100th episode itself, in which Stewie finally kills Lois after years of making empty death threats. Peter, however, is the one blamed for the murder, and when he’s put on trial one year later, Lois reemerges to reveal the identity of her real killer. This sets up the next (and even better) episode in which Stewie, who’s taken Brian hostage and headed to Washington, D.C. to take over the world, is hunted down by Lois and eventually killed by Peter. And if you’re wondering how Stewie manages to live after being shot in the head, well, let’s just say that MacFarlane and Co. are big fans of “Dallas.”

My other personal favorite is “McStroke,” where Peter grows a mustache only to have it singed off while saving someone from a fire. The man he saves is actually the owner of the local McBurgertown, and when Peter has a stroke from eating more than his share of complimentary burgers, he vows to sue the company. The episode contains everything that’s great about “Family Guy” – from quotable quotes (“With great mustache comes great responsibility”), clever cutaways (the Monopoly guy gets gang raped in jail), and even a “Monkees”-esque musical sequence that has Peter and Brian being chased by security guards through a hallway of doors.
