Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story

This show is one of the funniest on Adult Swim. It now shows on Fox, and another channel, The CW, formerly known as the WB, which hosted some of my favorite tv shows: From Animaniacs and What I Like About You to 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter and Jerry Springer (Yes, as embarrassing as it is to admit, I was once a fan for a few months or so. But dont remind me!). The main characters are Peter Griffin, Chris Griffin, Lois Griffin, Brian (the white pup), Stewie Griffin and last but not least, Meg Griffin who is tortured and put down by nearly everyone, especially her main family! Oh, joy! This cartoon comedy takes place in a fictitious place in Quahog, Rhode Island and the script was finished in 1999, by the uberly awesome, Seth Green, and originally produced for Fox. Peter is very funny, but he holds a somewhat considerate and compromising character, especially when it comes to his dear wife, Lois. Chris Griffin is a douche bag, to be put lightly. Hes pretty clueless, likes to play with his pathetic little paddle ball thing, and thinks about how sad his non-existent sex life is! LOL He also has hinted at being confused at best with his sexuality. I think this has been made clear in 1 or 2 episodes. Once in a while though, when hes not being threatened by the Evil Monkey that scarily points to him from his closet, he manages to spew some thought-provoking knowledge to his parents, and sometimes to Meg. Meg is the unlucky sister of Chris, and the daughter to the hilariously heavy-weight, Peter and the level-headed and overworked mother, Lois. She spends her days trying to fit in and be one of the guys, but seldom does it work! As far as we know, she has had one boyfriend, and it probably lasted a short, short time. He was a loser anyway! Shes relatively smart, but is highly ignored and unaccepted. Next is Stewie, the baby. He is pretty evil when it comes to the way that his brain works. If hes not plotting plans to dominate the majority of the world, hes conjuring a plan to kill his mother, Lois. Stewie talks, but for the most part, it seems that no one really understands him. Lastly, Brian is the intelligent white dog, who also happens to be a smart-mouthed drunkard. Its sad how he falls out of chairs, and falls onto the floor half of the time, but strangely, any human, especially Stewie, understands every word he manages to mumble. This show is number 2 in comical relief to very few Adult Swim shows. The only one that I favor over said show is probably The Oblongs. 4 stars.

I ordered this trilogy, anxiously awaiting it. I selected this on Amazon over buying it locally (Ive bought Something Something Someting Dark Side by itself locally when I found it in widescreen but the other two in stock were full frame) solely because it is listed as 1.77:1, which is 16:9 widescreen. When I received it, there was nothing indicating aspect ratio on the outside of the packaging, so I was skeptical. I opened it and sure enough it is 1.33:1, FULL FRAME aspect ratio. So, tried the return option and it was eligible for exact replacement only. Really? Youre going to engage in fraud and ignore consumer protection laws and not make good on a bad description? I called customer service and explained the situation to a rep and they assured me they would replace it with the correct item. She put me on hold and made a couple of calls. She informed me they would open up the replacement and make SURE it is the advertised aspect ratio. Well, today I received it, opened it (it was still shrink wrapped, which tells me they did NOT inspect it!) and of course, its 1.33:1 FULL FRAME. The product listing very clearly states the following: # Format: AC-3, Animated, Box set, Color, Dolby, DVD, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC # Language: English # Subtitles: English, French, Spanish # Region: Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only. Read more about DVD formats.) # Aspect Ratio: 1.77:1 # Number of discs: 3 So, either Amazon is willfully engaging in Fraud, or their staff is comprised of illiterates. Ill be trying a third time and if they will not resolve it, there will be a chargeback!

