Summary: Just not funny.
Review: The only good thing about this show is the baby. Other than that, I can't NOT recommend this series enough. Unless you're a big fan of toilet humor and characters who desperately WANT to be Homer Simpson, but fall sadly short, that is... Don't bother with this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest DVD Set Ever!
Review: DVD is such a great invention. Without it, we probably wouldn't have a series that was only on for four seasons released in a DVD boxed set.

"Family Guy" is quite simply the funniest show I've ever seen. It combines elements from "The Simpsons", "The Critic", and "South Park" into an incredibly funny, sadistic show about a family in Rhode Island. Parts of it border on the absurd, such as the evil monkey that lives in Chris' room. Other parts leave you going "I can't believe they did that!", such as the Hitler jokes in a few episodes.

This set includes all 28 episodes from the first two seasons, some of which have commentary, which really doesn't add much, since those doing the commentary are busy watching the show. But, even without many other extras, outside of promotional spots, it's still worth it just to have every episode available to watch anytime you want.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We have spoken! Let there be a 4th season!
Review: This forty dollar DVD set has been so high as number two on the bestselling DVD charts in America. The fans and public have spoken. Bring new episodes to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim or Comedy Central. DO not let FOX steifel this show's unabashed brilliance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It doesn't come any better then Family Guy

Summary: A great DVD adaption of my favorite show of all time!
Review: What's TV's best Cartoon? The Simpsons? Of course not. Beavis and Butthead? No. South Park? Close but no. It's Family Guy, a show that FOX first aired in 1999, Family Guy has been cancelled twice, last in 2002. Thankfully though the genuises at Cartoon Network cancelled that horrible show, ''Home Movies'' to make room for Family Guy reruns (it currently airs Sun-Thur as part of Adult Swim). When Family Guy was on FOX it was constantly being compared to the Simpsons, and in many cases called a Simpsons [imitation], but I don't think so. Since about 1998 (coincidentally the year before Family Guy aired) The Simpsons were running out of plot ideas, episodes started to get [weak] and relied on, ''The Simpsons go to (insert city) with special celebrity guest (inser name)!'' Family Guy took what The Simpsons started and brought it up a notch, for instance, the baby in the Simpsons has no personality and just sucks on a pacifer. The baby in Family Guy is an ... Genius bent on taking over the world. Another thing that makes Family Guy better than the Simpsons is all those hillarious flashbacks (you'll know what I mean after you see an episode). Also Family Guy has a funny New England flavor to it that makes it great to watch. The only complaint that I have is that not every episode has audio commentary, but at least this is better than South Park's season one dvd. In conclusion buy this DVD.
P.S. My favorite Episode is, ''Lets Go to the Hop'', but look at the titles of the first four episodes to find a hidden joke by the writers.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great show, lousy dvd
Review: This is an amazing show that is hilarious over and over again. However when I viewed the dvds I was very disappointed. While the picture quality is good most of the time, the encoding is so bad that the image frequently becomes fuzzy and any quick movements are blurry and "stripy" (including the movements of their mouths). Maybe if we all write to Fox and complain they will issue a higher quality dvd. One worth inclusion in my dvd library.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME
Review: one of the best telivision shows of all time has to be family guy. it is packed with more grown up humor that will keep u laughing from begining to end. the sum it up in one word its....GREAT!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An incomplete set
Review: Just a couple quick gripes about this collection: the missing unaired episode from season 2 (which hopefully will show up with the next collection), and, far more annoying to me, a good third of the episodes do not include the intro scene before the theme song. For example, in the episode "There's Something About Paulie", the episode begins with the theme song, then goes directly to the Mafia guys taking care of the lemon that Peter had bought during the intro! "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater" does the same thing, going directly from theme song to the "We Only Live To Kiss Your Ass" musical number. Cutting a bit out (eg, Stewie smuggling weapons on a plane) because of sensitivity to a national tragedy is one thing. Leaving whole scenes out to (I'm guessing) fit more content per disk is just plain wrong.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best Animated Shows Ever!!!
Review: I loved the show when it originally came out and watched it religously; needless to say I missed the show after it was cancelled! I bought it the other day and although I remembered it was funny...i forgot HOW FUNNY the show was....I was laughing the whole way through! (The Captain Kirk portrayal is hilarious) ..and it goes on and on as far as the things that make this a Great show.....
This show came and went with a Bang...NOW I OWN it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Family Guy, Bellisima!!
Review: I laughed when it debuted, I cried when it went off the air. Finally, it has made a triumphant return, in the form of DVD. I would have paid 3 times as much as I did for the set. It came today, and I already watched all of season one. To anyone who never watched family guy, or didn't catch a lot of them, this will be the best money you spend on entertainment in your life.
