Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story

First of all, I have been waiting for this series to be released since it was off the air. The title of my review is no mistake: this really was the funniest show ever put on television. It may not have been the most intelligent from time to time, but intelligence does not always dictate funny. The set is worth owning if only for the commentary tracks alone. Seth Macfarlane and various other cast/crew members comment on making the series and the past of the series and even if you arent a die hard Family Guy Fan they make episodes you may have already seen 6 times fresh and even funnier than before. The only reason this set doesnt get the full 5 stars is because I noticed theyve changed some of the jokes, which apparently were too offensive for even the DVD. I say they should have gone all out on the DVD, I mean they can even swear in the commentary tracks so why censor what was already on the air anyways? Despite that disappointment (and Im sure if you dont remember the original series as vividly as I do, it wont be as big of a deal) this show remains a rare gem in the manure pile of modern television. Always edgy, *most* of the time extremely intelligent (Im thinking of the cameo of Benjamin Disrailli) and contantly reminding you of things you didnt know you remembered, The Family Guy can now serve as inspiration to the next generation and for those who werent lucky enough to catch it when it was on the air.

This series was probably one of the best investments Ive ever made on a DVD. Family Guy is by far the best cartoon on television! Some of the best episodes are on this set... including: WASTED TALENT (Take-off of Willy Wonka, Peter wins a Silver Scroll to the brewery)-hilarious episode! DAMMIT JANET (Stewie goes to daycare, Lois gets a job as flight attendent, one of my most favorite scenes- Im Winston Churchill!) HES TOO SEXY FOR HIS FAT (Peter gets liposuction, Chris feels fat, more good lines: Um, sir, you cant park your van on the diving board, Peter: I see you..) ROAD TO RHODE ISLAND (Stewie and Brian go on a trip to find Brians mother) PETORIA (Peter suceeds from the U.S. and makes his own country, hilarious cameos from Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, and Latoya Jackson) I AM PETER, HEAR ME ROAR (Peter tells a sexist joke and goes to a womans camp and becomes too feminine, tries to breastfeed Stewie, funny lines: Why do women have boobs? So youve got something to look at while youre talking to them!, Oh god, Lois, Im late! Wheres that pregnancy test?) So, yeah those are my favorite episodes...I totally recommend buying this DVD set. You will learn to love Family Guy!

Family Guy is the most hilarious,non-politically correct, laugh riot. Seth MacFarlane is a genius. I am absolutely thrilled that this DVD set is available. This was the best show on TV, a great tension reliever (although we laugh so hard we cry), and a shame to have been cancelled. Rumor has it, it IS coming back in spring - HOORAY! Peter Griffin, Brian the Dog, and Stewie the homicidal baby genius are a riot. If you are easily offended, or slow to grasp a joke, dont bother. The jokes fly out of the characters one after another, and are hilariously crude. Family Guy easily beats out The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, King of the Hill, and Beavis and Butthead as the very best humorous cartoon. We have both Vol 1 & 2 and watch them constantly. The kids love the goofiness of Peter Griffin, and are often quoting Stewie BLAST! What the deuce? A MUST HAVE COLLECTION!

Though I am eagerly awaiting its arrival, I have seen the whole series when it was first run and through bootlegs. This show was the best thing to come out of Superbowl XXXI(?). It was the one the Atlanta Falcons lost. Anyway, The last episode was a surprise to me. Though it went of with a bang...I have longed for these episodes with its jabbing humor, unrelenting and ballsy steroetypes and just plain ole slapstick comedy. It was not for your faint of heart viewer. Like all cartoons, the first few epsiodes were finding it niche and cummulated with The Millenium Episode (DaBoom!) where, by and act fo god, and a huge chicken, many people who did not watch the show, began to recognize its humor. Kudos to the producers of Fox to fill the Fans bases hearts with the release of this set and the rest coming this September, hopfully with, Wish upon a Weinstein the unaired episode due to its strong stereotyping of of the Hebrew faith (Optimus Prime makes a cameo). Well, I have praised it enough, have started a small cult here in Iceland, now, I can actually show all of the episodes, and be the envy of an entire military community, AND country

This is my second copy of Vol. 1. The box was slightly damaged on the first copy and it bothered me so much I had to get a new one. I remember when Family Guy first debuted on TV thinking that the idea of a talking baby was ridiculous so I never bothered to watch the program. Then one day I was on YouTube looking at videos and saw a hilarious clip of Family Guy featuring Stewie. I started watching the program after that and was completely hooked after a couple of episodes. I own all the volumes of this show and look at them often laughing hysterically. I would love to choose my favorite characters but that would be impossible since they are all so funny. If you havent watched this program, you are cheating yourself out of an extremely funny and witty show.

