Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story

Watched all three episodes last night and felt pretty disappointed by this set. The first 2 episodes, Blue Harvest & Something Something Dark Side were hilarious, but Its A Trap was pretty lame. Many of the other reviews cover this too as right at the very beginning on the scrolling text it states that they didnt want to do Return of the Jedi, but Fox made them and much of the episode was written by the assistants or interns. Many of the jokes are rehashed and unfunny. Its A Trap is the only episode presented in widescreen. Very disappointing especially on a Blu-ray release. Also, Blue Harvest is not even in HD quality. It looks like its just plain dvd version slapped onto the blu-ray disc. you see many jaggies and unsmooth lines. Something Something Dark Side is in HD, but not widescreen. At $22 for a blu-ray set, even with all its downfalls, its still not a bad deal. Plus, like I said, the first 2 are great and made me laugh the whole time. But, I do feel very let down by the laziness in this release.

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

I find this series to be absolutely hilarious! I am so glad somebody at Fox got smart, and brought this one back! It is so funny! I like the fact that this is a cartoon, so they can do the completely bizarre side jokes, on a regular basis. It is funny in live action movies, but more creative and hilarious in cartoons. The fact that the same guy does so many voices is also very brilliant. But what differentiates this guy from other shows like The Simpsons, and Eddie Murphy, etc, is it is virtually impossible to tell the difference between his characters voices. I would definitely buy this DVD set, or UMD set, and give it two high hard ones way up! MC White said: Check it out!!!

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!

I liked the first Star Wars movie the best. The originality of the film made it my favorite. I liked subsequent episodes too, but they lacked the originality of the first. I tend to feel that way about most sequels. The same goes for the Family Guy Star Wars series. I liked the first episode the best. The other two seemed somewhat repetitive.

Ill preface this by saying Im NOT a fan of the Family Guy; by which I mean Ive never seen the show, not that I have anything against the show. Just never got around to getting into it, yknow? I am, however, a lifelong, diehard (insert more hyperbole here) fan of Star Wars. Im hoping that anyone whos a fan of both has already purchased this or has seen it, so this review is geared sort of toward my fellow noobs to Family Guy. So, for 20-something bucks, this seemed like a good buy. Some cheap entertainment on Blu-Ray, no less! Well, the picture quality, as many others have said, was not something that justifies a blu-ray treatment. I mean, were not talking Pixar here, guys. Its a cartoon. I got the regular DVD of Archer and it was frankly kinda gorgeous. I was more impressed by the quality of the Archer DVD than I was by the Family Guy Blu-Ray. As far as the box sets treatment of Star Wars, I honestly cant remember a Star Wars scene that was left out of this! It literally tells the whole story of the original Star Wars trilogy in like an hour and a half. With lots of parody, of course. A lot of it is funny. A couple parts made me LOL Out Loud (tip of the hat to Monk... miss ya, man). But a few of the jokes were taken too far (by that, I mean they went on too long). Im told this is kind of common with Family Guy, and maybe its Seth MacFarlanes sense of humor, but some of the jokes went on WAY too long. Like the Obi-Wan character singing the majority of Ive Had the Time of my Life with dancing stormtroopers in the background (gobbling up precious minutes). Without wanting to get into spoilers, there are a few other gags that just drag on and on. If youre a fan of this, then youve got it made. I just found it irksome. One of them was actually really funny, but my smile fell after the gag passed the 45 second mark, or what seemed like it. All in all, though, I WAS entertained by this. The opening crawls were hilarious. I may have peed a little. There is strong language, but my 7 year old (DONT JUDGE ME!! IVE NEVER SEEN THE FAMILY GUY!) barely noticed and enjoyed watching the shows (though I feel so dirty). Thankfully the sexual innuendoes flew RIGHT over her head. But there are those, too. So thats something. :) I also think I would have gotten MORE out of this set if I had any familiarity with the Family Guy characters. Never having seen the show, and seeing as how the Star Wars characters are portrayed by these characters, I think I missed a very important (and presumed) aspect that may have really entertained or charmed someone else. Im emotionally and socially hobbled by my lack of Family Guy familiarity. So theres the disclaimer in long form. :) Bottom line is, hey, its like 20 bucks. If youre a Star Wars fan, itll be very nostalgic and probably asks some of the questions youve been asking for 30 years. Often I said to myself Yeah.. why IS that?? when a character pointed out a glaring inconsistency or error in George Lucas writing/science/sense of reality. It was fun. And it was 20 bucksish. Do consider the DVD version, though. I dont know the price difference, but if its significant, know that the quality difference is not. May the Schwartz be with you all. And no, the Schwartz is not involved in the plot of this film.

Been a Family Guy fan ever since they first came out and through the cancellations. This set I had to get because it had blue harvest on Blu-Ray even though I have the movie on regular DVD. The last one wasnt as good as the first 2 but you have to do the last one since they did the first 2. I would recommend anyone to get this as an upgrade for their set if they are a family guy fan. Its a must have for the Family Guy fan that has a Blu-Ray Player.

I bought this as a gift for my brother. He was thrilled to get it. He’s a huge fan of both Star Wars and Family Guy, so it was perfect. Highly recommend!

I watched the Blu Ray last weekend and I thought it was great. Yes, the 4:3 bugged me, but Im sure they started the animation on this a while ago and animation is expensive, so give it a rest already. In fact, I know they did because some of the info in the pop-up video was well over a year old. It really felt longer than an hour, even the second and third times when I watched the pop-up and commentary versions. I loved the feature about recreating the original movie poster, that showed a lot of class on Seth and the Producers parts. Check out the level of detail in the ships, its crazy. I laughed out loud many times, got all the jokes and loved the profanity. A+ Seth! And again with Robot Chicken at the end! Freaking fabulous! I <3 MacFarlane and Green. Cant wait for the next one, and Ill be buying

I have to start this review by noting if youre into family guy, or spoofs of star wars, youll enjoy this. Now is it worth buying is the real question, especially given that itll probably end up on tv at some point. Well, the answer really depends on your love of the subject matter. As with the other reviews, theres been criticism for this one being less funny than the other, but thats not surprising given that Empire Strikes Back, the movie parodied, is such a strongly made movie. In some ways, it leads the movie to being more of a retelling of the film, rather than an actual parody, and so its not as funny as blu harvest, which is so easy to parody. Its not bad, just not as funny as before. So, youre desire to own this depends on your level of devotion to the source material. Its funny, but not as funny as before. Also, please note: the DVD version does NOT contain a digital copy, like blue harvest did. That is only available for the blu ray version apparently. So if youre expecting two copies, youre only getting one.
