Volume five of American Dad actually has some of the season four episodes on it. Volume 4 had the first six episodes of season four and this one has the remaining fourteen episodes. The highlights of the season, for me, are the episodes Bar Mitzvah hustle, in which Steve steals the Bar Mitzvah gifts of a kid who steals the girl he likes, and Stan's Night Out, which is a total play on the movie The Hangover, when a "boy's night" for Stan with his CIA coworkers goes awry.
For those who get the DVD set, there are commentary tracks on every episode, deleted scenes, and an option to play the uncensored version of the episodes. There are also trivia and drinking game featurettes. So, there is a lot of bonus material if you like going through it.
Overall, the show continues to be very strong. It is a story (or stories) of the week format, but it does sometimes refer back to events from prior episodes. It is most definitely not a show for kids despite being animated as there are a ton of adult jokes and swearing. So, if you are a fan of the show, this is a good pickup.
