Summary: It Really Doesn't Get Any Better Than This
Review: I used to think that "South Park" was the funniest, most original, most offensive show on television. And then, I saw "Family Guy". I remember watching it when it was still on the air and thinking how refreshing it was. You'd laugh for a full 22 minutes, and most of the time you'd feel guilty about it. Why? Because it pushed the envelope, most often just a little too far, and you couldn't help but think to yourself, "I am going to hell for laughing at this." But that's why it was so great.Unlike "South Park", "Family Guy" was a lot more mature. It didn't rely so much on potty humor and potty mouth, because it didn't have to. Just take, for instance, the family that we have here, the Griffins. There's Peter, the father and husband, who is a lot like Homer Simpson, only less yellow and with a bigger love for beer. He is lazy and not that bright. Then again, neither was Homer. Then there's Lois, the mother and wife who seems so normal and nice, you wonder why she's married to Peter. Then, there are the children: Chris, who is a bit chubby but kind-hearted and loves to draw; Meg who is a typical teenaged girl who wants to drive and get plastic surgery; and Stewie - the most complex character of all. He's just a little itty bitty baby, yet he speaks in an English accent, using big words, has a huge football-shaped head (probably to fit his large brain), likes to build complex machines such as time travelling ones, and - oh yeah - he wants to kill his mother. The biggest mystery about Stewie (one that's even been addressed in a couple of episodes, but never answered) is, can anyone hear him when he talks, other than the audience? The question goes unanswered, but we at least know that the family dog, Brian, hears him. Brian is another interesting character. He looks a bit like Snoopy, but that's where the similarities end. He likes to drink martinis, and he talks (he often is giving Peter sound advice - which Peter never takes). Every episode seems to find Peter trying to undo something bad that he did, but it never gets old. In fact, each of the 28 episodes are brilliant - there isn't a dud in the whole set. I remember the feeling I had when I found out that Fox had pulled "Family Guy" from their line-up. It really truly was the funniest show on television at the time, and it angered me that people were claiming it was offensive. But it doesn't matter now, because all of the episodes are coming out on DVD. Even if we aren't getting any new ones, the ones on the DVD can be viewed multiple times before they even start to get boring. You don't get much for special features here - pretty much just two commentaries each on each of the four discs. But you really don't need special features with a show this good. If you ever saw at least one episode and found yourself laughing, I strongly urge you to buy this DVD. The price is great for all that you get, which is hours of pure enjoyment. I guarentee you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Funniest primetime cartoon ever made.
Review: I don't think Fox had banked on Family Guy being the success it did when it came out in 1999. They had banked on Futurama being the hit show and Family Guy just being filler material until they decided to pull the plug and put another show with an awful concept in it's place. Even in the beginning, Family Guy got a bad wrap of being told it was nothing but a rip off of the Simpsons. And the Simpsons, who were obviously threatened by Family Guy's success took a shot at the show placing Peter Griffin in with Homer's reject clones. Fox obviously thought Family Guy had no chance of being a success. But they were absolutely wrong. Family Guy was a hit and Futurama was not the success they had hoped for. But they couldn't be wrong, so they did their best to sabotage Family Guy by placing the show in various timeslots where people would not watch it because of more popular shows on other channels. Until they decided to pull the plug on Family Guy and keep Futurama, despite the fact Futurama really was not that funny. I felt it was the Critic all over again. But Fox's loss has proven to be Cartoon Network's gain as they are now showing all the old episodes of Family Guy. And at it's 11:30pm timeslot (incidentally right after Futurama), it's beating out both Letterman and Leno in the ratings. And now I am very pleased to see that all of the first and second season have been released on video. With the last season to be released very soon. If you think the first two seasons were good, Family Guy only gets better by the last season. Funnier than the Simpon's have been for the longest time. But I am very happy to see Family Guy enjoying the success it deserves on Cartoon Network. I would highly recommend this DVD set. If you haven't seen this series as of yet, you really must watch was has to be the funniest and smartest primetime cartoon ever to be on television.

