Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story

If you enjoyed the prequal, Blu Harvest, or even if you didnt you will enjoy this movie. It helps to watch the first to understand some of the references, but it is really not required. This was a truly great movie and it actually had me laughing out loud. I would certainly reccomend this to any family guy fans, and even thoughs who just kind of like it. The only reason I was not able to give this DVD 5 stars is the extras that were on the disc were a little lacking, there were some but not enough. the ones that were on the disk were mainly cast readings and not very good.

Not quite as good as I remembered....but still Family Guy, so how can you loose? Shut up Meg!

1. What are the two episodes per disk people talking about? Theres 5 to 7 on all of them. 2. Simpsons folks - there is no comparison. The two shows are too different. This is not a copy; its more creative and hard edged. The Simpsons is more polished; but Family Guy is funnier. (Sorry, its the truth.) 3. For a 2 1/2 season show; Ill let DVD sales and Cartoon Network ratings speak for me. It has been reported in TV Guide that Adult Swim is beating the ratings of Letterman, Leno and Kilborn (each) in 18 to 34 males. (Amazing) 4. I watch a lot of TV but I never knew Family Guy existed until it was already cancelled and they were showing the last episodes on Thursday. (2 hour blocks) If I didnt know about it; I doubt most others did. So its ratings were actually amazing. 5. DAMN FOX TO HELL!!! Fox totally screwed this show!!!!!!!

When I first saw ads for the Family Guy, I thought it sounded good - except for Stewie. Just goes to show how wrong I can be! When I watched the show, I discovered its not good - its GREAT! And Stewie? Well, he & Brian are my two favorites. I love the way they play off each other. Which may be why Road to Rhode Island is my favorite episode. (Like a masochist in Newport, were Rhode Island bound! Classic!) Two quibbles. I am so bummed that they cut out the scene where Stewie smuggles weapons past airport security and says Lets hope Osama bin Laden doesnt know show tunes. What a gyp! I havent made it to the very end yet, so maybe its in the deleted scenes. I hope! That bit was hilarious! If not, well, I have my memories. The other quibble is with people that do write ups with no apparent sense of what they are talking about. In the description of Mind Over Murder it says that Meg becomes an acclaimed lounge singer. Hello? On the planet Reality its LOIS that becomes the lounge singer. Gentle griping aside, the Family Guy is the best thing to hit television since, well, since nothing. It is THE best thing - bar none. My husband and I look forward to many, many hours of side-splitting hilarity with our Family Guy dvd set. If you have a decent sense of humor & are not easily offended, its worth a peek! Try it, youll like it! As quickdraw Peter says SHAZAM!

Family guy is by far the funniest and intelligently written cartoon comedies, no no, television show out there. I first discovered this gem on dvd... I had previously watched one or two episodes on fox, but because of the edgy material fox put the show on at crazy times, and never stuck to a schedual. But since the show has been released on dvd a huge fan following has appeared over night and rightfully so! Family Guy has the normal cartoon (simpsons) make-up the oaft of a dad, loveable as always is Peter Griffen. Peter is one of my favorite characters. Lois Griffen is the glue that holds the family together. Chris Griffen is the troublesome son. Meg Griffen is the self-conscious daughter. But family guy has some unique characters as well Brian, the talking dog, is absolutely hilarious and is Peters complete opposite. Funnily enough, Brian is the intellectual character and always has some profound comment on any subject! And of course Stewie. How can you forget Stewie.... the bond villian like baby who is obsessed with killing his own mother!! All of these core characters and of course the numerous other hilarious ones Joe, Loretta, Clevland, and Quagmire--giggidy giggidy make for one hilarious, edgy, and just flat out funny television program No review would be complete without mentioning the one element that makes family guy what it is. The cut scenes.. that time when a character says remember when... or Ive been there... and then the viewer is swooped to different scene often with an hilarious outcome!! Every episode is great... there is no way to pick a favorite... there is a moment in every episode where I was laughing so hard it hurt!! Every time I pop one of these dvds in keep thinking why couldnt I have come up with this!! The writers on this show are the best around!!! This a is a cant miss program for any person who just loves laughing. And lets be honest who hates laughing!

