Summary: Worth every cent
Review: My favorite comedy! DVD quality episodes for less than 1.50$ per episode. A truly amazing bargain. If you're a Family Guy fan, you'd be a fool not to buy this set of 4 DVDs containing the entire first 2 seasons (over 25 episodes!!). Can't wait till the next season is released! By the way buy them here, Amazon's service and price can't be beaten!

The Cartoon Network airs Family Guy at 10:30 p.m. (central) You may want to check on the time, but I recently discovered its revival

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Absolutely the funniest series to ever be canceled!
Review: I am SO thankful these discs were released.....this series managed to break almost every rule of political correctness, but in such a subtle way (compared to, say, "South Park") that it's like comparing Hemmingway to some cheesy dime-store novel. Just try watching several episodes, and then NOT talking like Stewie....I DARE YOU! CAN I GIVE THIS SIX STARS????? As Stewie says, "Oh my God....this is better than sex!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Right on the money
Review: I am from Rhode Island, and no, most people are not like that. However, there are people who are exactly like the Griffins. The quality is amazing on all the episodes, the video and sound have absolutely no problems. However, there is one small little problem, on Disc 3, the episode "Road to Rhode Island" is censored. For anyone who is a true fan of the show, and knows the episodes, they will know exactly what was taken out. If you don't know, then, it won't kill you to not see it.

Summary: The DVD Set, or.... What's Inside the Mystery Box!!!
Review: This was something I had been waiting for ever since they started putting TV shows on DVD. One of my favorite and short-lived comedies is now available to own on DVD. That series being Family Guy, in a very nice package, "Family Guy: Volume 1." All I can say is it's about freakin' time!!

Yep, it's the family that was too rude and offensive for Fox to handle. This very witty and extremely hilarious cartoon series takes comedy and satire to a whole different level. I actually think this is much more offensive and outrageous than South Park. With South Park, the offensive and crude humor is in your face and "straight-to-the-point." With Family Guy, the offensive and sick twisted humor is very subtle in a shocking way. The results: one of the funniest TV series to pollute your television set since Married with Children and The Simpsons.

With this DVD collection, you get all 28 episodes from seasons 1 and 2. (Not a bad deal, if you ask me!) Relive your favorite moments with the Griffin Family as they get into the most chaotic and unbelievable situations that will have you laughing in tears.

Here are the episodes:
Death has a Shadow, I Never Met the Dead Man, Chitty Chitty Death Bang, Mind Over Murder, A Hero Sits Next Store, The Son Also Draws, Brian: Portrait of a Dog, Peter Peter Caviar Eater, Holy ***, Da Boom, Brian in Love, Love Thy Trophy, Death is a ***, The King is Dead, I Am Peter: Hear Me Roar, If I'm Dyin' I'm Lyin', Running Mates, A Picture's Worth a Thousand Bucks, Fifteen Minutes of Shame, Road to Rhode Island, Let's go to the Hop, *** Janet!, There's Something about Paulie, He's Too Sexy for His Fat, E Peterbus Unum, The Story on Page One, Wasted Talent, and Fore Father.

The 4 DVDs also include commentaries, Internet promo spots, and a behind-the-scenes featurette. It would've been nice to see some more extras, but I'm still pretty satisfied.

The only major drawback is the picture tends to be shaky at times (you really notice it on the first episode). Now, this isn't a major distraction and it doesn't happen non-stop, but it does happen every once and awhile. (At least it does for me. It's possible that it's the set that I bought or my DVD player that's causing the problem, but I'm pretty sure I read that someone else was having the same problems as well.)

All in all, I am so happy that Family Guy is finally out there for everyone to own and enjoy once more. It might've been a short-lived series, but it's one that almost everybody has heard of and loves. If you are down and feeling like you are having the worst day ever, pop in these babies and I assure you that you will forget all your troubles. A very worthy purchase, indeed!

Now, you can either have this nice Family Guy DVD set, or... what's in the Mystery Box! I mean, a Mystery Box can be ANYTHING! It can even be a freakin' Family Guy DVD set!! We'll take the box!

Get your hands on this set as soon as you can! Trust me, it is very much worth it.

Summary: Thank God the Griffins were released on DVD
Review: This show was so funny, I had always wondered what happened to it. It would be on, then on at a different time. Then it would skip a few weeks, be back on the air at another time. You never knew when it would be on.

Now I don't have to worry about it. The Griffins are at my fingertips for all time.What a deal this is too, 28 episodes for under forty bucks is a steal.

If you are not familiar with the show, be warned. It makes the Simpsons look like the Teletubbies. It is crude, rude, and outrageously funny. You will have an offensive joke thrown at you no mater who you are. White, Black, Southern, European, Jewish, Mexican, American Indian, etc. It doesn't matter, this was a no holds barred show that even FOX couldn't handle. Peter Griffin makes Homer Simpson look like Hugh Beaumont from Leave it to Beaver.

This show will shock and offend as it laughs at the rules of political correctness. When you have a talking alcoholic dog, a murderous one year old, a sexist man, a retarded teenage boy, an insecure girl, and a sexy woman all in the same family, what the heck would you expect?

This cartoon series blows away Kng of the Hill, The Simpsons, and Futurama. This was by far the best animated series FOX ever had. Bravo!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the funniest thing ever on television.
Review: After going back and watching these episodes on DVD, I not only understand why the show was cancelled, I wonder how it even made it on the air. That's not to say it's not funny, because for my money, it's the funniest thing ever aired on television. I'm just shocked it lasted as long as it did. The show skewers politics, religion, entertainment, and television with a ruthless brutality unheard of on network tv. The question is, will we hear from them again? I sure hope so.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Unforgivable Censorship
Review: The U.S. version of the DVD is missing several gags and jokes. For example, the 'Road to Rhode-Island' episode does not contain Stewie's eery Bin Laden joke. The 'A Hero Sits next Door' episode does not have the JFK&RFK pez-dispensor scene. I love this show, and I hate censorship, and I am outraged that the editors would try to force their socio-political sentiments on the viewers. I bought the DVD to see the show AS IT ORIGINALLY AIRED. Other than the cuts, the DVD's are great. The commentaries are funny and insightful. Now if only they made an uncut version....

Rating: 5 stars
