ooooooh, you looked at a dvd-cover. then it must be true right???
fox wanted te boost dvd-sales, and thus the 4th season was 'cut' in half so
they could sell a season 4 and season 5 dvd-set in one year. so technically it
is season 6. however people using a brain can see that a season is one year
long. so one might say that this is season 5.
honestly, if that's the reason for nuking it most people shouldn't bother
redownloading. i never saw those frames posted. and even using step forward on
mpc i didn't see them...
they cut season 4 in half for the dvd releases. season 5 has not been put onto
dvd yet. the dvd release's go like this:
season 1 (7 episodes) and season 2 (21 eps) = family guy vol.1 dvd
season 3 (22 eps) = family guy vol.2 dvd
season 4 (30* eps) = family guy vol.3 & family guy vol.4
season 5 = currently airing dvd due out fall 2007
^ the tv broadcast season consisted of 30 episodes, only 27 were included on
volume 3 and 4, with the tv versions of the movie being left off. currently if
you want the entire collection 4th season episodes you will need to have
volume 3, volume 4, and the movie. it is unknown if the tv versions will be
included on a future volume release
the best source i have ever found for family guy eps (the most accurate,
because word has it, the actual staff memebers do updates on it) is the family
guy epsisode list on wikipedi
also, if you search for family guy there you'll notice that season's 1-4 come in
separate box sets.
it's also noted on the wiki page that pal territories have different season
numbers. plus the first 3 seasons are mixed between the first 2 volumes. here
they're they're just referred to as the seasons they appear on dvd.
