Summary: Lucky there's a Family Guy DVD set
Review: To show how popular this set is on DVD, you'll notice (as of this entry) that there are no used copies available. Once you get this, you'll never want to let it go.

There's four discs in this set; disc 1 covers the first season and discs 2-4 cover the second. Disc 1 generally gets the most play, as overall the episodes are perfectly hilarious. As the show was still finding it's footing and sometimes shooting off in various directions (remember, at the stag party in the first episode, Cleveland wasn't even on the show yet), but I remember watching the premiere of this show after the Super Bowl. "Whoa, laughs ahoy." Other episodes, such as Peter building his own bar

Alas, this show got moved around too much for me (or anyone) to watch it every week, so the DVDs show me the episodes I missed. Until this, I never saw the wordless scene where Peter is nursing Stewie (until Stewie realizes something's amiss). Nothing could possibly beat that in terms of sheer amusement.

Get this while you can! Of course, if you're easily offended, perhaps you should not...

Summary: Quite simply, Brilliant
Review: Victory. I purchased both sets recently and couldn't be happier. When South Park and the Simpsons became subjects of controversy, patrons of the shows theorized that it was unfair to criticize because the shows were "equal opportunity offenders." Well, I beg to differ. Family Guy is the ONLY series I have ever watched that was made in America that was equal opportunity: FG made fun of all the taboo subjects - Protestantism, liberals, pop-culture tv, the whole nine yards. Highly recommended. And this from a white, heterosexual, Catholic male.
P.S. - I know Stewie was genius, but I'm sorry to say that Brian remains my favorite character... his lines were hilarious.
P.P.S. - I have heard rumors Fox is bringing the show back for a fourth season: I say, YES! LOCK AND LOAD! BRING ON THE PAIIIIIN!!! ... ahem. To quote Joe, that is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A hilarious show, please bring it back fox
Review: I first show this show a couple of years back and it is one of the first truly laugh out loud comedies i have ever seen. I cannot believe people have written such scathing reviews about this cartoon. Those people just didn't get this type of humor. I make myself stay up late at night to watch this show, it is that funny. Some believe that this show is a complete rip off of shows such as the simpsons. Obviously these people have never heard of a parody. Although somewhat similar family guy is nuch different. How can people connect stewy and maggie?!?!? One of my favorite aspects of the show are the hilarious flashbacks. One of my favorites is the one where peter does a flashback to a free tibet rally and calls china to inform them that he has taken their "free tibet" and he wants all the tea too give it back. Although i consider the simpsons one of the best shows ever and the earlier seasons are absolute classics, in recent years it has gone downhill and the humor is somewhat cheesy. I hope that the rumors are true and that family guy will be back for a new season in January 2005. Although i find the Simpsons a great show, especially seasons 9 and below and i think it has very funny social commentary it is not nearly as funny as family guy. Family guy is the kind of show that if you are eating something while watching it you're either going to choke or have it coming out of your nose. This is a great show and i think that if south park has been able to gain acceptance this show should be given a chance too. If fox would only give family guy a chance and present it to a wider audience than its cult following it has a chance to become a very successful show. Family guy is a show that does not take it self seriously, a problem with shows these days, and is for those who aren't out to judge but simply to watch a great show. People just need to give family guy a chance.

Summary: Best Cartoon Ever!!!
Review: Family Guy is the funniest Cartoon ever made. The only way you can't find this show funny is if you don't know a thing about pop culture...all and all family guy is the best show ever

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: DVD sanitized for your protection
Review: First the good news: This is one of the funniest shows on in a long time. I was a big fan when it was on TV and, after watching Volume 1, I had to go out and buy Volume 2. The jokes come fast and furious, and the guest stars are as hilarious as they are surprising (Ed McMahon?!?!?).

Now the bad news: Some cowardly poopyheads have deleted at least one scene from the original broadcast (the airport security/Osama Bin Laden one) and possibly another: does anyone remember a scene (possibly a dream sequence) where Peter suddenly finds himself on a plane full of useless celebrities and runs into the cockpit to try to crash the plane? This scene does not appear to be on either set.

The commentaries (about one every three or four episodes) are also pretty worthless. Though they have their moments, such as pointing out instances where there are continuity errors, the commentaries usually A) lapse into silence as the creators watch the episode and occasionally laugh at a particularly funny joke, B) veer off into subjects totally unrelated to the episode, or C) provide uninspired info like "This part used to be something different" or "This was less offensive than what we had originally wrote." There is no mention of the controversy surrounding some of the jokes in many of the episodes. Until a better version comes out, fans will have to settle for these DVD sets which, for most people, will be enough.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Show in the world
Review: Family Guy is the funniest show in the world. Though it may be crude and inapropriate, it still is a great show to watch. It brings out the immature child in all of us. I would reccomend this dvd collection to anyone!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: all i can say is ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!
Review: this has got to be the funniest series that was ever produced! i can watch it again and again and still laugh my ass off everytime! The creators are very creative and what gets me is the off the wall humor that constantly comes with the show...please keep making more episodes!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A Simpsons Rip-Off!!
Review: I just heard that Fox is bringing this show back on the air in 2005. Why?! This show is just a rip off of The Simpsons! I kid you not, many of the jokes in the first season were shamelessly stolen from the Simpsons. For example, on many occasions, Dale suddenly and very quickly falls to the ground, but this is a joke that was done on the Simpsons a hundred times! When I first saw this on Family Guy I didn't laugh but rolled my eyes instead.

This is not where it stops. Even the circus themed opening credits came from one of the opening themes of a Simpsons episode!

If I want a laugh, I'll watch the Simpsons. If I want racy comedy, give me South Park. If I want to see the same jokes years later that I've seen so many times they arn't funny anymore, Family Guy takes the gold!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wonder what goes on in Seth McFarlane's head?
Review: Funny, funny, funny, funny, funny. Family guy is highly original, very fast, never boring, wonderfully offensive and quite frankly I have nothing bad to say about it.
All you out there who say it's crap, and a Simpsons rip off, well, I know where you're coming from, in that many of the stories are the same, however Family Guy has a completely different type of humour to the simpsons. And anyway EVERYTHING COPIES THE SIMPSONS!
Southpark did an entire episode on how every story they come up with has already been done on the Simpsons. So stop complaining!
Family Guy is pure comedy. Buy it, watch it, laugh at it, watch it again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Family Guy kicks ass