I had already owned the first two movies on DVD. But when i saw this set for only 22.99 here on Amazon on Blu Ray, I thought that the deal was too good too pass up. Based on the Amazon description, I wasnt expecting much. Just the BDs and the Bonus features listed which were for the new film. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised when i got this today! Every film includes a digital copy, something not listed by Amazon in the description. In addition, it looks like all the bonus features from the past releases are still there, something that was also not listed by Amazon when I purchased. All this, 3 great BD titles plus digital copies plus tons of bonus stuff..... all for under 8 dollars per title. Cant beat that. Here is a full rundown of the bonus features listed for each title: Blue Harvest: *Audio Commentary from Seth Macfarlane and director, producers, writers, and editors *A Conversation with George Lucas *The Making Of Blue Harvest *Animatic Version of Blue Harvest *Family Guy Star Wars Clip Show( my favorite bonus feature from the past releases) *Uncensored audio track Something Something Something Darkside: *Audio Commentary *Fact Up Version of the feature( kinda like those old VH1 pop-up videos, with fun facts popping up throughout the movie) *Poster Art Featurette *Sneak Peak at the next feature with Table read Its a Trap! *Audio Commentary *A very Special message from Dart Stewie *Star Wars Trivial Pursuit: The ultimate Challenge *Drawing with Peter Shin *Sock Puppet Outtakes *Animatic *Making The Scene featurette That oughta keep you busy for a while, eh? And then there is the feature itself. Well, Im not gonna review that in depth, simply because I think since this hasnt been broadcast yet, many people who buy this will be seeing it for the first time and I dont want to give anything away. But I will say I thought it was just as good as the first two. Really enjoyable. Family Guy fans will not be disappointed with this set. It is a little sad to see it end, since from what i understand there are no plans for making Episode I, II, and III parodies. Hopefully they do something similar, maybe with Back to the Future or Indian Jones, two franchises they are constantly referencing. Cant you just picture Peter and Francis tied up to the chair in The Last Crusade! EDIT: The Its A Trap Digital Copy Disc also features a DVD of the movie. I did not notice it at first.

Great series, but not many people talk about the commentaries, so I will. First off, not all the episodes have commentaries. I imagine this was to save space to include more actual episodes on each DVD by not commentarying everything. There are numerous spots in the commentaries where no one says anything at all, but most dont last more than 3-4 minutes each. I wondered if they had stopped entirely at one point. The voice actor who plays Lois is in most (if not all) of the commentaries, and shes very funny (as is Seth, of course). They do pick on the show (See that? It means Peter is REALLY STUPID) and on each other (No, really, just give me a Yes or a No, Seth, and dont explain, so we can sit here for 20 minutes in silence.) but occasionally Seth or Loiss voice actor will do a character voice cursing or saying something funny (thats quite a laugh). And, of course, theres mention of which scenes were considered riske at the time and which they had trouble getting past the censors. I wish the commentary was on all the episodes, though. Also, I kind of wish it was as full of info as the Futurama or Simpsons commentaries are. I got the feeling they were obligated to do the commentaries for Family Guy, and that perhaps it wasnt by choice.

I liked this show a lot, and this was back in the day before streaming apps, so if you wanted to see something like this you had to get the boxset of the seasons. Now you can buy this stuff directly from the Prime video app and not have to worry about scratched discs or breaking or losing them.

I bought this video not so much because I really like Family Guy, but because I have all DVD releases and I feel it isnt right to exclude any. Now, I did like Seth McFarlanes interpretation of the next story of Star Wars, but I find it hard to keep buying these releases when they are so overpriced (come on, this is just 2 episodes afterall). In the beginnning, a box set was a season, now it is only 13 episodes, or about half a season, and still at the regular list of $40, sooner or later Im gonna call it quits. But, not any time soon. So far.

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

Well, I am a big fan of Family Guy and they finally released something on Blu-ray to boot. Quality is excellent as far as Blu-rays go, but gave this a 3 out of 5 for these reasons. 1. 1 star taken off for not having a 16 x 9 Animorphic ratio for HDTVs. This is shameful for any Blu-ray out there that does not do this automatically. Instead it is cropped in Pan & Scan format. 2. No uncompressed audio. For those who know, Blu-rays have plenty of room to spare and this was only an hour long video, so nothing should be spared. Instead, it seems like movie companies only wish for our hard earned money and dole out these movies because we are too eager to wonder what the faults are. Other than this, it is hilarious and very funny. Highly recommended laughter.

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.

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!