Summary: Best Animated Show EVER
Review: Family Guy is, in my opinion, is one of THE greatest TV show ever to grace the television set. Beware: you must have a good sense of humor to enjoy Family Guy to its fullest! The witty humor and constant obscure TV references add up to many gut-grabbing laugh attacks no matter what episode you watch. I've probably watched the first volume at least 20 times over so far. FOX never should have cancelled the show, but all good things can't last forever, so order your copy today and enjoy the medicine of laughter!

Summary: Quite possibly one of the top 10 cartoons...ever
Review: Upon Family Guy's debut after the 1999 Superbowl, Fox had a hit that had sparked a major public interest. Combining elements of The Simpsons and The Critic, Family Guy is the perfect hybrid of comedic genius. While such racy shows as South Park may have hogged the spotlight, Family Guy was able to hold its own on and off for 3 seasons. What makes this show so interesting is the style of animated comedy used. Often in the show, the characters will say something along the lines of "you remember what happened when...," and a ridiculously funny flashback will show some whacky situation. For instance, in one episode Peter, the father, recalls his Mexican relative training as a cockfighter (Peter's relative is about 8 inches tall, wearing boxing gloves, and beating up a chicken) Bottom line, this show has a lot of ridiculous humor and I strongly recommend the DVD set for anyone who misses the show.

Summary: In 1 word: Brilliant
Review: I don't possibly see how this show was cancelled, and King of the Hill wasn't. In most episodes of King of the Hill I find myself to not even laugh once. Family Guy was just so great words can't describe it. In watching any episode you are entitled to laugh every 20-40 seconds, seriously. In my own opinion (and I know many of you will disagree) Family Guy is greater than Simpsons and South Park. I would not recommend this to any person who is the typical family guy/girl though, or to anyone who doesnt take too kindly to racial comments or anything of that sort. Though its not as near as profane as South Park, but its still just as hilarious. Seth Macfarlane, the creator, is just unbelievable. If you have seen the show and know how Peter Griffen, Brain (the dog), and Stewie (the supergenius one-year-old baby) AND Quagmire (the horny next door neighbor) speak, you will be surprised to hear they are all the voice of Seth Macfarlane. It's aslo a nice neat little fact to know that Seth Green (The Italian Job, Austin Powers) is the voice of Chris Griffen, my favorite character. I love the voice that Seth Green uses for him. All in all, this is a great collection and I recommend it to any fan of the Simpsons or South Park. The extras are weak, but opposed to what others say, I love the commentary on the few episodes its on, you will catch stuff you wont notice otherwise and they are just hilarious. The series contains all [28] episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 and I'll add its worth whatever price you purchase them for. Hours of laughter.

Summary: The best cartoon show ever
Review: Family Guy is the funniest show. I am very sad that the seasons have ended. I just got the Family Guy series on DVD A week ago. I bought it because when i watched on Cartoon Network on Mon-Thu at 11:30, after Futurama it made me laugh so hard that i got the first two seasons. If you like Family Guy you need to buy Family Guy Vol 1, on DVD. Also get Family Guy Vol 2, season 3 on DVD in September. R.I.P

Summary: Funniest series ever
Review: This is one of my all time favorite series. The DVD set is really good, with four discs and a few commentaries. Family Guy is the most original and funniest show I've ever seen. The references to pop culture icons and other jokes will have you rolling on the floor. A must buy.

Summary: Why didn't I watch this show when it was on TV?
Review: This is one of those shows that sneaks up on you. Rarely watched it when it was on tv, but now in re-runs, I've found that I really missed something very funny. Off-the-wall, bizzare, and crude, the humor goes from one extreme to another.

Summary: Wow
Review: Wow!
This is an amazing DVD. I feel obligated to share my enjoyment with the rest of you. If you have feeling of this DVD being to expensive, don't. This DVD will pay for the money over and over and over again. This DVD is 624 well over 5 movies worth. This series is so creative it is amazing. I enjoy it more than the simpsons. Buy it!
