Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story

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.

I wont talk about the movie. If you like family guy youll like this and if you think family guy stinks then this will not change your opinion. I debated how much getting the blu ray would be worth it and I can tell you it is WELL worth it! The sharpness is incredible on the picture and like the sound is also top shelf. I dont have this on DVD to compare it to, but comparing it to Blue Harvest on DVD this blu ray BLOWS AWAY the DVD. So, if youre already set on buying the movie, if you have a blu ray player pay the extra couple bucks and get the blu ray version. You wont regret it, at least as far as clarity and sound is concerned ;)

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.

Mindless silliness that has no redeeming value but being mindless, silly, entertainment. No wait, one would have to have a mind, and the knowledge and/or the experience of pop culture, and pop world history to get most of the jokes in the show. The title alludes that it is a show for the family but it is certainly not. And guys, your chick, your wife or any female around when you turn this thing on will not like it. They will find something better to do while you watch it alone or with your guy friends. Now is that what you want? Oh. You say youre a collector and know the value of such things in the future market? Perhaps Fox saw the writing on the wall when the Family Guy writers took the path they took. Its Peter, Peter, Peter. The Simpsons is a slightly better show because it sometimes has stories focused on Marge, Lisa, Maggie and not only Homer or Bart. Maybe the Family Guy guys should consider writing more for Meg and Lois--the poor things always lose. (I dont think The Simpsons draw a big female audience either--gals dont care for animated shows as much as guys do.) The rolling commentary given by whoever worked on the show was disappointing because they go silent when some of the shows grossly odd scenes show up, begging to be explained. It made me cry What were they thinking of here? A final thing: weve all gotten used to the way this show puts its humor across: the out of control cut-to vignette that has nothing to do with the main story line and usually summoned when one of the characters says just like the time when Peter, celebritys name, historical figure, or pop culture name did something. Youd think it would get tired after the run of this show but weve have gotten used to it to our detriment. On a recent viewing of the current broadcast run Stewie summons up a vignette and pauses. After a good 10 seconds he looks up at the ceiling, rolls his eyes and says, Oh, I thought we had something to come in here. Tag this DVD a guilty pleasure that you can watch now on reruns in major markets instead of purchasing.

I pre-ordered this set about 5 months before it was to be released and for the most part, Im pretty happy with it. The only down side is, I dont think the second season is totally complete. Also, I was under the impression that the un-aired When you wish apon a Weinstein episode was here too. Its not, which was a little disappointing. I can only hope that Volume 2 has that particular episode, and the rest of season two, as well. After all, I think season three was kind of short. On a whole, this is a really good edition, and I cant wait to see the next one!

Well it has arrived, the second instalment in the Family Guy Star Wars project. Now that I have finally seen it after months of anticiaption I have to say it was good, but it was definitely not what Empire was to New Hope. First and foremost, this second installment was not going to be a surprise like the first one was. Something 3X Darkside was based on the exact same map as Blue Harvest Macfarlane and company stuck true to the origional film using their infamous humor and pop culture references. I will say there were some moments that caused me to laugh a lot so that was a plus. Another plus was the new characters introduced to play the rolls of the new Star Wars characters...yes even Meg makes her triumphant return. Still, there are some flaws here. I think that this new installment could have been a little different. An example would be how Peter tells the story, it didnt have to be another blackout. Also, the end of the episode ends up in another battle between Chris and Peter about Robot Chicken which makes no sense what so ever because Seth MacFarlane has plenty of Roles on Robot Chicken so Ihave no idea why he takes shots at it. Most importantly as a Family Guy fan I am not a fan of the fact that Stewie is an ambiguously gay character. If you want to use that comedy in the show its one thing, but dont bring that persona to Darth Vader. This is a movie that is suppose to be dark and it is really hard to lighten up a chapter such as this. Though all in all I think it was a well done piece of work and I am looking forward to Family Guy: We Have A Bad Feeling About This, I sure hope that thre will be a total of six episode, because I think they will rip Episode 1 to know end which will be pee in your pants hillarious!

To all who consider buying this product....stop considering. Family guy volume 1 is an unbelievable non-stop funny as h411 riot that may cause involuntary urinati0n. The fact that this show was canceled is a sin. I heard that it was canceled because to many Catholic groups are complaining about the inappropriateness. Why? hmmm maybe because Family Guys humor is too close to the TRUTH! Maybe thats why. These religious fanatics and concerned parents are loving living in their little surreal fantasy. Well to all you parents and religious people: Go f yourselves!!! Better yet, go f your sister because thats what gives you jollies! Am I right? Oh yeah Im right.

This DVD is awesome. Family Guy is quite possibly the only show I love more than The Simpsons. A word of caution though, some of the jokes are very crude and in some cases racy, but its all done in good fun. However, if your not easily offended, youll be laughing from the very first episode to the last one on this set. An example of the crazy humor in youll find in Fmaily Guy is a scene where Peter (the father) fights a giant chicken for 5 while minutes. The fights takes them from the sidewalk, to a truck, to a helicopter, then on top of a skyscraper. In the same episode, Peter is informed of Y2K by a man in a chicken costume. After the apocalipse that is Y2K, Peters family then goes off in search of the Twinky factory because as everyone knows, only roaches and twinkies can survive a nuclear blast. Crazy enough for ya? Guest voices include, Adams West and Norm MaDonald (as Death). About the only thing I didnt like about this DVD set is that there werent more commentaries on the episodes. They were hilarious and I felt that the commentaries really added to the whole experience, however, Seth MacFalane (the creator) should really have provided commentary for a few more episodes.

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

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!
