| I like Family Guy and apparently so does America since Seth was just signed for a pile of money throughout 2012. Honestly these first seasons are absolutely terrible, these seasons illustrate how they were trying to borrow from the Simpsons too heavily and not very good at it as well. It was only after they found what works for them (cheap cude and over the top) and flash backs later on which make them worth watching. I suggest to skip these first few seasons as they add little to the plot and really make for some aweful comedy.br /br / |

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 you're 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. It's 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 don't think The Simpsons draw a big female audience either--gals don't 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 show's grossly odd scenes show up, begging to be explained. It made me cry "What were they thinking of here?"
A final thing: we've 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, celebrity's name, historical figure, or pop culture name did 'something.' You'd think it would get tired after the run of this show but we've 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.

Thank God for this show. After a long day of work, I love watching an episode. It is a mindless show, yet the comedy is genius. I don't recommend it for kids and I am always somewhat surprised when I hear they like it. Many, many of the references (especially as the show has evolved) are ones that those of us who grew up in the 80s would recognize. That's the main thing I love about it.

| Chock full of pop culture references, Family Guy was a classic before it's time which is probably why it was revived after being cancelled. TV shows and movies, singers, other cartoon characters, Indian casinos, the mob, Y2K, drugs, the Pope - nothing is sacred! Peter Griffin is totally addicted to TV, drunk and stupid, but he's hilarious. His family is really dysfunctional, the dog Brian is an alcoholic, baby Stewie is hell-bent on destroying mother Lois, Chris thinks there is an evil monkey in his closet and Meg is...there. Plus lots of funny supporting/recurring characters like Cleveland and Loretta, sex-addict Quagmire, Joe ("holy crip, he's a crapple!"), the Pewterschmidts (Lois' parents) and Death. Mind Over Murder, Brian in Love, Chitty Chitty Death Bang, I am Peter Hear Me Roar, E Peterbus Unum are all hilarious. My favorite episode is "Wasted Talent", it starts with a parody of Willie Wonka and at the end they spoof an old episode of Twilight Zone ("No, it's not fair, there was time now."). So many great one-liners, it stands up to repeated viewings and is fun to see where the characters and all the running jokes started. A must-own set for the fan! |

| Not since South Park has an animated show been so honest, edgy, ballsy, and out-right hilarious! The Griffin family deals with situations that even The Simpsons dare not touch. If you are sensative and easily offended, this is not a show for you. On the other hand, if you like jokes straight from the hip, no holds barred, and characters that say everything that you wish you could say in public without being jailed, shot, or run-over, then this is the show for you! Also, for those 40 and over, Family Guy makes endless hilarious referances to pop culture from the 60's, 70's, and 80's! Check it out! |
