Summary: For those who are wondering...
Review: One reviewer states that there were 37 episodes in the first and second seasons. Another states it was only 28 (the amount on the dvds). They are both correct.

The way the episodes were produced, there were 37 episodes according to the network's episode classification. However, they aired them in different sequences, and only ended up with 28 episodes. The remaining 9 episodes were attributed to season three. So, depending on which source you check, you will see either 28 or 37 episodes for seasons one + two.

I suspect the second volume will have all the rest of the episodes. Aside from the technicalities, this show is absolutely brilliant. It is, by far, the best written cartoon, and possibly TV show, period. I used to be a simpsons fan, but after starting to watch Family Guy, the simpsons seemed much less entertaining.

I would definately recommend this dvd to anyone, it's well worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must Have
Review: Even though FOX tried their hardest to kill this show by switching its time slot repeatedly, it got a pretty good run. ALL 28 episodes from seasons 1 and 2 are included, despite what a few here have said. And for everyone complaining about the unaired episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" not being included, please know that is a season 3 episode and will probably be on volume 2.

If you were a fan on the show, you'll be highly satisfied with this. This set gets five stars, for sure.

Summary: Commentary review
Review: Great series, but not many people talk about the commentaries, so I will. First off, not all the episodes have commentaries. I imagine this was to save space to include more actual episodes on each DVD by not commentary'ing everything. There are numerous spots in the commentaries where no one says anything at all, but most don't last more than 3-4 minutes each. I wondered if they had stopped entirely at one point. The voice actor who plays Lois is in most (if not all) of the commentaries, and she's very funny (as is Seth, of course). They do pick on the show ("See that? It means Peter is REALLY STUPID") and on each other ("No, really, just give me a Yes or a No, Seth, and don't explain, so we can sit here for 20 minutes in silence.") but occasionally Seth or Lois's voice actor will do a character voice cursing or saying something funny (that's quite a laugh). And, of course, there's mention of which scenes were considered riske at the time and which they had trouble getting past the censors. I wish the commentary was on all the episodes, though. Also, I kind of wish it was as full of info as the Futurama or Simpsons commentaries are. I got the feeling they were obligated to do the commentaries for Family Guy, and that perhaps it wasn't by choice.

Summary: Dear lord my prayers have been answered
Review: It took my three hours to travel to seven different stores to find this dvd collection. And it was worth it. This show was underappreciated and deserved this collection. The hardcore fans that followed the show areound the tv schedule were owed this glorious compilation of the first two seasons. My only complaint is that the theme song gets old after a while, but hey small price to pay for the comedic genius that this show delivers. Bring on volume 2!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Family Guy rules
Review: Family Guy is, bar none, the best animated series that has ever been broadcast on television. Beating out the Simpsons in almost every aspect, the show had an unusually large amount of political and racial satire, parody, and pop culture. The most politically incorrect series out there (which is probably why it was cancelled), Family Guy is also the most ingenuous. Crazy humor fills every episode - not a croaker in the bunch. If you're a big fan of the Simpsons, or really any sitcom, Family Guy is the show for you. Don't miss your chance and pick up your copy of the Family Guy Seasons 1 & 2 today. And remember to snatch up that third season when it is released in September. Long live the Griffins!

"I'm the Griffins' house! Bring me a toolshed, for I am hungry."
-Peter Griffin

Brian: "Ah, Brown University - the old Alma Mater."
Chris: "Brown is the color of poo!"
Brian: "Yes...yes it is."

Brian: "I've been to the top of the mountain, lady. I've seen it all!"
Chris: "Wh...what did you see? Was it breasts?"

Meg: "Chris, you're hogging all the fans!"
Chris: "Oh, yeah? Well you're hogging up all the ugly!!!"

Ahhh...good old Griffins.

Summary: MOVE OVER SIMPSONS, HERE COME THE GRIFFINS!
Review: This is one of my most favorite shows of all time next to "The Simpsons" & "Ed, Edd n Eddy". It has plenty of twisted humor, excellent satire, and of course, NON-STOP LAUGHS!
I cracked up so sooooo hard when this used to be on FOX. Sadly, the series only went for three seasons and obviously did not last that long. However, it still remains to be a classic next to many other hit programs of today. Now, I can watch my fav episodes of this on DVD anytime, and the quality is outstanding! "Family Guy" is guarenteed to have you rolling on the floor laughing your head off! BUY TODAY! You won't be disapointed!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Buy, yet FOX is afraid!
Review: What is FOX afraid of? Apparently giving America the "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" episode. Region 2 has it, why not us? Well, it is teeming over the top with filthy jewish jokes, and FOX is deathly afraid that this could offend. Okay, understandable to not let it air on television......BUT ON DVD??? There are more offending movies on DVD out there, FOX. You can't see the offensive material if you don't buy it!! Maybe they're saving it for the Season 3 DVD.

Anyways, my first episode of Family Guy that I watched is a vauge, yet known memory. It was that of "Dammit Janet!" (which is on this set, great ep), in which Stevie, at a new daycare, falls for one of the other kiddies. Meanwhile, Lois gets a job as a flight attendent, allowing Peter to fly for free. While I didn't care for the Stevie story much, Lois and Peter's caught my eye (and my humor). Really caught my eye. I laughed so hard that I thought I was going to vomit. This started my love for the show. Now that it is on DVD, I can appreciate it greater. Some of my favorite episodes (including the mentioned "Dammit Janet!") are on this disc, so this is a great, great buy.

Overall, the Season 3 DVD, coming in September, is also going to be a good buy, but this is defintely the cream of the crop.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than I hoped...
Review: I actually bought this set without seeing an episode. Before you think I have money to burn, this set was recommended by everyone I knew so I gave it a shot. I tell you, I am SO happy I bought it and I wished I watched the show when it was on. There are so many priceless oneliners, great gags and hilarious writing. I love this set, it is totally un-pc but if you know they are just going for a laugh then just sit back and enjoy. This is the most cutting edge stuff I have seen on TV since All in the Family. The only way they could get away with this material is because its an animated series.
