The fifth season of the television series Family Guy commenced airing in the United States on September 10, 2006 with the episode "Stewie Loves Lois," and concluded on May 20, 2007, broadcasting a total of eighteen episodes. It continues to follow the life of The Griffins, a dysfunctional family consisting of Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris, Stewie and Brian, who reside in their hometown of Quahog, Rhode Island.

The season was subject to mixed reception from critics. Ahsan Haque of IGN wrote mixed comments about the season, saying that "The ratio of bad to good episodes wasn't too favorable in this season of Family Guy," After writing about Family Guy 's "quirky characters," such as Herbert and The Greased up Deaf Guy, Movie Web reviewed the season negatively, commenting that "the show began to hit a slight downward slope by utilizing these one-joke characters in more than one joke. This resulted in probably the weakest season for the series..." Following on from commenting on about Family Guy 's politically incorrect humour, Manisha Kanetkar of Smart House.com commented, in a review of the fifth season, that "the show doesn't see signs of tiring, with as many funny moments as ever."

Reception
Ahsan Haque of IGN rated the season a 6.9/10, saying "The ratio of bad to good episodes wasn't too favorable in this season of Family Guy. Far too many episodes were either seriously lacking in humor or were just plain poorly written. [...] There was a time when Family Guy was one of the most creative and funniest shows on television. During the pre-cancellation days, this was a show that was not to be missed. While much of the original appeal seems to have washed-off, there are still a few moments from this season that really stand out. Next season's premiere looks extremely promising, with a long retelling of the original Star Wars film that will definitely excite and entertain fans around the world."