I have not yet bought this DVD, but I have seen a whole bunch of the episodes. Just like The Simpsons and South Park, two of the funniest shows ever, it has funny characters and hillarious plots. Seth McFaine can make any situation seem funny, and unlike The Simpsons and South Park, every scene in the episode has something hillarious. I think this is one of the best shows Fox has aired and since they took it off Fox, I am now watching it every night on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. The characters are just one reason that this cartoon is one of the best out there. There is Peter Griffin, the beefy, borderline alchoholic, dumb father and husband, Meg Griffin, the drama queen daughter of Peter, who seems like Peters least favorite of them all, Chris, the second image of Peter, Stewie, the talking, evil, baby genious who wants to enslave the human race and kill Peters wife, Lois, who is the most normal of the Griffin family. And we can not forget Brian, the articulate talking dog. This show is one of my favorites, and one of the most random comedy shows of them all. (Thats what makes it so funny) Let me just tell you one thing, if you know how to laugh, youll love this show.

It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on t.v., especially on Family Guy. It was one of the most extreme television shows in sexual perversion, overt racism, and sacrilege to be allowed to air on prime time. Only an animated series on Fox could get away with its irreverence. It took me a while to muster the courage to buy this DVD set. Occasionally stumbling upon the program in syndication whetted my appetite for its twisted humor. The Rhode Island-based Griffin family is the Simpsons from Hell (or, at least, gone insane) with a talking alcoholic dog, a Machiavellian baby whose ambition is to kill his own doting mother, and an oversexed neighbor whos professed greatest achievement is the number of healthy women to whom hes given VD (no Ned Flanders here). Peter Griffin makes Homer Simpson seem almost stable. The one constant between the two shows is the devoted wife and mother whose unconditional love for her family is baffling. Lois loves her fat, obnoxious, male chauvinistic, perverted oaf and, no matter how mad he often makes her, she ends each episode very happy to be his wife (go figure). If you liked this show during its original broadcasts or are intrigued by the syndicated reruns, this DVD set is really worth the money. It includes all 28 episodes from the first two seasons on 4 discs and has a handful of commentaries, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and Internet promo spots as bonus features. The packaging is also nice with a summary and scene shot for each episode on the back of each case. It is nice to see these episodes released on DVD so quickly (unlike the Simpsons). The menu pages are also very easy to navigate. Commentaries and captions are easy to turn on and off unlike other DVDs I have where they seem to turn on out of nowhere (i.e. King of the Hill). Ive knocked off a star because, like late seasons of the Simpsons, many of the jokes are over-the-top and drag on way past the point where the viewer yells at the t.v., I get it already! The Broadway musical element sometimes added to the shows can be distracting although the lyrics, like the rest of the show, are deliciously warped. And that wicked baby Stewie makes the show. He has some of the best lines ever (this is so good it just has to be fattening). I recommend Family Guy to any fans of animated series like The Simpsons, King of the Hill, South Park, or Futurama who are open-minded and do not mind humor that is not quite so wholesome.

Something something darkside didn’t want to play in my PS5 but otherwise worked when I loaded it onto my computer

purchasing this dvd box set was one of the worst decisions I have ever made. Even as I sat in front of my laptop watching episode after hilarious episode, I could faintly hear the sound of all my ambitions and dreams come tumbling down around me. Within fifty-two hours of the fateful package from Amazon.com arriving in my university mailbox, I had watched all 28 episodes at least once, the eight with commentary twice (once without, once with) and all the special features. thats roughly 14 hours, or ten hours more than I ended up sleeping during that period. If you have anything important to do, I urge you, do not buy this product. However, if you love non-sequiteur, surrealist comedy and you wont be too saddened by, say, flunking genetics, buy this box set. Buy this box set if its the last thing you do.

I got this Movie when it first came out. Well, I have since watched it, and I must say that its just as hilarious watching it for the second, third, fourth time as it was the first. Now, as most people pointed out, this really is just 3 episodes on 1 DVD, but even then, this DVD has so much replay value, I find it hard to care. The jokes at the time were fresh, and just as random as the earlier Family Guy episodes in the first few seasons and rarely are there any flat or dull points. I especially loved the Planes, Trains, and Automobiles reference which leads to Peters new news segment on Channel 5. If you enjoy Family Guy, the earlier episodes/seasons especially, then Im sure youll love this DVD.
