Family Guy, Vol. 1
To the ranks of shows too brilliant and outrageous for prime time (The Ben Stiller Show, Andy Richter Controls the Universe), add Seth McFarland's Family Guy. This animated series, which debuted after the 1999 Super Bowl, simply sparked too much controversy and offended too many sensibilities to survive (Entertainment Weekly dubbed it 'the Awful Show They Just Keep Putting on the Air'). That the Fox network also played hackysack with its schedule, ensuring viewers would not be able to find it, sealed its fate (it was cancelled in 2002). The Volume 1 boxed set containing all 28 episodes from the first two seasons is payback for the show's devoted cult following, who may be moved to echo the words of infant Stewie Griffin, the megalomaniacal 1-year-old bent on matricide and world domination: 'Victory is mine!'
Family Guy, Vol. 2
The third and final network 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.
Family Guy, Vol. 3
Family Guy lives! That's great news for the devoted fans who watched in record numbers the reruns on Cartoon Network and made the Family Guy DVDs bestsellers. It's bad news for Mel Gibson, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Fallon, Rob Schneider, Skeet Ulrich, Corey Haim, My Two Dads, and other pop-culture detritus this show's writers take infinite delight in kicking when they're down (or up, for that matter). The long, long, awaited fourth season begins with a bravado broadside at Fox, which canceled Family Guy in 2002. Peter Griffin (voiced by series creator Seth MacFarlane) recites a litany of 29 doomed replacement shows beginning with Dark Angel and ending with Greg the Bunny. From there, it's like the Griffins never left. The 13 episodes are just as dense with bodily function jokes, surreal nonsense, gratuitous pop-culture references (the more obscure, the better), and edgier gags that recklessly cross the line on any number of levels ('Maybe I was wrong about you,' Jodie Foster says to John Hinckley in the episode, 'Model Misbehavior.' 'Maybe I was wrong about all men.').

Rating: - Brilliant Just Brilliant
Family Guy a creation by Seth MacFarlane has forever been called a simpsons rip off but truly that is wrong because the originality of this series is unparallel they call it a simpsons rip off because of the dumb big fat father that is Peter Griffin but the similarities stop there as all the characters have their own original quirks.
Lois Griffin: Alright i lied she is the Marge Simpson of family guy but trust me the similarities do stop there. she is the mother of the family and the everlasting bond that keeps them together.
Meg Griffin: The older sister who is so obsessed with her looks and being too fat that it consumes her every being and IMO she is the most boring character in the show.
Chris Griffin: The fat younger brother who is so gullible that he really thinks pigs fly and so stupid that he thinks 2 + 2 is 5 but that's what makes him the funniest member of the family.
Stewie Griffin: The baby of the family who has a bigger IQ than all of them put together. Stewies plot and ever dying wish is to kill his mother for puting him at the bottom of the stupidest family in America.
Brian Griffin: He's the talking dog of the family who has a major crush on Lois but does all he can to try and hide it.
I haven't seen Season 4 yet but i have ordered this DVD set and i am looking foreward to recieving it. I know i wont be disappointed and rest assured you wont be either.
Rating: - Family Guy
The best comedy show ever. Better even than the almighty South Park, which, in it's later years, is starting to lose it's kick. Too bad. Fortunately, we've got Family Guy. The only thing is, the the fourth season is incomplete. They took a break for a month or two, and released the first half of the season, the second half was thought by many to be season 5, but was actually the latter half of the fourth. When they re-release all the episodes, I'll purchase, that.

This show has to be one of my best on [adult swim]. Peter Griffin is such a clown. Their dog name Brian is the smartest of all the family. I love all three volumes box sets.
