Summary: Animation at it's best!
Review: The hilarious Griffin family finally gets to DVD!

As a fan of the Simpsons I first thought hat this show was just an overrated flook, but it is GENIUS!

However the funniest character (Stewie) isn't really the main one, Peter gets the job done with his Homer Simpson-like qualities.

Chris and Meg are struggeling and weird teenagers.

Stewie is a baby trying to kill Lois, his mother who is quite borinmg at times.

And Brian is the most sarcastic character since Dogbert.

The flashes are hilarious and the great thing about the show is that they can do whatever they want with cartoons and se it!

BTW the show was only cancelled because after the 2nd season stopped they thought the show was stopping and got other jobs which made the writing for season three a little [worse] and awkward letting many viewers to stop liking the (I think) still admirable show.

BUY THE BEST SHOW EVER NOW!

Summary: Unbelievabley hilarious
Review: This was one of the funniest shows on television, animated or live action. I can't believe it has been canceled again, and this time it seems like it is not coming back. I can't wait for this set to arrive. Every moment in this show was a riot. What the executives were thinking when they canned this gem beats the living hell out of me. ... They continue to put on mindless Joe Millionaire and American Idle ... but something with a true social commentary gets flushed down the toilet?! Being such a huge fan I'm really pleased somebody had an IQ higher than a dead gnat to release this outstanding show to video. Ha Ha In your face FOX Television, In your face!!

Summary: You gonna eat that stapler?
Review: Why fox, why? Never has a show just put me in complete awe with its brilliance. I watch these episodes over and over on my Vcds(i wouldnt give fox the pleasure of buying the dvds and making them more money)...So clever yet so down to earth its great. I used to love the simpsons more than anything out there, now I still laugh at thier new episodes but they really cant compare to Family Guy. To make things worse planetfamilyguy.com has for some reason dissapeared and we are running out of FG memories. I only wish Comedy Central or UPN would pick this show up and give it the timeslot it deserves. There are too many highlights to list ("does this look like a Q? how bout now?")..I know there would be no Family Guy if the Simpsons didnt hit big first, but Family Guy was like a new and improved Simpsons. One of the best part of watching the Simpsons was when they would show flashbacks, etc. Almost every episode of Family guy includes 2-5 flashbacks. Will Family guy ever be reborn? I dont know, but heres hoping...

Summary: BEST SHOW EVAR!
Review: This show OWNED my computer harddrive for sometime. I can't wait to get the episodes in a high quality DVD! This is by far the funniest 20 minutes you can sit down and watch. The wit goes over most of Americas head, but I get it. The showed failed because it was too good. Go figure!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Classic Show Ended Too Quickly
Review: Family Guy. One of the many shows Fox cancelled way before it's time. The baby, Stewie, is one of the best cartoon characters that I have ever seen in all of my cartoon experience. I watched the show on Fox when it was on, and it is unforgettable. Plus, you get two seasons in one set, as opposed to The Simpsons, Futurama, and South Park, where you have to wait one season at a time. Buy this set or be out of the inner circle.

Summary: The best show ever
Review: The demise of Family Guy is a result of the current state of entertainment in our great country. Have you watched TV lately?
A quality, entertaining show like Family Guy is cancelled, and yet, King of the Hill remains on the air. "King" isn't even in the same league as Family Guy. I can't wait for the DVD to arrive. Family Guy consistently kept me rolling on the floor with laughter. How many shows can one say that about?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Family Guy Rules
Review: The Family Guy is by far the funniest show to come along since The Simpsons. I was shocked when it was cancelled for Greg the Bunny. That show sucked and lasted about 1 month. I wish they would bring back the show or at least release new episodes on DVD. This DVD is a must for any Simpsons fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet
Review: I don't know what everybody finds to be funny, but I found this show to be the only one (besides the masterpieces of "Night Stand" and "Conan O'Brien") to make make this former U.S. Marine cry on the floor laughing every episode. This show is for people who love jokes that come out of nowhere. The characters, mostly Peter, say things that you would never expect to ever hear. Not because the jokes are so sick or weird, but just because they are off-the-wall. When Peter said that he couldn't call his new country Peterland ... I was dead. Thankfully, it cut to commercial right then, because I cried for ten minutes. This show does make fun of everyone in the world, but I feel that this is good because it means we are all on the same level. No one is above or BELOW being made fun of in a joking way. If you have seen the entire series, you know all of the "groups" I am talking about. If you know someone that doesn't like this show, pity them. These are the same people who don't understand the appeal of movies like Ace Ventura or the Evil Dead Saga. It really is sad that the only new show left on TV I could watch besides the NFL or the NBA was cancelled. I think all of the other 25-year-olds in the USA feel the same way. "The Critic" and the earlier episodes of "The Simpsons" also deserve some of the same compliments.

Summary: Yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus!!
Review: It was a dark, dark day for tv animation when Fox finally put an end to "Family Guy" after killing it by shifting it around in so many times slots. This is BY FAR one of the funniest animation shows ever put on tv - with so many pop culture references, sight gags, plays on words, and spoofs, it appeals to every level or humor from slapstick to brainiac.

Peter and Lois Griffin head a family (unhygienic son Chris, social-misfit daughter Meg, plotting-to-take-over-the-world-after-he-kills-his-mother baby boy Stewie, and their pet -- a talking dog named Brian who's also an intellectual alcoholic) that is as dysfunctional as it comes. They live in Quahog, Rhode Island, and seem to often know they are a sitcom family, even if the situations they get into are usually more outrageous than most.

This show is for adults, make no mistake - the humor often borders on raunchy - but in watching this show there were times I would laugh so hard I thought I was going to lose bladder control; it is THAT funny.

Fox may have been stupid in not giving "Family Guy" what it deserved while on the air - but my VHS tapes of it that I recorded while the show was on are so worn out with overuse, GOD BLESS FOX for releasing this on DVD -- and not soon enough!!

If you haven't seen "Family Guy," at least rent them when they are released - you will become hooked on this show right away, and wonder (like the rest of us) why Fox didn't treat it better --or fight harder to keep it on the air.
