Summary: The Best Ever
Review: This is the funniest cartoon for adults ever made; in fact, you may accuse me of hyperbole, but it might be the funniest TV show ever made period. As far as cartoons go, it even beats out my beloved "Bugs Bunny" of the 40's and 50's - "SouthPark" and the "Simpsons" come in 3rd and 4th IMHO.
This series is the reason I finally bought a DVD player.

Summary: I LOVE FAMILY GUY
Review: this is definetly my favorite show, and the funniest show out there. too bad it ended. this show is a rip off the simpsons yes. but who cares? the simpsons are DEAD AND STUPID!! FART JOKES AND CHOKING GET OLD AFTER HMMM, 15 YEARS!!!! AND STUPID DRUNKNESS AND YELLOW PEOPLE GET STUPID TOO!!!! this show is clever, incredibly funny, and random. the humor is completely randomness, and stupid, which makes it so funny. The best episode is the Y2K one with the peter vs. chicken fight. or the episode where death sprains its ankle, and there technically is no death until peter takes the sickle. Screw the simpsons, it is stupid and getting routine and too stupid and predictable nowadays, especially with special guest appearances. family guy is much much better.

Summary: The Simpsions for thr rest of us
Review: The family guy is a bit like the meaner, quicker, harder drinking brother of the Simpsions. This is was a blessing and a curse. While the comedy comes faster the show does not carry much charm. It's strength is the cut away joke. No other comedy has come close to this level of cut away jokes. The big let down of the DVD's is the lack of anything extra really. Commentaries are boring, lifeless and not worth the trouble. Worst part is they are only on a few of the shows. Pretty lame. Most of the time is sounds like someone forced the creators to sit in front of the mic and talk. Really lame and very boring.If your a fan of the show, you gotta have the set. Just forget about anything worth while in the extras.

Summary: Dark humor, hope this helps.
Review: Think of the dry cool wit of the Simpsons, combined with the provacative humor of All in the Family, and I think you'll have a pretty good idea of Family Guy. There are parts where you'll laugh out loud and immediately feel guilty about laughing at the joke. Stewie is by far the utlimate evil genius and closet drag queen, always foiled by Lois, his mother. Brian, the talking dog, seems to provide balance, despite being an alcoholic and recovering cocaine addict. Then of course there is Peter, the dad, who is your stereotypical stupid father and would be strongly compared to Homer Simpson on his worst days. This is perhaps the funniest two and a half seasons of a show that has ever been. However, with this collection you only get the first and second seasons. Adam West as the mayor is a great touch too. I think you can tell that I'm a huge fan, since this review is all over the place. Before you sit down and purchase this, it might be a good idea to check out the Family Guy on television, I believe it's on one of the Cartoon channels at night sometime. The show isn't for everyone, and some people might be a bit offended by the humor.

Summary: Where Simpsons has failed post-Season 8 or so....
Review: ...Family guy has claimed victory. To address the Simpsons fans' outcry of "rip-off," they're out of their minds. First of all, since season 8, Simpsons has gone into a downhill trend that has never really recovered. Every so often, they come up with an episode or two that bring back a nostalgic feeling of the older (read: BETTER) episodes, but continue into humor that falls more into the crude, pressed-on-the-audience type. I'm a huge fan of the Simpsons (my mini collection of merchandise and once-memorized synopsis of most episodes is/was proof), but it's nothing like it used to be. Where they have failed, Family has picked it back up, with relentless and edgy humor that is timed perfectly and never forced. Second, though the basic outlines of both shows feel similar (American (dis)functional family just living day by day in the suburbs), the approach to both shows are quite different. To make it short, both shows are like two different comedians: One takes the audience into his show to constantly throw one stab of jokes after another (Family Guy), While Simpsons lets the audience take in the jokes at a slower yet digestive pace. Back to Family guy's own merits. This DVD collection is definitely something you'll be watching over and over. Its comedic value is just too high to be forgotten after a first viewing, as you'll find yourself laughing just as hard at the same jokes you saw the first time. With the number of episodes included, the price is definitely right. The extras aren't amazing, but are at least something interesting to listen to, and perhaps add on to the laughter. However, everything else gives this collection five stars.

Summary: A sweet beginning.
Review: Vulgar. Distasteful. Rude. Crass. Politically incorrect. All the reasons i LOVE this program. If not just for the fact that this is in the top three funniest shows ever produced for televison, buy this because you CAN. We live in a great country where stuff like this can exist. Be proud of that. We need to lampoon ourselves. It reminds us of our freedom. The humor in this show was cutting and real. And, as many of us have heard through the pipeline, it appears that additional shows are currently being produced for the Cartoon Network! VIVA FAMILY GUY! Keep fighting the good fight. And keep feeding alcohol to that dog, he's funnier when he's drunk!!!!

Summary: A Very Funny Show
Review: I watched Family Guy from when it first came on in 1999 until its premature cancellation a few years later. It was a very funny show and i bought the DVD shortly after it came out. The show itself is excellent, it is a more offensive, edgy version of The Simpsons with it's own style of random humor.
The extras are not great. The commentary is terrible and a waste of time to listen to, because they don't say anything particularly funny. The promos are okay, but I saw them back in 98-99. The behind the scenes featurette is pretty good, even if it is rather short.
Don't try to watch to many episodes at one time, because you will get sick of it. Watch a few at a time.
