Rating: Summary: It's all here! Or is it? Review: Yes, this is one of the greatest shows ever. Entertainment Weekly hated it, but the Griffin's got their revenge as they took part of an EW review and used it as a plug on the back of this package. My big worry is the 9 second season episodes that are missing. There is a review on here that says they got moved to the 3rd season. I really hope this is the case and they show up on the next box, because they are among the funniest: a 2 parter where Brian goes to Hollywood and winds up being a porn director; Peter tries to prevent some Brits form taking over his favorite bar; Peter goes to Washington to testify that his company's new smoking doll is safe. The stuff on the current box is hilarious, but someone messed up the synopsis of "Mind Over Murder"... Lois is the lounge singing sensation, not Meg. Anyway, this is the rudest, crudest, funniest cartoon ever, and it's too bad Fox didn't stick with it. It should've always been after the Simpsons on Sundays... Buy it and laugh your fool head off!
Rating: Summary: Bring back The Family Guy Review: The Family Guy is clearly one of the funniest TV shows of the past ten years. Why Fox canceled this show is beyond me.
Rating: Summary: Scene Cut From Original Broadcasts - VERY [BAD] Review: I was less than thrilled when I attempted to watch the first episode, the main reason I bought this DVD Set, Road to Rhode Island, from season #2 to find that they had cut the entire Bin Laden Scene from the episode.....Nice freedom of speech America, if I had known this the DVD's would be back on the shelf at the store and I could have saved my time and money.
Rating: Summary: The best show (not on) TV Review: I cannot add to the already eloquently expressed assessment of the programme as a parody on American life. However, purely in terms of entertainment, I would like to add my opinion that FG is by far the funniest and cleverest [animated] show ever written. The fact the show was taken off the air is a further reminder of the semi-democracy and paralytic freedom we are forced to endure. (Apologies, didnt expect to get political). Anyway, as a deranged paranoid city mayor did once say, 'How do you know my language?'. (5 points to name the episode). PS - I have all 50 episodes on CD as a gift from a friend on my 29th birthday. I have (sadly/heroically/unashamedly) watched each episode 5 times. It just keeps getting funnier.
Rating: Summary: A million jokes per minute Review: It sometimes works and it sometimes doesn't work. It does try too hard to be funny ALL the time but when it works it is some really funny stuff. This show was a keeper (after so many attempts at trying to reproduce the success of the simpsons) Fox finally stumbled on a winner, that they foolishly dropped. I don't know why the bin laden joke and the Once upon a Weinstein were dropped. If you find those offensive, I think you would find the whole show offensive. I imagine fans of this show are not going to be easily offensed by crude jokes and bodily function humor and jokes about a baby wanting to off his own mother. So why should fans be denied these things? Why does the UK get them? It's not like Americans aren't used to crude humor(Goodnes knows we invented it), so this deletion is just plain unecessary and silly. It's a great show, I just hate being treated like I don't KNOW what I'm buying.
Rating: Summary: TV Dosen't Get Funnier Than This Review: For those who thought Matt Groening and his creation "The Simpsons" represented the sine qua non of animated TV comedy, hold on to your seats. As funny and venerable as Homer and crew are, TV has never seen a family as, how should one put it-"outrageously normal" as the Griffins of Quohog, Rhode Island. Try to imagine a family with a talking dog with an IQ at least twice that of his "master", Peter Griffin, the show's Dad. Try to imagine a toddler who, instead of dreaming of fairies and angels, instead plots murder, designs weapons of mass destruction, and fantasizes about world domination. Next, try to imagine how much throat choking, gut busting laughter you will miss out on if you don't get this DVD set! It's that great!
Rating: Summary: Family guy is the best Review: I've been a fan of Family guy since its debut. When it was taken off the air, I downloaded every episode just to remind me of what a great show it was. Now, to think that I'm actually going to be able to own it on DVD blows my mind! Call me crazy, but this was the best thing to happen to television since the invention of color. I think the first season is the best. It is a little more edgey and less censored. I've never met a person in my life who didn't enjoy this show. Peter Griffin for president!!
Rating: Summary: Classic, Underrated, Hilarious Review: This is the ultimate dysfunctional family show, I only wish it was still on the air. It was just as funny as the Simpsons, and Futurama, if not funnier. The show reworks that same old sitcom family, and adds a twist of eccentricity, it rivals the Simpsons, and is one of the funniest shows to ever grace the small screen. This is not to be missed.
Rating: Summary: I love this show!!!! Why'd they take it off the air? Review: It's great to see a real release, I've been waiting for 2 years to finally see it. I had a taped a few episodes off TV, and had worn out the tape. Hopefully the rest will be out next!!!
Rating: Summary: Your avid family guy fan Review: I'm finally glad to see this come out on DVD. Since the declining writing on the simspons has left it moronically mundane, like everything else these days, I have turned to other cartoon entertainment such as family guy. Ever since this aired there has not been an episode to go by that didnt leave me laughing histerically and grasping for more. From its inuendo's to the blunt truth of everyday life, family guy is a winning show for the stressed out college person. Can't wait for the 3 season to come out. I just wish it was still shown on air. However I am upset that the other work Seth Macfarlane has done is not on this set. I have seen the the Great Britian DVD set and it is full of those and other episodes never aired. I'm hoping they will put this on the next DVD to come out.
