> 3 dayI lost my copy during a divorce, one of the worst things about the split. So happy to have it back in my possession. If you are a Family Guy fan, I have no doubt that you will get a kick out of the movie.

Greater than one weekDear Amazon.com Purchasers, I REALLY love Family Guy and especially the Star Wars Parodies.I really enjoyed Family Guy Presents:Blue Harvest,The first Star Wars Parody based on Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope,as funny as Something,Something,Something,Dark Side was,with all Its Fart and Funny Cut-In Ads,I,However was not all satisfied that it did not let you have this on CENSORED it was only UNFAIRLY UNCENSORED!!! I did not like how the cast HAD to say The F Bomb 4 times and the SH [ONCE BULL] Word 2 Times. I Know Seth MacFarlane [Creator Of Family Guy]is jewish and all but I personally feel that this movie did not need cursing to make funny.As a matter of fact,The uncensored words were the only times that i did not laugh at.This was the first ever Family Guy DVD that did not let you click CENSORED in Extras or Settings/Audio.Other than this censorship disturbinse this thing was pretty darn good! From,Christian Antonio Collazo And Stop Not Finding This Genius HELPFUL!!!

> 3 dayI was a little shocked to actually hear the F word come out of the characters mouths- I was expecting a decent amount of bleeps- but was pleasently suprised when there were no bleeps to be heard- no blurs or black boxes (except for one- but I feel it needed to be done)- and I almost peed my pants at the sight of Sgt Scrotes, and the line ......anything with an amputee (youll have to see it to understand). As with any Family Guy episode there are the occassional groaner, but for the most part it stays true to the TV series. After a near death experience, Stewie tries to be a better person as to not end up in hell (his glimpse into his possible eternity of damnation left him frightened for his soul) After giving up on being nice, Stewie happens to catch a glimpse of a man on Television who has an uncanny resemblence to him- so he sets out, with Brian, to find the man who he believes is his REAL father. The movie gives a glimpse into a possible future for the Griffin family, and, as in the TV series, Megs future is the most interesting, and as it always is in the show, the meanest (what do they have against Meg anyway?) For the Hardcore Family Guy fan (those that felt that its first cancellation was a crime to TV, and rushed out to grab a copy of the the first season when they heard it was being released and missed many nights of sleep waiting for the day- yep - like me)- this is a must see, for casual fans of the show- eh- maybe- if you hate the show- just avoid it. Sure, its not a pinnacle in animation- far from it (rememeber, this is a show that pushes the envelope on good taste, its no Beauty and the Beast) I do think it wouldve been fun as a musical (which couldve used a ton of Disney/Classic Musical movie parodies- but still funny)

> 3 dayI mean, seriously, Laugh it up, Fuzzball? Leave it to News Corp to ruin a great opportunity. Other than that, a fantastic collection of the same great stuff youd expect. Was it worth it to get it in Blu-Ray? Meh. You could tell it was in HD, but I dont know if it made that much of a difference in watching it. It was worth to buy it to see all the extra little jokes and special features that you dont get just watching it on Fox or on Adult Swim.

16-11-2024As you already know, the show is hilarious and these 4 DVDs capture the complete first two seasons. Unlike some other people, I found the DVD layout to be fine. Included is a brief commentary by the shows creators. Its not as easy to include extras in an animated series, but it doesnt matter; the material itself is worth more than gold. I have a new DVD player and witnessed no problems whatsoever with the DVD encoding. The picture quality was perfect. I dont really understand why others would complain, but suspect it is their equipment and not these DVDs. It is true that there is a slight delay when waiting for the programs to load so that several warning screens can be displayed. (But this is par for the course with many DVDs.)

> 3 dayIm 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.

> 3 dayIt seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on t.v., especially on Family Guy. It was one of the most extreme television shows in sexual perversion, overt racism, and sacrilege to be allowed to air on prime time. Only an animated series on Fox could get away with its irreverence. It took me a while to muster the courage to buy this DVD set. Occasionally stumbling upon the program in syndication whetted my appetite for its twisted humor. The Rhode Island-based Griffin family is the Simpsons from Hell (or, at least, gone insane) with a talking alcoholic dog, a Machiavellian baby whose ambition is to kill his own doting mother, and an oversexed neighbor whos professed greatest achievement is the number of healthy women to whom hes given VD (no Ned Flanders here). Peter Griffin makes Homer Simpson seem almost stable. The one constant between the two shows is the devoted wife and mother whose unconditional love for her family is baffling. Lois loves her fat, obnoxious, male chauvinistic, perverted oaf and, no matter how mad he often makes her, she ends each episode very happy to be his wife (go figure). If you liked this show during its original broadcasts or are intrigued by the syndicated reruns, this DVD set is really worth the money. It includes all 28 episodes from the first two seasons on 4 discs and has a handful of commentaries, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and Internet promo spots as bonus features. The packaging is also nice with a summary and scene shot for each episode on the back of each case. It is nice to see these episodes released on DVD so quickly (unlike the Simpsons). The menu pages are also very easy to navigate. Commentaries and captions are easy to turn on and off unlike other DVDs I have where they seem to turn on out of nowhere (i.e. King of the Hill). Ive knocked off a star because, like late seasons of the Simpsons, many of the jokes are over-the-top and drag on way past the point where the viewer yells at the t.v., I get it already! The Broadway musical element sometimes added to the shows can be distracting although the lyrics, like the rest of the show, are deliciously warped. And that wicked baby Stewie makes the show. He has some of the best lines ever (this is so good it just has to be fattening). I recommend Family Guy to any fans of animated series like The Simpsons, King of the Hill, South Park, or Futurama who are open-minded and do not mind humor that is not quite so wholesome.

> 3 dayStewie the matricidal child genius rules! Whoever said that Americans dont do comedy has never seen Family Guy. This is humour at its edgiest best. Sacred cows simply do not exist. Anyone or anything is a target. Even Jesus cops a serve! Stewie Griffin, the Untold Story is great theatre. Stewie, the evil offspring of Peter and Lois Griffin of Quahog, Rhode Island is a treat. But one should not lose sight of the other great characters. His father, Peter, is little short of an imbecile while his mother, Lois, is the bane of his existence. Throw in his sister, Meg, his brother, Chris, plus Brian, the familys talking dog and you have a menagerie. Mayhem and fast gags are the order of the day. There are some who may be offended by Family Guys jokes. Too bad! If you dont like the show then dont watch. To all others who can cope with sexual entendre, the slaying of sacred cows and a take no prisoners approach, then this is your programme. My advice to all but the self-righteous and the easily offended is give Family Guy a break. Your patience will be rewarded. Family Guy is the best animated programme to ever hit the small screen!
