Summary: Holy ...!
Review: This first season of Family Guy is a truly fantastic DVD. They cut the ... of extra's and stuff, and instead gave 14 episodes which are not all neccessarily suitable for kids. A very good DVD!

Summary: And you thought that YOUR family had issues.....
Review: Quite possibly the most underrated comedy ever devised, The Family Guy enjoyed three all-too-brief seasons before getting the axe. Fortunately, the ratings in syndication were so high that the show will be back, starting in 2005.Which means that it is time to get this DVD and get caught up. Featuring 28 episodes from the first two seasons, this collection will introduce you to the borderline-insane Griffin family and their dysfunctional neighbors, all of whom contribute something unique to the comedic mosaic. The standouts are Stewie, the megalomaniacal toddler, Brian, the sarcastic, martini-sipping family dog, and Quagmire, the womanizing swinger who is funny when he scores, and even funnier when he doesn't. Comparisons will be made, justly, to the Simpsons. While there are some similarities, Family Guy is far more extreme and over-the-top, and will appeal to anyone look for a seriously politically incorrect comedy. Highest possible recommendation.

Summary: My favorite TV show ever!
Review: This show has got to be the most hilarious cartoon series ever with its clever references and random things in it. If you don't own it and are a fan of the Simpsons or other satirical cartoons then you need to get this now! Yes it is that good. I have watched all the episodes countless times and they always provide a good laugh. If you like this then be sure to grab Season 3 as well.

Summary: u people are such idiots
Review: for gods sake people, just because the family is similiar to The Simpsons, doesnt mean that Family Guy is a total rip-off. I discovered Family Guy last year, but before that, i watched Simpsons religiously. I had all three seasons on dvd, and had watched them all. After i found Family Guy, i went back to The Simsons and asked myself, "What is this crap?" There were about 5 similar, not identical, SIMILIAR jokes in The Simsons and Family Guy but Family guy was much funnier and the animations dont even compare. So all you people who think that everything that Family Guy does is a rip-off of some other show, need to sit down and watch the dvds for its HUMOR, not how sophisticated it is. This show was created to be something to make people laugh, not to be the most original show ever or to be analyzed. Just stop complaining about how its similiar to Simsons, and get some laughs out of this incredibly funny show.

Summary: Great Show, Horrible DVDs
Review: I recently fell in LOVE with Family Guy, so I was thrilled when I recieved this set as a gift. I love the episodes, but there is one problem that is bothering me a lot. I can't get to the opening scenes! A lot of the episodes start at the main theme and not the opening scene that is listed in the scene selection. I know it can't be the malfunction of one disc, because they all do it. Also, viewing in "Play all" mode is extremely difficult as it doesn't seem to know which chapter it wants to play next. Worth buying for the episodes, but its worth it to know about the malfuction.

Summary: Buy this DVD!!!
Review: While browsing through these reviews, I saw alot of people commenting that Family Guy makes no sense or that its a rip-off of the Simpsons and to these people I have only one thing to say: Lighten up!! Family Guy isn't supposed to make sense and therein lies its charm. I'll admit, there are several similarities between this show and The Simpsons but to say that every character and plot is directly lifted from The Simpsons is a bit extreme. What do Maggie and Stewie have in common, except that their babies? What do Brian and Bart have in common except that their both boys? Gimme a break. Look, to anyone that's thinking about purchasing these DVDs, go right ahead. Trust me, it'll be the best thirty bucks you've ever spent. And with all these stupid reality t.v. shows (which are really starting to resemble each other more and more every time, am I right?) it's good to have some form of escape after a long day's work and this is certainly it. Family Guy is laugh-out-loud, rolling-on-the-floor, running-to-the-bathroom-b4-u-wet-urself hilarious! <br /><br />And when you do get it, keep an eye out for Quagmeyer. He's a riot!

