Summary: Yea...
Review: ... "two episodes on four discs", those are the episodes with commentaries on them. The set has 28 episodes of 4 discs. Think first, review second.

Good show, yes, but why don't we get the same treatment as the Region 2 people? Price seems good, as HBO shows go for double this with the same ammount of discs. Pick this up if you like the show. Buy a region two DVD player and this DVD in that format if you like the show even more.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 28 episodes across 2 DVD's -- that's 7 per DVD.. GREAT BUY!
Review: I have been living so ling with my worn out video tapes of the Family guy that I would have paid more then what is being charged.. I never even thought that a DVD would even make the light of day.. But i am thatnkful that it has come to pass.. to comment on what other people are saying, I hope that when (and if) a season 3 comes out they put the unaired episodes on that one. and editing out a joke is WRONG!! This leads me to wonder that when it comes time for the Simpsons DVD with the World Trade Center episode in it, they will leave it out completely..

Summary: Regarding dpcole7's review
Review: ...I think Family Guy was an amazingly funny show. If you enjoy the Simpsons, but would like a more 'realistic' and 'hard' edge to the type of jokes, try it on for size, you'll be crying laughing.

Summary: Blew My Mind
Review: When I first saw The Family Guy it just blew my mind. It instantly became one of my favorite cartoons. It's one of those cartoons where you have to catch the little funny things that appear out of nowhere. I burst out laughing throughout every episode. The characters are hilarious, a little similar to the Simpsons. The dad is a big idiot, the mom is the normal one, the daughter is an average teen trying to fit in, the baby (my favorite) is a power-hungry freak who hates everybody, and the dog (the smartest in the family). Overall these crazy characters in funny, psychotic predicaments add up to a side-splittind good time.

Summary: 2 episodes per disc? For $...?!!!
Review: "Family Guy" is an awesome show, particularly in its first and second seasons.

But, like Time Life's "Fat Albert" offer, 2 episodes on one disc is just a blatent rip off. Especially when there are plenty of TV shows being released on a per-season level for $...(or as low as $...!)

It's a great show, but I'll live with taped copies for a while.

A loooooooooooooong while.

Is FOX trying to steal from its fans? This is ridiculous!

Forget 'em if this is how they're going to treat we, the consumers.

Summary: BETTER THAN THE SIMPSONS!
Review: Here's the honest truth, America: "Family Guy" is the one show that tops "The Simpsons". Honestly, can you IMAGINE what this show could have been if it had been allowed to continue? Unfortunately, it was just too witty, satirical and shocking for the American palate.
Now, here is why I think "Family Guy" deserves to be ranked among the best shows ever. What "Family Guy" really is is a facade of outrageous humor that masks a secret agenda: to show our American life for what it really is. The absurd situations in which Peter consistently finds himself are indicative not of a crazy made-up world, but our America and our way of life. You'll notice that while the adventures of the Simpsons unfold in the Springfield of a state that is never revealed, the very first episode of "Family Guy" informs us that the Griffins make their home in Rhode Island, though the name of the town itself is fictional. I believe that this points to an undeniable "realness" of the show as a whole: the characters do human things, and more importantly they exhibit characteristics (and problems) of the real modern world. Peter is dense and absorbed by TV, Meg is run-down by the pressures of being a girl (she has a friend who encourages her to throw up to get thin), Lois is underappreciated by her family, Brian is a recurrent problem drinker, and Chris is a typically overweight adolescent who leaves the house every day "to go get wasted". Those are just the main characters! However, to really appreciate this show and its VERY well-written storylines, you'll just have to watch it. I guarantee you you'll be shocked, surprised and, if you have even the slightest predisposition towards laughter, on the floor before the end of the first episode. All hail "Family Guy", the best show of all time!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a waste...
Review: ...for FOX to cancel this show that is. A show that for sure borrows from, but by far surpasses, the Simpsons. Luckily this DVD is released so .... Perfect character chemistry, hillarious parody, and genius comedy all come together here. If you've never seen it, do yourself a favor and buy it. And if you have seen it, well then you are most likely buying it already. Pure, unadulterated laughter.

6 stars here.
