Summary: Fantastic DVD with disappointing revelations
Review: You can read any number of glowing reviews to find out how I feel about this DVD, after all, Family Guy is a fantastic show, and I am glad to have my paltry 3 seasons preserved on DVD. Fox has given us a DVD thats a little light on the extra features, but what is there is fun.
My great dispair that renders a 4 star rating is the fact that during one of the commentaries they congratulate people who buy the dvd's and can get through 50 of them. Unless they are hidden away on the disc somewhere, I want all of the commentaries that were recorded for the DVD. Often while watching an episode, I wonder what the writers have to say about a moment and I check to see if the commentary is offered for that episode, only to find that it isn't. Now I find that a commentary was recorded for the episode, but not included on the DVD. Why waste the time of the actors/writers/producers?
Instead, we only have 14 to listen to, and if Fox was going to omit most of the commentaries, they should have been more judicious about which ones to cut. I admit I would have been upset not to have a commentary for When You Wish Upon a Weinstein, but I now know I would have rather had a commentary for a different episode. Few insights were given, just one writer's ranting and repition of the same gripe. I sympathized the first time he mentioned it, the 7th time, however, made me want to shove a pencil in my ear.
All this to say, purchase the DVD. The show itself is great. However, the extra features aren't quite what they could be, namely the commentaries (which, for whats there, are fun for the most part).

Summary: Finally
Review: I wonder if getting cancelled was the best thing that could have happened to the Family Guy, Fox's brilliant animated series. The fact is that the Family Guy wasn't cancelled for lack of interest or ratings problems - it was cancelled for being too edgy and the humor maybe too (gulp) sophisticated for the average television viewer tuning in to watch two strangers get married or to see a person eat a bug.You will find esoteric references to popular 70's and 80's television commercials and sitcoms (the Kool Aid guy busting through the wall is my personal favorite) as well as irreverent digs on everyone from the Make a Wish Foundation to the Pope. If you've seen the show or even just heard about it, buy both volumes. You'll get addicted and annoy your friends and family by trying to reenact the plotlines while doing a poor New Englander dialect. If you're an ardent fan, then definitely buy it. Several episodes have commentaries by Seth Macfarlane, Seth Green, and various writers giving insight into the show on every level. There are also featurettes included that take you behind the scenes. I promise you'll love it, and

Summary: Overrated
Review: Brian is the only character that doesn't make me want to rip all of my hair out. Stewie used to be my favorite character, but he's not as evil anymore. I nearly died when I saw him try to comfort Peter at that sporting event. Disgusting. This show does better without recurring themes, like when Peter's boss dies and he's a fisherman. AWFUL. We have to put up with that idiocy for the rest of the season. Family Guy was absolutely hilarious the first 2 seasons, but it ran out of steam very quickly. But, how long can you outright copy other shows (King of the Hill, The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, etc.) and still be funny?

Summary: Family Guy, we barely knew thee!
Review: With the release of this boxed set, you can now own the third and final season of the short-lived but outstanding cartoon series "Family Guy." The 22 episodes from this season are, overall, quite hilarious. The commentary is frequently as enjoyable as the episodes, as various members of cast and crew discuss the creation process, animation, writing, censorship, etc. The last two episodes in this set are very memorable. The last aired episode explores three pieces of "viewer mail" -- three bizarre scenarios like wishes from a genie in a bottle, superpowers from toxic waste, and "Little Rascals," Quahog style. The last episode didn't make it on the air. Tasteless but side-splitting jokes about Judaism obviously didn't please censors and network officials. It's well worth it to own all three seasons (two boxed sets) of this show. The writers constantly push the boundaries of taste, tact, and television censorship. Television wasn't ready for "Family Guy," but you should be ready to own every episode!

Summary: All in the Family
Review: An equal-opportunity offender, "Family Guy" took the standard sitcom family, added an erudite talking dog and a leather-fetishist baby set on world domination, and let the jokes fly at a dizzying pace. It's an acquired (bad) taste that rewards the few, the willing with big-time laughs. "Season 3" comes in a three-disc set that looks and feels like the studio's splendid "Simpsons" boxes. (Fox' ani sets are a lot like TV itself -- slick presentation, familiar formats, few sudden turns). Creator Seth MacFarlane and his work buddies render commentary on selected episodes, sounding like they're in the middle of a beer bust, or recovering from one. Fox adds an adult-material warning, for good reason. Bonus features are a lot more generous than on volume 1. Two decent featurettes, "Uncensored" and "Series Overview," will orient disoriented newcomers. Animatics revive 28 deleted scenes, some pretty funny. MacFarlane's animated pitch, a rough version of the pilot episode, unspools in its entirety. Fans get their holy grail with "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," an episode rejected by Fox. The story, about the Family Guy's imbecilic beliefs about Jews and money, made it to post, but then Fox "chickened out," MacFarlane says. Archie Bunker never would have made it onto the air in the PC era, he and his pals conclude.

Summary: Damn you all!
Review: just as the previous DVD, season one and two, season three is a must have for all family guy lovers. especially if you want to see the never before shown episode that caused some controversey, not sure, but why but it did, this last and final season is all here in this vol. II edition, that all fans of family guy will love, as the previous the same navigation and some extras...

Summary: Greatest Show of All Time
Review: In a day when The Simpsons has lost its edge, its truely depressing to see one of the smartest, funniest shows finish with only 3 seasons. Family Guy is the greatest cartoon ever created, hands down. I am also a fan of shows such as futurama and the simpsons, but Family Guy is the greatest hands down. Buy this DVD as well as the first 2 seasons in volume 1, you will not regret it. YOU WILL LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF.
