It's Me, Peter"). The season includes the 300th episode of the series (“Dog Bites Bear”) where Stewie's friendship with Brian is nearly destroyed when he drunkenly tears apart his teddy bear Rupert.
The big "event" of Season 13 of Family Guy was the crossover with The Simpsons in which the Griffons find themselves in Springfield. All of the major Simpsons characters appeared, and there were inside jokes and callbacks to things from the past of both shows. From there, the season pretty much played out as it always has, basically having a storyline or two of the week in a given episode, but not really any kind of story arc extending through the season.
Still, theres little getting away from the fact that season five lacks the spark that energised the superb first two or three series, and as a result, there are episodes here that are good where they were once great. There are, still, plenty of examples of the old magic, and its still primarily a real pleasure thats pretty much guaranteed to raise laughs from those who dont mind their entertainment with a bit of edge. But itll be interesting to see where Family Guy goes from here, and whether its real glory days are permanently consigned to the past.
