Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story

I have not yet bought this DVD, but I have seen a whole bunch of the episodes. Just like The Simpsons and South Park, two of the funniest shows ever, it has funny characters and hillarious plots. Seth McFaine can make any situation seem funny, and unlike The Simpsons and South Park, every scene in the episode has something hillarious. I think this is one of the best shows Fox has aired and since they took it off Fox, I am now watching it every night on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. The characters are just one reason that this cartoon is one of the best out there. There is Peter Griffin, the beefy, borderline alchoholic, dumb father and husband, Meg Griffin, the drama queen daughter of Peter, who seems like Peters least favorite of them all, Chris, the second image of Peter, Stewie, the talking, evil, baby genious who wants to enslave the human race and kill Peters wife, Lois, who is the most normal of the Griffin family. And we can not forget Brian, the articulate talking dog. This show is one of my favorites, and one of the most random comedy shows of them all. (Thats what makes it so funny) Let me just tell you one thing, if you know how to laugh, youll love this show.

Im not much of a Family Guy fan, but am a Star Wars fan, so I had to give this a shot. The 3 disc set isnt cheap, and the replay value is average at best, but its pretty high quality. Maybe my favorite quality to these discs is that the filmmakers utilize actual Star Wars sound effects and music, and it sounds great. This is a precursor to the soon-to-be released BluRay Star Wars releases.

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!

This is the story of Peter Griffin,his wife Lois,his children Meg,Chris, & Stewie (my favorite).They live in Rhode Island where they get into a lot of crazy situations.I discovered this show a couple years ago on dvd and it has been one of my favorite since.Im glad they are bringing it back.Its fun watching Peter being an idiot and watching the matricidal babys plans get foiled once again.If your a fan of raunchy and far-out humor I would highly reccomend this.There are so many great gags youll have to watch the episodes over because you will be laughing so hard you might miss one.Pick it up as soon as you can.

If you can handle a little profanity, this Star wars series using Family guy characters is hilarious. If you like Family guy this is a must see for you.

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.

Mindless silliness that has no redeeming value but being mindless, silly, entertainment. No wait, one would have to have a mind, and the knowledge and/or the experience of pop culture, and pop world history to get most of the jokes in the show. The title alludes that it is a show for the family but it is certainly not. And guys, your chick, your wife or any female around when you turn this thing on will not like it. They will find something better to do while you watch it alone or with your guy friends. Now is that what you want? Oh. You say youre a collector and know the value of such things in the future market? Perhaps Fox saw the writing on the wall when the Family Guy writers took the path they took. Its Peter, Peter, Peter. The Simpsons is a slightly better show because it sometimes has stories focused on Marge, Lisa, Maggie and not only Homer or Bart. Maybe the Family Guy guys should consider writing more for Meg and Lois--the poor things always lose. (I dont think The Simpsons draw a big female audience either--gals dont care for animated shows as much as guys do.) The rolling commentary given by whoever worked on the show was disappointing because they go silent when some of the shows grossly odd scenes show up, begging to be explained. It made me cry What were they thinking of here? A final thing: weve all gotten used to the way this show puts its humor across: the out of control cut-to vignette that has nothing to do with the main story line and usually summoned when one of the characters says just like the time when Peter, celebritys name, historical figure, or pop culture name did something. Youd think it would get tired after the run of this show but weve have gotten used to it to our detriment. On a recent viewing of the current broadcast run Stewie summons up a vignette and pauses. After a good 10 seconds he looks up at the ceiling, rolls his eyes and says, Oh, I thought we had something to come in here. Tag this DVD a guilty pleasure that you can watch now on reruns in major markets instead of purchasing.

Something something darkside didn’t want to play in my PS5 but otherwise worked when I loaded it onto my computer

When this series first aired on TV, it was cancelled after a short while and was criticized to be a Simpsons knockoff. And really, there are similarities: The setting is similar, a guy, married, with three kids, living in a suburb, being extraordinarily stupid. Differences: The youngest kid is a criminal genius on his way to world domination, the two older kids are typical underachievers. Oh and they have a talking dog! Just like the Simpsons the show is outrageously hilarious, fantastically funny and absolutely politically uncorrect. You cannot put your finger on just what it is that makes it different from the Simpsons, maybe it is the pace (faster!) of the show, but if you like humour like the Simpsons, it is definitively worth watching.

The first two seasons of family guy were awesome, Edgier than the simpsons and funnier than everything on televison. There was nothing sacred to Peter and the clan but the star of the show is baby Stewie, his multitude of attempts to kill Lois or supervent her authority are priceless, in later seasons this running joke has been deminished as has peters war with the chicken. All appearing for the first time in this volume. There are only 7 episodes for the first season as it was an experiment that they didnt think the world would love. The second season is 21 episodes long and make up tapes 2-4 of this box set. Watch it with the subtitles on to discover phrases arent what you think you hear, especially from stewie. The jokes are crude and sometimes tasteless but the majority of them are pop references that everyone can relate to. Family Guy Rules!
