Summary: What More Can I Say!
Review: If you like Family Guy, and don't have bootlegs, or would just like to get legit copies of the shows, then get this DVD.

There's not a lot in the area of special features. Only some of the episodes have a comentary sound track. And since it was originally a TV show designed for the 4:3 aspect ratio, it may look odd to you on a 16:9 wide-screen TV. But the encoding is good, and there are few artifact problems.

Early reports said that this set would include the unaired episode, but only the Region 2 version includes it. That was disappointing. But there is still plenty of great episodes here.

Fox resurected Family Guy more than once after cancelation. I still have hope that some day it'll once again be a summer replacement. Until then, I'll be watching this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than a dead Lois.
Review: Family Guy doesn't make much sense when you consider the intellectual, talking dog and the baby with a proper British voice and constant thoughts of power and revenge. But with these elements, the show rocks hard and never pulls any punches. Seth MacFarlane did a great job to present a new comedy in 1999 that kept a traditional family formula, made popular by the Simpsons, but he took it somewhere new and funny. The show doesn't waste time explaining situations or providing background information for certain jokes. It dives right in to provide instant, sometimes brilliant, comedy. I am now going to go watch all 28 episodes on the DVD for the next nine hours. BRING IT ON!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: THIRD BEST SHOW BUT NOT BEST LIKE FUTURAMA AND CLERKS
Review: This show is hilarious but sometimes crude and boring,but the family characters like Peter,Lois,Chris,Meg,Stewie,and the families dog Brian,it has lots of laughs mostly by Peter's jokes,Lois'straight talk,and Chris' silly voice.but I like tv shows FUTURAMA AND CLERKS a whole lot better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Exceptional Value
Review: When you buy box sets of DVD's you often don't get everything you want or are dissapointed in the volume within - especially with T.V. program editions. However, this is an excellent exception. You get a whole lot of episodes with lots of add ons. It would be nice if they included season 3 (the original show was canceled in season 3), but still a great value over all. I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Family Guy Makes You Laugh and Cry!
Review: I love this show! Everytime my husband and I watch this DVD we can't help but laugh our heads off! Sometimes we laugh so hard we cry. My favorite episode is the one about William Shatner. I wont go into detail you will just have to see it for your self. I really hope alot of people will buy this DVD set so that maybe they will change their minds and bring it back on tv with all new episodes. I thought it was one of the greats. It reminds me of the show Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. Buy this DVD set you wont be disapointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I cannot sing praise enough for Family Guy...
Review: ...however, at the same time, I can understand how someone could dislike it. It's offensive, obnoxious, bawdy, and a number of other synonyms for "objectionable" that I won't bother to throw at you, but it's damned funny. Should that sort of thing appeal to you as it does to me, Family Guy won't disappoint.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Good Compilation of an Okay Show
Review: This collection of Family Guy, containing two of the three seasons of the show, is an excellent compilation of the show. However, the show leaves something to be desired in its humor at times.

It appears that nothing is too sacred to the writers of Family Guy. While some of their spoofs are truly funny in themselves, many jokes take advantage of situations, instututions, and individuals. In addition to these kinds of gags, Family Guy also utilizes much "potty" humor. The comedy of the show, while sometimes extremely funny, can leave the watcher thinking, "Did they just make fun of that?" and, "That was a stupid joke."

If you are a fan of the series, this is an excellent compilation of the show. For that, I give it 5 out of 5 stars. However, since the humor is not all that great at times, I give it 3 out of 5 stars. Think what you will; it is a funny show at times, going overboard at other times, but this is an excellent collection of the episodes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest Show ever
Review: This is one of the greatest boxed sets. (Besides Futurama and the Simpsons.) This has great quality and is a definite good buy. If you like the Simpsons and Futurama, then you should get this set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome DVD Set - Straight to the Point Review
Review: - Everyone knows this DVD is awesome.
- The unaired episode will be on the second set in September
- Yes, the picture tends to be shaky at times (you really notice it on the first episode). I believe this is standard, other people have wrote about this also.
- Don't know why the JFK & BinLaded part were edited, wonder if they will have it as a special on the next set?
- FamilyGuy is currently on rerun on Cartoon Network from Sunday-Thursday - at 11:30pm EST.
- Finally, I hope the DVD sales help this series make a return, though Seth McFarlene (creator) said that a spinoff might be in the works based on one or several characters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exelent
Review: The auido on this is great on my 5.1 sound system. The picture is great. I would tell anyone who likes any of the cartoons on Fox (sunday night) and Cartoon Networks Adult Swim to pick this up.
