Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Yes its true. This show is the most twisted and funniest show that had aired on TV. The Simpsons where my favorite show but since the first episode came on of The Family Guy, The Simpsons never been the same for me. I almost though a brick at my TV when I found out that The Family Guy had been cancelled. But I didnt go though with it. I Just prayed and hoped that The Family Guy would come back on or a DVD would come out. So im thankful that the DVD is coming out, I already pre-ordered it because I cant wait any longer. So.. If your a big fan of movies and TV shows and you want to see a show that makes fun of them, then watch The Family Guy. You will enjoy it!, and you will have a great time wathing it over, and over, and over again. ...

Yes, its true. Just like everyone else, I will praise the hell out of Family Guy. But wait. If hundreds of reviewers have praised this cartoon, and tens of thousands of viewers have signed petitions to keep it alive, why is it off the air? This is where Foxs cunning sense of viewership comes in. The knuckleheads over at Fox have consistently taken their most highly rated (and thus controversial) shows off the air. I cannot wait for the day when Family Guy makes a resurgence to television (as it is already starting to do on channels like Comedy Central). For now, however, all us FG addicts will have to satisfy ourselves with the DVD of old episodes. I assure you, these are high-quality, not like the ones we all have ripped on our computers. And the bonus commentary should be electrifying. Buy now, or lose forever.

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.

Im old enough to have seen the original Star Wars trilogy as a first run in the theaters, and these things bring back memories. Family Guy is unique in that it riffs on a lot of pop culture references, but they arent all recent pop culture. Somehow, these meld together in an enjoyable parody of what most consider the best of the Star Wars movies. Without going into a lot of detail, they nail what needs to be nailed. The filler parts are a little hit and miss, and you can tell how drawn out this process is by watching the table reads. The famously ad-libbed scene from the original where Leia tells Han she loves him (after being so stand-offish the entire movie) is incredibly funny for pretty much anyone, while show-specific references (Stewies confused sexuality, Cleveland falling off of something saying, No, no, NO NO!, and so on) are geared toward Family Guy fans. There are a few dry spells that seem rushed. I get that Yoda is Chriss boss from the show and he has memorized every naked person scene from every movie, but why didnt he reference those with Yodas unique sentence structure? The Juicy Fruit ad seemed more suited to a regular episode rather than a movie parody. The exact same electricity is out seemed to exist just to give them another 20 second spoof of something on TV. As a whole, though, the package delivers. For those not familiar with Family Guy, it may seem bizarrely tasteless at times. For those that dont know the original Star Wars trilogy, the story references and the plot in general will probably be a little confusing as its part two of a trilogy. For fans of both, its well worth the price of admission.

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!
