"American Dad!" volume 4 4/28/09
Just announced on TV Shows on DVD.com
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com
Apparently, the better of Seth MacFarlane's 2 (going on 3) animated shows will feature 13 episodes rather than the usual 18-19 eps--but with the same price as the previous 2 volume, (Grrrr...)
The episodes are (I'm guessing) are as follows:
Why they don't include "Escape From Pearl Bailey" and "Phantom of the Telethon", since they were out from the same cluster of episodes? Who knows?
Hopefully it will have the usual assortment of audio commentaries and deleted scenes (usually excised for content rather than quality).
Also, will it have the deleted scenes from the episodes they skipped on volume 3.

glad to see the next Christmas episode make it to dvd. But its complete bullshit they start pulling the same shit they do on the Family Guy dvds by putting only 13 episodes on a three disc set. But I shouldn't really complain I will still buy it.

Did anyone pick it up this week? Why did Fox ditch the 3 slim cases in a cardboard box for a clear dvd case with all three discs in it. Cutting Costs? Kind of unfair for the consumer.
Plus it would have been nice to include the episode air dates on the packaging.

What exactly is "unfair" about a packaging change like this? Is the primary purpose of buying this set not for the actual episodes it contains? Them charging the same price for this set, which has less episodes than past sets, is something I could consider being unfair. This, to me, seems more like something that would piss off anal collectors.

I picked up a 2 pack of seasons 1 and 2 at Target last week for $19.99. I think this show has gotten infinitely better as it's gone on, but I couldn't pass it up for 10 bucks per season. I'll probably get this release when it inevitably goes on sale a few months from now.

I am just mad they changed the packaging after its been done the same way for 3 previous sets. It doesn't have episodes airdates so I don't know if they are in order on the dvds. Except for "The Most Adequate Christmas Ever" on disc 3, which should have been on the volume 3 set.

My biggest pet peeve ever is packaging change. Terribly annoying to me. I hope this doesnt mean the next Family Guy volume will be the same way.

If you look at the packaging pictured in the announcement of the latest Family Guy set, the spine looks completely different from the format they've held to for all of the previous seasons. So I'm guessing that its probably going to be a plastic case this time around.
Count me in with those who hate packaging changes. Hate.