This show is one of the funniest on Adult Swim. It now shows on Fox, and another channel, The CW, formerly known as the WB, which hosted some of my favorite tv shows: From Animaniacs and What I Like About You to 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter and Jerry Springer (Yes, as embarrassing as it is to admit, I was once a fan for a few months or so. But dont remind me!). The main characters are Peter Griffin, Chris Griffin, Lois Griffin, Brian (the white pup), Stewie Griffin and last but not least, Meg Griffin who is tortured and put down by nearly everyone, especially her main family! Oh, joy! This cartoon comedy takes place in a fictitious place in Quahog, Rhode Island and the script was finished in 1999, by the uberly awesome, Seth Green, and originally produced for Fox. Peter is very funny, but he holds a somewhat considerate and compromising character, especially when it comes to his dear wife, Lois. Chris Griffin is a douche bag, to be put lightly. Hes pretty clueless, likes to play with his pathetic little paddle ball thing, and thinks about how sad his non-existent sex life is! LOL He also has hinted at being confused at best with his sexuality. I think this has been made clear in 1 or 2 episodes. Once in a while though, when hes not being threatened by the Evil Monkey that scarily points to him from his closet, he manages to spew some thought-provoking knowledge to his parents, and sometimes to Meg. Meg is the unlucky sister of Chris, and the daughter to the hilariously heavy-weight, Peter and the level-headed and overworked mother, Lois. She spends her days trying to fit in and be one of the guys, but seldom does it work! As far as we know, she has had one boyfriend, and it probably lasted a short, short time. He was a loser anyway! Shes relatively smart, but is highly ignored and unaccepted. Next is Stewie, the baby. He is pretty evil when it comes to the way that his brain works. If hes not plotting plans to dominate the majority of the world, hes conjuring a plan to kill his mother, Lois. Stewie talks, but for the most part, it seems that no one really understands him. Lastly, Brian is the intelligent white dog, who also happens to be a smart-mouthed drunkard. Its sad how he falls out of chairs, and falls onto the floor half of the time, but strangely, any human, especially Stewie, understands every word he manages to mumble. This show is number 2 in comical relief to very few Adult Swim shows. The only one that I favor over said show is probably The Oblongs. 4 stars.

Yes its true. This show is the most twisted and funniest show that had aired on TV. The Simpsons where my favorite show but since the first episode came on of The Family Guy, The Simpsons never been the same for me. I almost though a brick at my TV when I found out that The Family Guy had been cancelled. But I didnt go though with it. I Just prayed and hoped that The Family Guy would come back on or a DVD would come out. So im thankful that the DVD is coming out, I already pre-ordered it because I cant wait any longer. So.. If your a big fan of movies and TV shows and you want to see a show that makes fun of them, then watch The Family Guy. You will enjoy it!, and you will have a great time wathing it over, and over, and over again. ...

This is my favorite show ever and I was very upset when fox cancelled it. Fox is the reason the shows ratings went down because no one could find it. I would always go to see it and it would be on a different timeslot.I really dont think it is right to compare family guy to the simpsons. Yes, they are both about families but no one compares every live-action sitcom about families. And although the simpsons is a classic, and i love it, i have never laughed harder at any other show than at family guy. The show is written brilliantly and few comedies have been written on the same level as this show. It is a must buy, Ive never talked to anyone who hasnt like the show and thats including my mother and grandmother. The show definately steps over the politcially correct liine, but the way they do it is hilarious. Almost every line in this show has its own punch line, and I recommend this dvd set for anyone and the next one also, which I have pre-ordered. Every episode on both dvds is a classic in its own right. Buy the dvd sets and support Seth MacFarlanes comical genius.

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 isnt so blatant in shock value as Southpark. In fact, I seriously loved this series when it was on the air and Im thrilled that now that its available on DVD, I can watch my favorite episodes whenever I want. If youre 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 its 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 arent 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 dont 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. Theres 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.

As often happens with the truly amazing shows, propper recognition is posthumously awarded. Well, Family Guy is not the exception to the rule. For so long I thought I was alone in my love of this show. It warms my heart to find others who mourn its loss. First, Id like to say that the other reviews were Too Right!!! There is little I could add ... but, Ill try. Yea; the closest analogy would be the illigitimate love child of the Simpsons and South Park, but as has been stated, there is so much more to it. The shows format is not so much a structured program, as a train of thought. As in a daydream (or, Im told, a good trip), it wanders from one random subject to another, swinging back to a psudo-reality only when absolutly necessary. Add that to its razor wit and a PC reverence on a level with an Eminem -book on tape- reading of The Idiots Guide to The Satanic Verses, and you have a gem that fans cherish and networks cancle...
