Let me start by saying, I'm a HUGE fan of just about anything Seth MacFarlane puts his name on. I was REALLY looking forward to this coming out on Blu-Ray and I was expecting bright colors and razor-sharp clarity. Unfortunately, that's not the case here. Every site I looked on before this officially came out had a different aspect ratio listed for this title.

The truth is, its a lame 1.33:1 full screen presentation that is, at best, as good looking as a standard DVD upscalled to HD. Simply meh. The very few special features that ARE included are in 480p. I'm really surprized they bothered to include a DTS Master Audio track on this title, because the majority of the skits are just two people talking.

In the end, I can't reccomend buying this on Blu-Ray without feeling bad. Buy the DVD version. It will look basically the same and you'll be able to play it on just about any computer or set top player.

Love Family Guy. Love American Dad. Hated this. There were a few chuckles, but mostly I couldn't wait for it to be over.

Several good scenes, most other scenes so-so. I like "Family Guy" 'Guess I expected better.

As a Family Guy fan, I'm bummed out at how bad this was. Yes, I get it, but it's really not funny at all, and not HD. Don't know why it's even offered on Blu-ray. Waste of time.

Good idea but not as good as it should be. It seems like he ran out of ideas. Sad.

There was basically 5 minutes of funny scattered throughout the "Movie" Not really worth purchasing.

I admit that when I saw this dvd I got excited, sure all these videos are available online but I can be lazy and having them in one spot made things easier for myself. So when I saw that the videos would be made available on blu ray I assumed they were made in such a format and downgraded for the web. Boy was I very much wrong, the video on this dvd is as another reviewer has mentioned just a standard def dvd with black bars down either side. Sure it looks pretty but I bought a blu ray disk for that "wow" picture and didn't get anything near it. Save yourself a couple dollars and just buy the normal dvd, you will be just as happy.

Although this is on Blu-Ray, it's not in HD. The entire thing is standard def with black bars. The cartoons are funny, but you may as well just buy the DVD and save some money.

This collection of shorts by Seth Mcfarlane is enjoyable, but it isn't as funny or clever as Family Guy or American Dad. It has it's share of hits and misses, but if you're a fan of Seth's, get it.

Compiling 54 minutes worth of animated shorts from Family Guy and American Dad creator Seth MacFarlane, Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy is definitely for the ultra lowbrow crowd, which can be a good or bad thing depending on your sense of humor. In these shorts, we witness such things as Jeff Goldblum selling his own crackers, a dirty frog who is definitely no prince, what happens in a raft with Matthew McConaughey, Fred Flinstone in a stall and later denied entry to a club with Barney, monkeys talking religion, Ted Nugent getting visited by a Christmas ghost, and Dracula meeting Magic Johnson. Relishing in blatant bad taste, there are definitely some chuckles to be had with Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy, but even without the constraints of censors, nothing here ends up being as remotely hilarious as anything you'd see on Family Guy or American Dad. Still, there are enough quick-witted, raunchy, comedic moments to hold your interest, and if any of what you've read here sounds appealing in the least, you should check this out. If not though, you'd best stay away.
