Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story

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.

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.

Family Guy is a raucous irreverent animated comedy propelled back into production due to fans (like me) who appreciated its incredible daring satire of, well - everything and everyone! This DVD is a no-holds-barred masterpiece of iconoclastic humor, not for the faint of heart. The censors have had a field day with Family Guy episodes since its first broadcast, and that is a recommendation in its own right! All our favorite characters have their moments - Brian the alcoholic intellectual dog, Stewie the evil mastermind infant, Meg the homely teen girl, Chris the overweight underachiever, Peter the buffoon who enjoys the guilty pleasures in life, Lois the former party girl from a wealthy family turned Mom, and Mayor Adam West (played by the 70s classic Batman, Adam West) as a paranoid Mayor of Quahaug RI. In the very beginning, you see Lois tumble ass over teakettle on the red carpet from the limo to the opening night of this film, tanked from the champagne in the limo and wanting to do Peter then and there - and it sets the stage for the rest of the film, which is a bawdy fun tale of Stewie seeking the mysterious man whom he believes must be his biological father. Stewie is inspired by the concept that Peter, a simpleton, could not have produced the DNA which created such a brilliant sinister genious, and decides to find the mysterious man he glimpsed who resonated with him so strongly. The revelation of the mysterious mans identity drives the plot, as pop culture references, quips, and the never-ending insult duels between Brian and Stewie keep the laughs going. We all know a Quagmire (clich? ladies man ridiculous to all but himself and the conquests he ensnares with his lifelong experience of chasing tail), a Cleveland (sweet stable guy-next-door who is the calm in the storm and the voice of ethics and helping our fellow man), a Joe (while he is in a wheelchair, his personality as an overly macho jock is abundantly clear) and all our favorites. We know people like these, and this is an unabashed portrayal of them that is only a slight exaggeration! If you are easily offended, Family Guy isnt for you, but it should be. If you cant laugh at your own beliefs, they are dogma not truth - truth is strong enough to handle the challenge of humor. The pop culture references and laughs are sharp social commentary and the humor is edgy to say the least. I agree with another reviewer - this was more like a few episodes put together, rather than feeling like a feature length film, but who cares when it is as good as this? Enjoy a few good laughs, get this!

As 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.)

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.

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

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.

Family Guy is, bar none, the best animated series that has ever been broadcast on television. Beating out the Simpsons in almost every aspect, the show had an unusually large amount of political and racial satire, parody, and pop culture. The most politically incorrect series out there (which is probably why it was cancelled), Family Guy is also the most ingenuous. Crazy humor fills every episode - not a croaker in the bunch. If youre a big fan of the Simpsons, or really any sitcom, Family Guy is the show for you. Dont miss your chance and pick up your copy of the Family Guy Seasons 1 & 2 today. And remember to snatch up that third season when it is released in September. Long live the Griffins! Im the Griffins house! Bring me a toolshed, for I am hungry. -Peter Griffin Brian: Ah, Brown University - the old Alma Mater. Chris: Brown is the color of poo! Brian: Yes...yes it is. Brian: Ive been to the top of the mountain, lady. Ive seen it all! Chris: Wh...what did you see? Was it breasts? Meg: Chris, youre hogging all the fans! Chris: Oh, yeah? Well youre hogging up all the ugly!!! Ahhh...good old Griffins.

First off let me just say that Family Guy sucks!!! I cant stop watching it. I bought both box sets the day they came out and I bought the Freakin Sweet Collection the day it came out. I had downloaded all the episodes and the American Dad pilot before they were available to purchase. I have watched every episode over 100 times. I love this show it is the greatest thing EVER written!!! (in my humble opinion) I am on all the mailing lists for news of the show from FOX, FamilyGuyFiles, and PlanetFamilyGuy. I own all the series of collectibles that came out from Metco and those bendy ones also. What I am trying to say is I am powerless to resist the awesomeness of this show. [...] So if you have never watched this show you should. You should buy every box set that comes out and encourage all your friends to do so too. Or better yet buy your friends copies like I did. But BEWARE!!!! Once you start you cant stop. And dont ever, ever, ever fall asleep watching it because you will have really really WIERD dreams. I did it and told my friends about it and now they too suffer from Family Guy induced wierdness when they sleep. If you dont believe me go try it. So in conclusion FAMILY GUY SUCKS FOR TAKING OVER MY TV LIFE!!!! GO BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly Family Guy was cancelled after only three short seasons, but the lasting effects are incredible. First off, no show, short of Sout Park, makes me laugh as hard. Not so much for the language remarks, but other hidden symbols that you may not pick-up the first time you see an episode, that is why you must buy the set. I would have loved to see Family Guy go for at least five seasons so Seth could show his true span of genius. Aside from that, many people say, Oh, I dont want to watch that show because it is just stupid toliet humor and dirty jokes. Well, partly yes, but when isnt a dirty joke funny? I find this show funnier that the Simpsons, for instance, because it uses more references towards others incuding celebrities, politicians, and actions that many of us do day by day. Over all, these things make you step back and laugh about it.
