Summary: Seth Macfarlane is a genius... in the cartoon world
Review: Not quite the Simpsons, not quite the Flintstones, a little bit wrong, but all is right in the end. Hilarious, risque, crossing the line, and a little blurry (joke from Running Mates), it's the best way to describe this phenomenal series from creator Seth Macfarlane.For those of you who cannot take a joke well, don't bother. Peter Griffin et al poke fun at most any group they can. Whether it's Disney, high school teachers, the press, Republicans, etc..., there are few lines that Family Guy does not cross. You should realize, though, that the mindless ramblings of a middle-class male chauvenist do not speak the minds of the creators or the message behind the episode. Rather, it is the opposite that typically is the message. Life's lessons are learned through the ludicrous and lurid. You simply have to accept the humor value behind it all and ignore the joke seeing it for what it is. If you have an open mind and enjoy comedy that pokes fun of society and its flaws, this is the DVD collection for you. And don't forget to pick up Season Three, also available on DVD.

Summary: Excellent series.
Review: As someone posted here, this set contains 28 episodes (entire first and second season by air dates) and the unaired episode When You Wish Upon a Weinstein (which would've been part of the 2nd season by production number). Despite no pages having this information yet, if you check the front cover you can clearly see it states 'Seasons 1 & 2'. These are the seasons according to air dates.
Eight episodes total will have commentaries, and word has it there are other features. These features don't count towards the running time of the set. All in all an excellent series. Family Guy packed as much humor as it could in every episode without ever overdoing it. It's comedic style is very different from the Simpsons and South Park (more pop-culture oriented), but i personally find it superior and more clever. The production quality is excellent and constant from the very first season (unlike the Simpsons). Probably best of all is Seth Macfarlane's outstanding job giving the voices of Peter, Brian and Stewie. Excellent story lines with a remarkable and memorable cast of characters. Definitely my favorite animated TV show of all time. This set is the first part of a two volume collection. Unfortunately Family Guy was only three seasons long when it got canned by Fox.

Summary: best show ever
Review: I can't even begin to explain how perfect this show is. but all I can say is that one episode made me laugh more than all the simpson's episodes combined. and I am a huge simpson fan so that isn't to easy for me to say. The characters and the flashbacks are what makes this so very memorable. the characters are; (in order from best to worst)
Stewie- my personal favorite. he always tries to take over the world, but fails. he also hates his mother and talks about killing her constantly. The best things he says are Blast! and Damn You!
Chris- Chris is the retard of the family, which makes him very, very funny. My favorite line from him is when he sticks a pencil through his ear to touch his brain and says "Now I don't know math."
Peter- Peter is alot like Homer in that he has no common sense and does whatever he likes. my favorite line is when he wets himself (in the third season, last episode) and don't forget he is grown man and says "Uh Oh!"
Brian- Brian is a talking, alcoholic dog. Now where else would you find that? My favorite line is "How about a little less questions, and a little more shut the hell up?!"
Lois- Peter's wife, and see really is just like marge. No favorite lines.
Meg- Meg is really nothing special, she is definitly the Lisa of the family. No favorite lines, but it is funny when the rest of the family makes fun of her uglyness.
So in final, this show may seem like a rip-off of the simpsons, but it is really much better.

Summary: Best DVD compilation...
Review: Well, at least until vol 2 comes out right? Anyways, as for the review, I don't see how anyone can dislike this series. The naysayers will automatically draw comparos to the Simpsons and say that its quality of comedy is no where near that of Matt Groening's long running hit animated series. Well IMO the only real similarity they have is that they're both animated and have a similar family structure. Jokes, comedy, and story wise, the two are very different. Family Guy gives you noticeably more laughs per minute than Simpsons, especially if you enjoy witty politically incorrect comedy. It relies a lot more on real pop culture whereas the Simpsons jokes are usually a little more PC and revolve around general observations about society rather than specific occurences such as Family Guy. With that having been said, I guess you COULD dislike this if you really hated vulgarity and toilet bowl humor and absolutely NOTHING could make up for it. But who can't laugh when Peter asks Lois when they ever had trouble communicating and it flashes to the two of them standing in front of a beautiful sunset hugging each other and Lois telling Peter she loves him and Peter saying "About a quarter past 5"? Simply a riot. ...

Summary: "Oh, this is so good, it just HAS to be fattening!" - Stewie
Review: All of the Griffins, none of the commercials, and we now have access to 28 great episodes whenever we want. VICTORY IS OURS! Family Guy is easily one of my all-time favorite shows, with politically incorrect humour, great writing, fun stories, lovable characters, a multitude of parodies, flashbacks and references, and one-liners that you and your friends will be quoting for days. It's a mystery why FOX canceled this (and Andy Richter, of course) and continue to show unwatchable dreck like Fastlane and 24 (yuck). But by September, we'll have EVERY single episode ever made (including When You Wish Upon A Weinstein), so victory truly is ours, fellow Family Guy fans. If your idea of essential TV watching is The Simpsons, South Park, and King of the Hill, Family Guy is just what the doctor ordered. Also worth noting is that FOX is taking notice to the large number this DVD set is selling...and that can't be bad, right?

Summary: The Classic Family Guy Dilemma- Stewie or Brian.........
Review: For those who haven't seen this show you are missing out. This is animation at it's funniest. All 6 major characters are well thought out and written with gusto. The supporting characters are hilarious once you get familiar with them. It was a shame this show was cut short. It's pretty risque but it pays off bigtime. Stewie the baby is my favorite. He is a baby with a sort of a mad-scientist meets Frasier Crane persona who works that English accent to the utmost levels of extreme snobbiest. The show is politically incorrect so if you are offended by that sort of stuff stay away. My only complaint is that Peter the father is a poor mans Homer Simpson who's predictable antics sometime get a little tiresome. Other than that is high quality DVD with some OK extras and semi interesting commentaries. Bottom Line: Family Guy aint for families but it's friggin hilarious. Hopeless ubergeek Simpsons worshippers (myself included) should love this.

Summary: I Remember Family Guy
Review: This show was on a couple of years ago and I faded in and out watching it. It was really hard keeping up with the schedule changes. What I remembered before getting this DVD was really funny. Now that I watched the DVD set of season 1 and 2 I know its funny. Since I wasn't a hardcore fan I really don't know much about all the censorship issues, but what I have been reading made me really sad. They should not censor shows on DVD. Its ridiculous! Alright back to the DVD. It has a few random episode commentaries complete with long "pauses" or moments of silence during the episode, I guess they ran out of things to say. It also has fox.com promos on disk one and a behind the scenes show on disk 4 (aprox 15 min). I would rate it down for lack of features but I'm just happy to see one of the shows I watched finally make it to DVD, instead of sitting on a wish list forever while people write futile petitions hoping that there cries will bring there show on DVD (i.e. Seinfeld, etc). E Peterbus Unum is one of the funniest episodes so far, its the one I remember the most from 2000.

Summary: A Hiliarious Tirade of bliss
Review: Edgier than the Simpsons but tamer than South Park, Family Guy was one of the fuuniest shows on the Fox network. After three seasons it was cancelled. Now on DVD the show is soooooo much better. Bwecause of the nature of the show, there are jokes that need to be analyzed twice to make sense. But this show is full with obscure pop culture references. I hope everyone who bought this enjoyed it as much as I did
