Rating: Summary: Not very good Review: I guess Family Guy has some funny moments, but I completely agree that Family Guy is a complete copy of The Simpsons. I think for the most part it's pretty boring and never makes you laugh nearly as much as the Simpsons. All in all, I don't think Family Guy is worth buying.
Rating: Summary: copy of the simpsons Review: I know every one who reads this will taunt me with negitive comments but hear me out. Family guy is a complete copy of the simpsons, especially there early seasons. Simply look at the charecters ( Peter= homer, both stupid, middle class, fat, look very similir. Stewy= maggie, matt groaning desighned maggie with great charm in that she is mute, they were creative in expresing her inteligence through her actions not throgh stupid lectures stewy gives.) The writers are extreamly bad at concealing the use of old simpsons jokes too which if you watch episodes of family guy are clearly similir to early simpsons jokes. Also the fact that when the simpsons begain they writers created a joke file which contained jokes to be place inj episodes for future use came to be in the hands of Family guys writers proves there lack of creativity. It ticks me off so much to watch a show which is a complete rip off of another show. The simpsons are so origional and funny but family guy just tries to make it as contiversal as posible so itll look cool to watch.
Rating: Summary: Occasionally funny, mostly just stupid Review: I bought these DVDs with high expectations, and they were not met. If you want clever humor, or even jokes that make sense more often than not, look elsewhere. First of all, the cast and premise are shamelessly lifted from the Simpsons. Its almost pathetic, a fat dopey dad, a nagging wife, a brother sister and a baby...where have I seen that in cartoon form before? The majority of the plots are just pretext for Peter's stupid mugging and most of the jokes either fall flat, make no sense, or get a couple of cheap laughs. The show tries to "push the envelope" but it just comes out boring. The episodes usually contain some totally inane cut scene that has nothing to do with anything other than trying to get a few more laughs out of the morons who thing MTV is substantive. People who watch this show and think it's coherent need to turn off the TV and read an actual book with an actual plot. That being said, Stewie is the shows only saving grace, since he is the only character who is not either a total retread of something we have already seen 100 times or a cardboard cutout. His espisodes are actually clever since they don't focus on Peter falling down, getting drunk or farting. If you want a show with clever jokes, watch The Simpsons. If you want a show that has a semblence of a plot or an attempt at an actual message, watch South Park. If you are a dope with zero attention span who likes meaningless 30 second sound bites, this is the DVD for you.
Rating: Summary: great comedy - some boring moments Review: this dvd is definitely worth the dollars. with tons of funny episodes, it's sure to keep you laughing. peter, brian, stewie, and others all have their own interesting quirks. these characters come together to form a truly entertaining show.i guess the only thing keeping this from 5 stars is the frequent slow moments in which a plot twist or event is dragged on for too long. Also, chris and meg aren't the most dynamic of characters, and family guy would probably be more intersting if they were more developed

Rating: Summary: Greatest Cartoon on Earth Review: The Family Guy is the funniest cartoon ever. Peter is a fat moron who doesn't have a clue about the Earth and he loves drinking beer and watching Tv. The rest of his family include Stewie the little baby who wants to conquer the world. Brina he martini loving dog, Lois his wife who tries to keep him in order, Chris who will probably grow up to be just like his dad, and Meg, the teenage drama queen. This family get sinto all sorts of predicaments but it's so funny. Peter always gives up time that would be spent with his kids to go hang out with his friends. This show is so great and i'm glad it will be coming back in January next year.
Rating: Summary: Buy this now. Review: The snap cases take some getting used to. Beyond that, I have no complaints. Well, maybe that there needs to be more of these episodes, more seasons! I have watched these episodes over and over, with friends and by myself, and I never grow tired of them.
Rating: Summary: Family Guy Season One and Two Review: This show is the funniest animated show I have ever seen. It puts Futurama in second place and the simpsons in third. It has some very memorable characters. I can't believe FOX cancelled this show. They should give to a better network anyway. FOX stinks! An absolute must for any comedy lover, animated or not.
Rating: Summary: FAMILY GUY RULES! Review: Family Guy is unquestionably the best animated series ever! For those who like other shows such as The Simpsons or South Park, this is much better. Family Guy Vol.1 features the first and second seasons of the show, season two containing the funniest episodes of the series including "E. Peturbus Unium" and "Wasted Talent" while the first season also contains great episodes including "Death Has A Shadow". I recomend to go out and buy this becuase the DVD sales are bringing the show back, so go out and BUY BUY BUY! Support the cuase of great televison!
Rating: Summary: Family guy is the best Review: Family guy is the funniest comedy I've seen, every episode is a ton of laughs, with stewie the baby genius bent on world domination, Peter the fat man who is a combination of cartman and Homer Simpsons. Along with Peter theres his wife and his daughter, and adopted son, and of course Peter's friends. If you find this dvd get it it's worth your money.
