Summary: What The Simpsons Wish They Were
Review: With characters ranging from Death to a boy with an upside down face, Family Guy is the edgiest and funniest show to ever be on TV. Every episode is solid gold all the way from I Never Met the Dead Man down to Family Guy Viewer Mail #1. If I could only have one DVD to watch the rest of my life, it would be Family Guy Volume 1. It has over 600 minutes of entertainment, and I'm finding new jokes in every episode, because I missed them the first time from laughing so hard at the previous joke. Did that make sense? So, if you want to build a fort get some wood, but if you want to laugh non-stop buy Family Guy Volume 1.

Summary: Funny stuff!
Review: It's about darn time that this DVD came out in Australia. I've been waiting for it for ages! It used to be on TV here a while back but it was cancelled, buggered if I know why. The show was/is hilarious, I'm glad I held onto the few episodes I managed to tape whilst anticipating the release of a DVD collection. It's pretty silly how it's constantly compared to The Simpsons because as much as there are the blatantly obvious similarities, the show itself is in many ways very different overall. It's the sort of show which makes fun of itself as well as popular culture and famous icons. The skits and parodies are cleverly delivered, fast-paced and plentiful. It's right up there with Strangers With Candy.

Summary: AWESOME.... LOVE IT!!!!
Review: This is the most hilarious adult animated show EVER!!! Of course the quality of the DVD is excellent. Anyone reading this review: if you purchase this DVD set, you MUST watch the commentary on them. I have turned many friends into fans of this show. Thank you Amazon for having the DVD boxed set of all 3 seasons together for an exceptional price and thank you to Seth MacFarlane for creating such an awesome, humorous show..... Stewie is THE BEST (Stewart Gilligan Griffin....LOL)!! I hope new seasons will eventually return to TV in the future. Thank You!

Summary: Best animated series ever.
Review: What makes it so great? The comedy. The comedy NEVER runs dry. The show never stops being funny!
While simpsons lost their edge once those new guys who never even watched it took over, Family Guy is funny till the end.This first two seasons have 28, yes thats right, 28 episodes. About 20 minutes an episode, so you get A LOT. Plus, the dvd is only 35 bucks, while most other animted dvds and such are 30 dollars. Like dbz, which has you pay 30 bucks for 3 episodes. This movie though gives you your moneys worth, with almost a dollar and 50 cents an episode. You also get tons of laughs from Peter, and uhhhh, tons of laughs from Peter. Most still love the Simpsons, yea. Anyone can agree that the Simpsons have lost their touch. These 3 last seasons have been dry, and it just doesn't work anymore. Family Guy started great, and ends perfectly.

Review: This set has dozens of episodes from season's 1 and 2, and there'll all hilarious!!
When this show was on the air, I didn't watch it because I thought it was a rip-off of the Simpsons, but a friend of mine lent me his DVD set and now I wish I had a a perfectly spoken, sophisticated one year old and a talking dog.
At times it is more clever than the Simpsons, and to be honest, it doesn't do to compare it too much with the Simpsons. It's better to watch it with an open mind, and realise that it was the stuff like the Simpsons that opened the door for animated comedy like Family Guy, but that in no way means that this is a copy.
Family Guy is endearing, eccentric, ridiculous, over the top and quite offensive. The baby, Stewie, who is hell bent on...well...just hell bent in general, is one of the show's funniest characters. Brian, the cultivated dog with the power of deduction and human speech is always the white elephant in the room, or rather, the white dog.
It pokes satire at the media and American life, as well as New England in general. It isn't inane, repetative, or un-original. In fact, it is often funnier and more refreshing (as Bart Simpsons is actually turning 62 next week) than all other comedies, animated or otherwise.
Plus, sitcoms at the moment are completely inane and pandering in the lowest, most played out and predictable format, so watch this and you might find some actual wit, AND without the 1950's canned laughter.
Don't take my rant for it. Buy it for yourself, or a friend if you're worried that for some reason you won't want to keep it.

Summary: Hillarious
Review: True, this show is funnier than the simpsons, and I hope that's saying something. But as an overall show, I doubt Family Guy could stay on air for as many seasons as the Simpsons did and be as funny. So overall, the Simpsons is a funnier show. Back to this dvd. It's deffenitly a must have. My favorite episode would have to be when Meg accidently joins a colt instead of going to Stewies birthday party. It ends up that Stewie believes his birtday party is a secret plot to get him back in his moms womb. He then trains himself to defeat the man in white (the dr who delivered him) who is supposed to put him back in the womb.

Summary: Best cartoon show ever!!!!
Review: 1. What are the two episodes per disk people talking about?
There's 5 to 7 on all of them. 2. Simpson's folks - there is no comparison.
The two shows are too different.
This is not a copy; its more creative and hard edged.
The Simpson's is more polished; but Family Guy is
funnier. (Sorry, its the truth.) 3. For a 2 1/2 season show; I'll let DVD sales
and Cartoon Network ratings speak for me.
It has been reported in TV Guide that Adult Swim
is beating the ratings of Letterman, Leno and Kilborn
(each) in 18 to 34 males. (Amazing) 4. I watch a lot of TV but I never knew Family Guy existed
until it was already cancelled and they were showing
the last episodes on Thursday. (2 hour blocks)
If I didn't know about it; I doubt most others did.
So its ratings were actually amazing. 5. DAMN FOX TO HELL!!! Fox totally screwed this show!!!!!!!

Summary: ABOUT THE DVD..
Review: Other very detailed reviews already cover the episodes listing etc, so it's pointless to add to the clamour. The show is a witty and darkly hilarious look at our society, and fans of the show (which really should be anyone with a couple of brain cells or more) should definitely pick up this terrific set. I'll pitch in a word about the DVD itself. The show is presented in its original 1.33:1 full-frame aspect ratio. The picture quality is good, although there's the occasional issue with jagged lines that occasionally appear on the earlier episodes (an issue with the animation itself?) The picture does offer the show's bright color palette though, vivid and well-saturated throughout. No instances of edge enhancement or pixelation appeared, as do on some of The Simpsons DVDs. The sountrack is Dolby 2.0 and my copy has subtitles in English, French and Spanish. The show's dialogue remains crisp and forward throughout, with the surround sound providing some reinforcement for music and occasional sound effects. Audio quality is superb, as sound effects remained clear (and occasionally punchy) throughout. Plus, the extras are great. Creator Seth McFarlane and various members of the cast and crew provide commentaries, there are over 20 deleted "scenes" provided in animatic (moving storyboards) form, the original pilot pitch (a rough, shortened version of the pilot episode), a 7-minute featurette on how the show pushed the envelope across its three seasons and a 17-minute documentary that takes a look at the overall series, from development to characters the voice talent. If you want to own a fab show, get these couple of seasons. The DVD is worth every penny and probably a little better than the 3rd season.

Summary: The best darn show ever!
Review: The family guy in my opinion and all of my friends opinions is the funniest show ever made. It is about a family who go through insane hilarious plots in each episode. It stars Peter Griffin as the father of three children and a husband to his loving wife Lois Griffin. The children are Chris -who is pretty much a younger version of his father (fat and stupid), Meg is the teenage girl always getting embarrassed by her parents while she is trying to be cool, and Stewie who is a babie evil genius who is always trying different ways to control the world and kill his mother Lois. There is also a family dog who can talk named Bryan who is always being sarcastic and making fun of Peter. These are the elements for a great television show like the Family Guy. If you buy these volumes you will not be sorry but will be laughing your head off.
