Summary: Funniest show on tv
Review: This has to be one of the best cartoons ever produced, theres no denying the satirical boundaries of comic evolution that this show crosses. The blatantly ridiculous scenarios in which the characters are portrayed is revolutionary, this type of comedy has never been seen before... Brilliant.

Summary: She's gonna breathe on it foist
Review: What a great show. Words cannot describe the hilarity and shock you'll experience when you watch these first two seasons. In terms of gross-out, twisted-but-funny humor, only South Park can compete with Family Guy, which was too over the top for FOX. I'll let that sink in...this show was too over the top for FOX-that's frickin awesome. It's too bad that shows like this get cancelled and others like Who Wants To Marry a Construction Worker With a Horrible Monotone stay on the air. Since FOX no longer broadcasts Family Guy and you can only see this genius show on Cartoon Network, buy this DVD set. Cherish it like it is your first-born child. Randy Newman's song alone is worth the price.

Summary: It's not that frickin funny!!
Review: I finally watched these DVDs because everyone said how hilarious these shows are. I've seen a lot funnier stuff. I have to admit I do laugh sometimes during this show and it should have been kept on air. I'd actually give this DVD 3 1/2 stars if I could. I recommend South Park or the hilarious/ awesome Clerks cartoon. See ya.

Summary: Too Insensitive, Too Satirical, and Too Good for Network TV
Review: I remember during the 1999 NFL Playoffs, FOX had heavily hyped Family Guy just as much as it promoted the Super Bowl XXXIII, which of course, was a laugher. Much like the clash between the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons was nothing but hype, I was assured that Family Guy was nothing but just a Simpsons-looking ripoff. Instead of deriding it further, I just fell in love with Family Guy, although various highly acclaimed critics and a major proportion of FOX viewers, a lot of them, Simpsons fans thought otherwise. Furthermore, it was a darn shame that FOX did not have a whole lot of faith in the show, as it was shuffled in and out of lineups, like a baseball utility player. Sadly, instead of emerging as one of the marquee shows of the network, it was just thrown aside as an eccentric experimental show gone awry (i.e. Culture Clash, Andy Richter). Aside from all the bad press it received, Family Guy is fresh, offensive, and just downright hysterical. By far, it was edgier than the acceptable PG-rated norm, The Simpsons, pushing the ante for witty, satirical potty humor.Family Guy follows the Simpsonic mold of characters. The series revolves around the Griffin family of Quahog, Rhode Island. The patriarch is Peter, your overly healthy average joe who works at a toy company and is basically your Homer Simpson-type. His wife is Lois, a redhead New England-accented average TV housewife. Meg is Peter and Lois' angst-filled teenage daughter, who like most teenagers, fights the uphill battle to fit in at school. Chris is the older son, who is a lunkhead like his old man. Then, we have everyone's favorite cartoon infant, Stewie, a wide-headed baby who speaks eloquently with an over-the-top British accent, obsessed with killing his mother for bringing him into this world and like your typical James Bond megalomaniac, he is after world domination. The Griffins' dog is Brian, a pooch that can walk, talk, and can become a drunken, sarcastic bum. As far as the episodes go on this DVD set, there are 28 episodes in all, Seasons 1 and 2 in their entirety. Each episode is a guilty treat guaranteed to laugh yourself silly. Here are my personal favorites from the first two seasons: Death Has a Shadow: The pilot episode. Peter is fired when he shows up to work extremely hung over and he receives a $150,000 welfare check by accident. When Lois reveals this ugly tidbit, Peter tries to save face by dumping money back to the taxpayers off a blimp over the Super Bowl. I Never Met the Dead Man: When Peter teaches Meg to drive, Peter accidentally knocks out the city's cable by colliding into a satellite dish and he makes Meg the culprit, to avoid cruel and unusual punishment. Stewie attempts to destroy all vegetables by building a weather control device, when Lois forced him to eat his broccoli. A Hero Sits Next Door: Peter becomes annoyed of his new next-door neighbor, Joe, a handicapped man who Peter was forced to invite to play on his company's baseball team. Because Joe emerges the sentimental favorite from his baseball-playing stint, Peter tries to become a hero by attempting to foil a bank robbery. Death is a B!tch: Peter visits the doctor, worried that he has a lump in his breast. So that he does not have to pay a cent, Peter proclaims himself dead. Much hilarity ensues when Death attempts to claim Peter afterward. The King Is Dead: Lois is the new artistic director of the Quahog Players theatre group and she plans to direct The King and I as her first production. For Peter to stop annoying her, Lois makes him the producer and he converts The King and I into a raunchy cyborg fighting extravaganza. Road to Rhode Island: If I had to pick my very favorite episode, it's this one. Brian goes to pick up Stewie from visiting his grandparents in Palm Springs, and they miss their flight home due to Brian's drunkenness. The two set off back home on a heck of an adventure. Meanwhile, Lois forces Peter to watch relationship communication tapes, which turn out to be porn. You can make a viable case for each episode to be a favorite because each one is laugh-out-loud funny, of course, some more than others. In summation, Family Guy is a very well-developed, well-executed comedy, which should be taken with light-hearted humor through its peak moments of rudeness. It is a hysterical riot worthy of a second crack on the airwaves, but since the likeliness of that happening looks bleak, there is more incentive into buying this extremely enjoyable DVD set.

Summary: One of the funniest shows on TV
Review: This show was full of funny (often offensive) humor. If you can accept that at least they offend everyone, then you can laugh hysterically with the rest of us fans. I can't believe they took this off TV and left all of the mostly boring and definitely not funny reality shows.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: This show was great. Very funny, witty, and very satirical. It's a shame shows this good don't last.
When I first watched it I thought it was going to be a Simpsons knock off but it stands up on it's own with jokes/gags even the Simpsons wouldn't dare try.
Hey Seth! Why not continue the series on DVD? If Disney can make direct to DVD movies, why not make a direct to DVD series? Think about it!
If you like the Simpsons, you'll love this show.

Summary: This show is good, but over rated
Review: I have watched every episode on this DVD set and I'll admit it is a good show, it is not in my opinion brilliant as some reviews have said. It has some laughs, but the characters have no credibility and I found it hard to get into the episodes with the constant flashbacks. I just couldn't believe on average the show received a 4 1/2 star rating here on amazon, but it is worth watching.

Summary: Good release!
Review: This four dvd set includes 28 episodes (seasons one and two) of the "Family Guy" series. The episodes are easy to access and the extras include commentary from the creative group behind the show on some of the episodes.
For those not familiar with "Family Guy," it is set in Quahog, Rhode Island and follows the adventures of the Griffin Family whose members include loud, offish dad Peter, harried mother Lois, nerdy teen son Chris, social loser teen daughter Meg, evil baby genius Stewie, and wry, sardonic family dog Brian. I think that fans of the show will really appreciate having this set. I can't wait for the next batch of shows to be released!
