Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story

Last night I watched the entire version of Family Guy Presents - Stewies Untold Story and I enjoyed it. As I read some of the past reviews, I noticed that some viewers didnt think of it like the TV show, and I could understand that viewpoint. It was a little slow in the beginning, but it ends with one of the best Family Guy endings ever. As far as special features go... I think there could have been a lot more features but I can only hope the producers hope to make this up to us in Season Four (Volume 3) of Family Guy coming out on DVD in late November. Finally, (as I was one of the first reviewers that mentioned this), to select the uncensored audio track go into Language Selection and select it from the menu. The edited audio track is the default one, and personally I believe that is a good idea for those younger viewers out there. Overall, I thought the movie deserved 5 stars and to Seth... send out more of those direct-to-DVD movies/specials from Family Guy!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Definitely had some good laughs, however wasnt a side splitter if you will. I had seen the shows before, so I knew what I was getting. A complaint (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) was the video quality of the first movie, Blue Harvest, was essentially that of an up-converted DVD. Putting in the other two movies will make you realize the vast improvement in the quality compared to the first. The extras were for the most part entertaining and interesting. The commentary was very similar to the commentary on the DVDs of the show except with more information on production, ideas about S.W., etc. Ive very satisfied with my purchase, especially for the price of $23 for the set. I just wished 1/3 of the video quality lived up to the other 2/3!

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!

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 ;)

Think of the dry cool wit of the Simpsons, combined with the provacative humor of All in the Family, and I think youll have a pretty good idea of Family Guy. There are parts where youll laugh out loud and immediately feel guilty about laughing at the joke. Stewie is by far the utlimate evil genius and closet drag queen, always foiled by Lois, his mother. Brian, the talking dog, seems to provide balance, despite being an alcoholic and recovering cocaine addict. Then of course there is Peter, the dad, who is your stereotypical stupid father and would be strongly compared to Homer Simpson on his worst days. This is perhaps the funniest two and a half seasons of a show that has ever been. However, with this collection you only get the first and second seasons. Adam West as the mayor is a great touch too. I think you can tell that Im a huge fan, since this review is all over the place. Before you sit down and purchase this, it might be a good idea to check out the Family Guy on television, I believe its on one of the Cartoon channels at night sometime. The show isnt for everyone, and some people might be a bit offended by the humor.

First off let me just say that Family Guy sucks!!! I cant stop watching it. I bought both box sets the day they came out and I bought the Freakin Sweet Collection the day it came out. I had downloaded all the episodes and the American Dad pilot before they were available to purchase. I have watched every episode over 100 times. I love this show it is the greatest thing EVER written!!! (in my humble opinion) I am on all the mailing lists for news of the show from FOX, FamilyGuyFiles, and PlanetFamilyGuy. I own all the series of collectibles that came out from Metco and those bendy ones also. What I am trying to say is I am powerless to resist the awesomeness of this show. [...] So if you have never watched this show you should. You should buy every box set that comes out and encourage all your friends to do so too. Or better yet buy your friends copies like I did. But BEWARE!!!! Once you start you cant stop. And dont ever, ever, ever fall asleep watching it because you will have really really WIERD dreams. I did it and told my friends about it and now they too suffer from Family Guy induced wierdness when they sleep. If you dont believe me go try it. So in conclusion FAMILY GUY SUCKS FOR TAKING OVER MY TV LIFE!!!! GO BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!
