Family Guy, Vol. 1 (Seasons 1 & 2)

Summary: The most quotable show of all time
Review: This DVD set of the first two seasons is absolutely hilarious. Every episode is a ten with the exception of a few, which are 8 and 9s (on a scale of 10).

This show is for people who enjoy random and edgy comedy that makes fun pop culture. All the characters are funny in their own way, Chris the son is probably the least likable, but he has occasional one liners. You can't really compare the show to The Simpson's, they're just different shows. The ambiance of each is so different that they're incomparable. I mean they have a talking dog in this show, common!

Usually, babies talking as grownups don't work, but in this show, Stewie is hilarious. The writers have done a wonderful job of showing the world through baby's eyes and made him multidimensional by making him a matricidal anarchist. He has some classic lines in the show that are absolutely memorable. He is the most articulate person/baby on TV (I'm aware of Frasier).

"It seems with death incapacitated my matricidal efforts are futile."

"Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but you're a total bitch."
Lois: "Oh, I haven't been on a college campus in years. Everything seems so different."
Stewie: "Really? Perhaps if you laid on your back with your ankles behind your ears that would ring a few bells."

Seth McFarland, who does most of the voices on the show is a true genius. You can hear him on the commentary on some of the episodes, he is probably one of the funniest people you'll ever hear commenting.

It is just a refreshing break from normal TV, and I think that is why it is so successful, because it's one of a kind. There aren't any moral messages or political opinions, it's just plain fun.

Highly recommended.

In My Humble Opionion

Summary: I'm sorry, but
Review: I just don't get the appeal this show. It's probably (I hope) been said before, but this is such a Simpsons rip off, I just can't understand why anyone would be into it. It's like a dumb version of the Simpsons with all the worst aspects of the later years of the Simpsons and none of the good stuff. It tries so hard to be controversial and shocking, it's rather sad and transparent.

Summary: Hilariously Edgy Comedy
Review: Very few people today have not heard of the comedic masterpiece that is Family Guy. It is a cartoon comedy that revolves around a dysfunctional American family in Rhode Island, and their comedic exploits. Using humor that is sometimes edgy, sometimes offensive, but always funny, the show takes jabs at society, politics, and life in general. It is definitely one of the top comedies of all of time, and a must-buy for anyone who wants laughs for a more sophisticated audience.

Summary: Excellent

Summary: Best animated comedy on TV on a great DVD set!
Review:
This animated comedy show debuted in early 1999, definitely pushed the buttons on values and taste with great laughs. It's about this dysfunctional family who are called " The Griffens", Peter Griffen is the lovable dummy of a father whom loves his family very much & never enjoys too much fun even if it's on his mind. Chris is the 13 year son whom is also dumb like his dad, Meg is the teenage daughter that seems shy around her friends when she's with her family, Brian is the talking walking human-like dog, Lois is the gorgeous woman of the house and Stewie is the highly intelligent talking infant who has a plot for taking over the world.

This show is most definitely one of the funniest and most outrageous animated shows on TV! it did got canned in 2002, but luckily Adult Swim on "Cartoon Network" has gotten big time ratings with some new episodes coming out this year and has gained a huge cult following for it's wackiness, deadpan humor and satire.

This Boxset contains the first two seasons with three of my personal favorite episodes "Death is a B*&^%&", "Road to Rhode Island" and "Waste Talent" on this 3 Disc set that contains original Internet spots to promote the show, audio commentaries by the show's makers and a featurette behind the scenes on the show.

I highly recommend this excellent animated comedy series to animation's fans and is definitely worthy to be in a animation lover's DVD collection alongside "Futurama" and " The Simpsons".

Summary: Lucky there's a Family Guy!!
Review: I never watched this show before a friend of mine mentioned it. I've watched this entire box set now and I'm completely hooked. This is one of the best animated shows, it's hilarious. My favorite character is Peter, he's made me laugh more times than I can count..but all the other characters are wonderful as well. I hope they bring this show back, it's too good to keep off television!! Episodes not to miss: Dammit, Janet and He's Too Sexy For His Fat
