Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story

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.

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...

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 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!

I LOVE FAMILY GUY but was not wanting to spend $40+ on getting the episodes in my collection. This was USED (and not like new) but all the dvds are in great shape. The box covering was scratched up a good bit, but for the price I couldnt complain much and the dvds werent scratched at all, which is the most important part. Arrived right on time, but not that great of packaging in the huge box that it came in, just fyi.

Family Guy must be the single greatest animated comedy show ever made. There is not one episode that is not funny. The creator, Seth McFarlane, is a genius. His humor is witty and he makes use of every scene to bring out laughs. He has a unique style in his writing that incorporates flash back sequences. This tactic gives him the opportunity to put in hilarious (and often ridiculous) scenes into the show without disturbing the flow. The characters follow the basic formula for a sitcom family. Peter is the fat, stupid father. Lois is the smart, sexy wife. Chris is basically his father with an adolescent twist. Meg is the daughter that is desperate for attention. These characters alone are enough for a hit show, but McFarlane adds a few twists. He includes a cultured and facetious dog and a one year-old boy that is bent upon world domination; that is after he kills his mother, Lois, first. Each character is guaranteed to make you laugh and those are only the primary characters. The secondary characters (for example, the sex obsessed friend of Peters, Quagmire) are pure gold. One thing that is found in the Family Guy series that is not found in many other comedy cartoons is the quality of animation. Dont get me wrong, the animation does not look anywhere close to realistic, and I am not advocating that it is. I am saying that the animation plays a role in the comedy. It is entertaining watching the look on Loiss face when Peter tells her something crazy. It is a shame that the show was cancelled, but there is news that every Family Guy fan should hear. Since Family Guy started to air on Cartoon Network, it has gotten better ratings than Jay Lenno and David Letterman for the 11:30 time slot in the 18 to 35 demographic, which is the most valuable demographic by the way; and the DVD sales have grossed more than they could have ever hoped for. As a result, Fox is bringing it back on the air sometime in the beginning of 2005. The will also be sporting an unheard of 15 writers to be on their team. Not only that, but Seth McFarlane is also creating a new show that will be on Fox later this year. Spread the news. Not all TV shows have gone to the dumps. Salvation is on its way.

Family Guy fans will enjoy this one, part II of the Star Wars Trilogy, personally I think it is as great as Blue Harvest, and the animation looks pretty sweet, and the jokes are good, some miss the mark put pretty much spot on with many inside jokes from past family Guy episodes, and we get Meg, who plays the swamp monster when Luke and R2D2 land on Dagaba, and Mort as Lando Calrisson, and the Chicken as Boba Fett, and some nice cameo voices from Family Guy favorite James Woods, James Caan, an old clip of Tom Sellick from Magnum PI. Definitely worth checking out on DVD where it hasnt been edited for TV... looking forward to the Final Chapter when they do Jedi, should be as entertaining as the last two, Family Guy is a great 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!

Not gonna lie this is a really awesome buy

Right off the bat, if you enjoyed the first Family Guy Star Wars fare, youre more than likely going to enjoy this one as well. The jokes arent as good, but theres tons of good references to pop culture and the usual Family Guy quirks. I give it a 3.5 out of 5 for the show itself. But, if you get it, just get it on DVD. The Blu-ray is more expensive and just not worth it since upscalers in BD players will do more than enough to make this work on your HD TV, especially since its not wide screen but the usual 4:3 SD ratio and the graphics dont have high levels of detail. This is the first BD Ive received that really doesnt add absolutely anything to the experience compared to the DVD and Id drop a whole point just for the added cost/lack of worthwhile features over whats on the DVD.
