5.0 out of 5 stars All the episodes that aired in seasons 1 & 2, April 9, 2003

This review is from: The Family Guy: Volume One (Seasons 1-2) (DVD)

Family Guy only had a three season run (I think after a year of silence it's safe to say there won't be anymore). These two DVDs make up over half of the 50 episodes in the series. Despite what you may have heard, these 28 episodes entail every episode that aired in the first two seasons. Because of Season 1's late start, a lot of season 1 episodes were pushed into season 2, which in turn pushed some season 2 episodes into season 3.
The series starts of very strong for a first-time viewer. The episodes are packed tight with jokes and often go off on wild tangents. The early stories are a little weak, but they pick up in the second season where the series gets even more creative. Definately something that keeps getting better through the second season. The third season was a little weaker, so if you were only getting one of the two sets, I'd recommend this one.
If you've never seen Family Guy, then be warned: it's not for everyone. It's got crude humour, and isn't afraid to poke fun at just about anything, despite what popular opinion might be.
The DVD set also comes at a relatively cheap price, considering you're getting 28 episodes of Family Guy goodness. The third season set would most likely entail the other 21 episodes (22 if they include the unaired "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein") and thus in two purchases you can have all of Family Guy.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was too smart & too good a show for TV...., February 2, 2003

"Family Guy" required attention, but it was well-worth the "effort." Smart, funny, sometimes even offensive, it never, ever disappointed. But quality TV doesn't always mean good ratings; this show will go on the long list of shows that died premature deaths because it was too hip for TV. Moments of this show pop into my mind from time to time, and I always find myself smiling and laughing when they do. Check this set out and get the same enjoyment that I have. This was one of television's very best.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Funniest Animated Shows Ever Made., January 2, 2003

By 

Jamie (NYU) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Family Guy: Volume One (Seasons 1-2) (DVD)

Although I don't think the show was better than the older episodes of the Simpsons, I do think that during the time it was on the air it was better than the Simpsons. The show is really fond to pop-culture junkies or just people in need of a good laugh. Unfortunatly, FOX cancelled it and it's not coming back. To all of you angry fans that hate FOX for cancelling it, don't. It wasn't FOX's fault. The show stopped because the cast and crew split up. Luckily (in my opinion) South Park has been getting funnier. But still I'm thankful that the FOX production companies are immortalizing this classic series on DVD.

The thing I like most about Family Guy is the range of inteligence that it appeals to. Whether your a know-it-all super genious with high standards or a complete moron the show is sure to please because it's funny on so many levels.

For fans of the show this is a must buy. For newbies, find a friend who is a fan of the show. Unless your in the category of the pretensiously snobby, Family Guy is sure to please.
