First, I'd like to address the "Complete Collection" issue:
1. It's technically complete up to the time of its release, but more importantly
2. It never claimed to be complete. It's Amazon that labeled it "complete," and it's a mistake. It's officially called "The Total World Domination Collection." The collection itself never claims to be complete. The title is right on the box, which lets you know that all those reviewers that gave it low scores for its incompleteness don't actually own the collection.

Personally, I think it's a wonderful collection of the first 6 seasons and two longer specials. If it's ever on sale or on Goldbox (like it is today), it will almost invariably be cheaper than getting each season individually.

Other than that, I think the show speaks for itself. If you've enjoyed watching the show, I believe this is a purchase that will be worth it to you. If you're not sure about the show, I can only say that while I don't necessarily like everything about the show, it's still brightened my day more than a few times, so I would recommend it.

This is a great set. If you like Family Guy then you will enjoy all the episodes. Use common sense and know that whenever the DVD's were produced then that is what you will get in regards to "all episodes." Some of these retards have reviewed this product and expect future episodes to be included. Don't be ignorant. I like Family Guy and the set is awesome.

First I wonna mention that I bought this package for the golden box price (60 dollars). totally worth it since you have to pay at least $200 if you buy the discs separately, or $170 for the original package price (currently $144 on amazon). but still if you are a big fan of the show and haven't bought any volume yet, I recommend this item for you even with the current price (again $144).

Now here is what you should know before you buy the item (I didn't know these things until I got my package):

1) on the back of the package box, they mention that the set includes all of the 7 seasons !!! (absolutely wrong)

most of you know that Fox are still running new 7th seasons episodes of family guy weekly, so it is not on DVD yet. and even the second half of season 6 is not on DVD yet.
Now, on Amazon they do mention that it includes ONLY all the 6 volumes (the whole first 5 seasons and 7 episodes of season 6). and this is the right numbers.
I don't know how this "feature all 7 seasons of Family Guy" got into the back of the box. but the only explanation that I could think of is that these boxes were made for Region 2 packages. Because in Region 2 (Egypt, Europe, Japan, Libya, Saudi Arabia & South Africa) season 7 DVD set mean season 5 part B & season 6 part A). for more information about how they name the released DVD's of the Show around the glob visit wikipidia and search for "family guy dvd's"

So, don't get confused if you see that sentence on the back of you item box. this shouldn't really be a problem since you already know from Amazon product description that only 6 volumes of the show are included + movies...

2) more importantly the American dad bonus CD is not there !!!!!
but this time it is an item that they do mention on Amazon that it is INCLUDED in the set! when it is actually NOT !
read again the product description above to check on that. it is Disk # 22 (the very last one). However I found a Disk that was not mentioned on Amazon product description !!!
It is in the case of "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story" and it is called "Family Guy: Off the Cutting Room Floor" and it has some deleted scenes of the show + 3 interviews + sketches of hand drown pictures of one episode.
and there is a discussion topic on Amazon about this issue

I did call Amazon customer service and a supervisor spoke to me after having a hard time trying to explain to the customer service guy on the line who seemed not to understand a word and told me (the supervisor) that he is gonna check with guys in the head quarter or where ever they keep the products to check if the bonus disk is included in the other boxes or not. and he said he is gonna call me back tomorrow (I will upload my review after I get his replay). However this shouldn't be a big deal because when you buy this package you don't buy it for the American Dad bonus DVD but you buy for the Family Guy DVD's. So that

overall: beside the second issue I was satisfied with my purchase, and to those who says "THIS IS NOT THE COMPLETE COLLECTION" I say you are not gonna get a complete collection soon because Family guy as an animated show is not gonna stop until the viewers numbers decrease and believe me this is not gonna be soon. So, if you are a fan of the show don't wait for the complete collection....buy this one OR the "Freakin Sweet Party" package (same set of volumes and movies of the show but with different packaging style. I am not sure though if the bonus American DVD is missing in this package). The two set has over 100 episodes and 2 movies (everything released so far) full of extra scenes and features that you don't get to see on TV, So on my opinion this the right time to buy a package of the show and why not buying the complete collection maybe 10 years latter.

If you look at the box sets, there not tagged as Season 1, Season 2, and Season 6 for that matter. They are tagged as Volume's. Meaning, the rest of Season 6 will be in volume 7, while only the first half of season 7 will be in it. I am with allot of people, I am use to buying my season in "Season Box Sets" but you're not getting ripped off. This is not a complete collection; it's just the Total World Domination Collection. It's a cool Collection to have, and when Vol. 7 comes out, you will get the rest of season 6, and only the FIRST half of season 7. It's all good!! :-p Seth McFarland will not let his fans down; he really has no control over how the seasons are sold.

The set is a giant Stewie head with Volumes 1-6 of Family Guy (4 episodes short of the full 6 seasons) inside. The first 7 DVD sets contain all of the episodes from the pilot episode through Season 6, Episode 8 (McStroke). To see what these episodes are, see this episode guide:
[...]

In addition, there are 2 single DVDs enclosed:
*Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, an 88 minute special, which is essentially 3 mediocre episodes loosely strung together
*Family Guy presents Blue Harvest: A Star Wars parody (48-minutes) that's worth seeing, but probably only once

This is a great set, well worth having! Amazon periodically has it as the Gold Box special. It sold once for[...]. So, keep an eye out for it.

As a side note, if you don't like the Stewie head packaging, the DVDs are all stand-alone DVDs too, packaged just like the regular Family Guy volumes. You can also remove the head and keep the DVDs stored in the base the head sits on.

I couldn't have enjoyed this set more.All six seasons and both Family Guy movies ,My dvd players been in heaven.I recommend this set to anyone that likes to laugh.Some people complain about the price,I think it is a 100% fair.Stewies head has made a great addition to my media room.I have got to go watch it again.

As expected, I got more than I bargained for with this package ! It goes from the very beginning all the way up to the middle of the 7th season. The little (well, it's not so little in reality) Stewie head sitting on top of the DVD player is also pretty funny to look at. There really isn't mush to say other than the DVDs are great, the extras are cool and the interviews are even better. I really can't stress it enough, if you are a Family Guy fan, then you MUST GET THIS ! You won't regret it. Also, this is the unedited version, so curse words and all. Thanks and take care !

don't let the price boogle your mind, it is well worth it, has almost all seasons, and the movie, and blue harvest, it is any family guy fan dream come true.

What can I say, Family Guy rocks, Stewie is great!

The Total World Dominaion Collection is Awesome, Stewie's head really dominates over my living room!!!!

Great collection overall, same exact discs from the individual sets. Only thing is, you lose the Episode sypnosis sheets and the Digital Copy for Blue Harvest.