Summary: Amazing TV show -- sub par DVD bonus material
Review: Let me get one thing straight right off the bat: "The Family Guy" was one of the best animated comedies on the telly. It takes more risks at upseting the mainstream than "The Simpsons" but isn't so blatant in shock value as "Southpark." In fact, I seriously loved this series when it was on the air and I'm thrilled that now that it's available on DVD, I can watch my favorite episodes whenever I want. If you're a fan of the show, you need these DVD box sets. However, if you want really cool added features, keep looking. Unlike the commentary for DVDs like "The Simpsons" it's almost as though Seth and gang have no idea what DVD commentary is for. In fact, for many of the episodes that actually DO have commentary, they sit in silence instead of actually commenting -- which kinda begs the question -- why is this called an audio commentary track when you barely comment? Also, many of the comments really aren't that entertaining at all. Occasionally Seth M. or Seth Green will speak in their characters' voices to comment (which would have been sooo much more interesting if they continued to do so) but for the most part they just don't say much. Highlights of the commentary do include the actress who does Lois' voice (she is damn funny).... but some of the other voice actors/actresses that are on the commentary seem to have been brought in at last minute. One of supporting voice actors even asks in geniune astonishment: "Brian the dog has a martini?" Which makes you kind of wonder if some of the actors even bothered watching the series they were in while it aired. There's only one documentary (if you want to call it that) which is simply a long commercial for the show. I was disappointed in the bonus material, but the episodes themselves are worth the price of the box set. I just hope in the future, more people who bother with DVD commentary do something other than just sit in silence.

Summary: AWESOME! A MUST GET FOR ANY FAMILY GUY FAN!
Review: These episodes for Family Guy on DVD are AWESOME! I would say the Season 3 DVDs are a little bit more funny than the Season 1 and 2 DVDs but also with more adult jokes. Any fan of Family Guy should get all 3 Seasons on DVD. I've seen every episode about 5 times each but they are still hilarious! (I even notice some new jokes every time I watch an episode again)! This show NEVER gets boring and will keep anyone laughing for a long time. Probably even people who haven't seen a single episode will fall in love with Family Guy (I did and now I'm a big fan).

Summary: Too Good For TV
Review: My theory about Family Guy is that Seth MacFarlane (creator, animator, producer and most of the voices) ought to continue making Family Guy episodes EXCLUSIVELY to be released on DVD. That way he does not have to worry about the monkeys at the FCC or any other censorship board crawling down his throat. Family Guy is the torch bearer of adult cartoon comedy: it picks up where the sixth or seventh season of The Simpsons left off (anything after season seven is garbage, or at least inconsistent) and carries us into the 21st Century with an evolved sense of humor - infinitely more political and subversive than anything you have ever seen.
The show is roughly based on the Simpsons format, or rather on the post-Reagan sitcom format consisting of a dysfunctional blue collar family, circa Rosanne and Married with Children. The father is an oaf, the kids need therapy and the mom is a classic product of the repressive 1980s model of the nuclear housewife. Add one acholohic dog and a closetted homosexual baby bent on conquering the world and you have a cast made in comic heaven. Unlike the Simpsons this series is far less realistic, with talking dogs and babies and slapstick that is totally outrageous; but similar to the Simpsons, Family Guy takes real-life scenarios such as welfare fraud, racism or sexual harassment and places them within a totally ludicrous context. Take Peter, for example, who with a 100,000$ welfare cheque purchases Michaelangelos David. I cannot get into the details of each episode, but for what this series is worth you will not be dissapointed investing in this series. Each and EVERY character is priceless and manages to make you laugh until your stomach hurts. Unlike the Simpsons, where Lisa is rarely funny and extremely irritating, Family Guy is virtually amoral (void of morals) and therefore does not rely on any characters to act as a moral anchor to compensate for the rest of the casts antics. If you like watching or listening to George Carlin, whose comedy can make your stomach turn as much as it can make you cry laughing, you will love the confrontational-meets-hysterical comedy stylings of Family Guy. Do NOT sleep on this!

Summary: to all you people who think family guy is a ripoff!!!!
Review: family guy is the best. most of the stuff in family guy is original, granted there are some things that are from the simpsons but show me one cartoon that isn't. there is a lot of original stuff, for example, the one classic episode where peter tries to breastfeed stewie because he wants to be a woman so much or when peter goes to the pawtucket patriot factory and gets kicked in the knee by a chumbawumba. so to all you people who think that family guy is a ripoff there is a street hocky game in the middle of time's square....you should join
