The third and final season of Seth MacFarlane's late, lamented Family Guy finds television's most dysfunctional cartoon family even more animated than usual. As MacFarlane notes in a bonus segment about the controversial series' censorship battles, he was inspired to go for broke, thinking that the series, already juggled like a hot potato in the schedule (at one point, it aired opposite the mighty Friends), had been cancelled. Just as Spinal Tap walked the fine line between 'clever and stupid,' so did Family Guy gleefully mock the line between 'edgy and offensive.' Case in point is this set's holy grail: 'When You Wish Upon a Weinstein,' not aired during the series' original run, in which clueless Rhode Island patriarch Peter Griffin is convinced that if his lumpen son is to be rich and successful, he must become Jewish.
Like The Simpsons, Family Guy lends itself to multiple viewings to catch each densely packed episode's way-inside 'one-percenter' gags (so-called by the creators because that is the percent of the audience who will get them), scattershot pop-culture references, surreal leaps, and gratuitous pot shots at everyone from, predictably, Oprah, Kevin Costner, and Bill Cosby to, unpredictably, Rita Rudner. Also like their Springfield counterparts, this series benefits from a great ensemble voice cast, with surprising contributions from a no-less-stellar roster of guest stars. Yes, that's actually Kelly Ripa as her 'real' self, a heart-devouring alien in 'Family Guy Viewer Mail #1,' and June Foray popping in as Rocky the Flying Squirrel in 'Brian Does Hollywood.' Family Guy's stock has recently risen with its addition to Cartoon Network's 'Adult Swim' lineup, a much better fit than prime time. To see Peter invite Charles Manson to a party for Sharon Tate ('but only if you don't embarrass me') is to marvel how much of this ever got on the air. Happily, it is on DVD. --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - Family guys is one of the best shows on tv!
Family guys is simply one of the best shows on TV. Grab a friend, a beer, and a few hours and try not to laugh your butt off!!
Rating: - Family Guy S3
I've never seen FG Season 3 because I was not into the show when it was on the air and I've heard they were the best (S 1-3). I think it is funny and find the current seasons are good also.
Rating: - Purchased as a gift
My brother, who lives in Japan, visited me recently and he saw Family Guy with me. I am a fan and he was likewise enamored with it. Most popular movies are available in the video rentals stores in Japan but very few TV series are with exceptions like The Sopranos and 24. I sent him the first three seasons of Family Guy and will send the remaining seasons over time and as they are available.
Rating: - Giggity-giggity-goo!
Family Guy really hit its stride in this season. The animation is much improved and the musical numbers are just insane! To Live and Die in Dixie, The Thin White Line, Mr. Saturday Knight, Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows, and Death Lives are probably my top 5 in some order. The viewer mail episode is hilarious too, especially the one where the family gets super powers. The pop culture references come rapid-fire - Facts of Life, MTV Spring Break, Jesus Jones, My Fair Lady, the New York Mets, Gallagher, Star Wars, the View, the Dukes of Hazzard, Seinfeld, and so many more! The guest voices include Adam Corrolla, Jimmy Kimmel, Waylon Jennings, Kiss, Ben Stein, Jenna Jameson, Hugh Downs, and Will Ferrell. Some of the funniest jokes are the one-liners: "That was Merle Haggard with "I kissed my sweetie with my fist" (on the radio in episode To live and Die in Dixie). The "Uncensored" special feature is really funny, the deleted scenes...eh, there is a reason they were deleted. I could also do without Brian's gay cousin Jasper. This collection is a must-have for any comedy/animation fan, just for the lost episode When You Wish Upon a Weinstein (especially the scene with the nuns and the Penguin from Batman).
Rating: - Awesome honest ballsy comedy!
After 2 seasons of experimentation, Family Guy hits it's stride and punches below the belt. After being canceled and resurrected, Family Guy tickles your funny bone, shocks your eyeballs, and pokes fun at everything and everyone. You know that you think the same things that Family Guy actually has the nerve to say to your face! It's honest, daring, and always "just for fun" (dare not be offended).... And if you're not careful, as you meet the zany cast and hear what they have to say, you might actually learn a little bit about yourself too.
