Family Guy, Vol. 2 (Season 3) Customer Reviews (10 - 12 of 32 Reviews)

Great

We all know its good, so I won't waste your time buy writing a long review.

And you thought that YOUR family had issues..... FULL SKULL BABY!

Quite possibly the most underrated comedy ever devised, The Family Guy enjoyed three all-too-brief seasons before getting the axe. Fortunately, the ratings in syndication were so high that the show will be back, starting in 2005.

Which means that it is time to get this DVD and get caught up.

Featuring 22 episodes from the third season, this DVD showcases the further adventures of the borderline-insane Griffin family and their dysfunctional neighbors, all of whom contribute something unique to the comedic mosaic. The standouts are Stewie, the megalomaniacal toddler, Brian, the sarcastic, martini-sipping family dog, and Quagmire, the womanizing swinger who is funny when he scores, and even funnier when he doesn't.

Comparisons will be made, justly, to the Simpsons. While there are some similarities, Family Guy is far more extreme and over-the-top, and will appeal to anyone look for a seriously politically incorrect comedy.

Highest possible recommendation.

Outstanding Comedy FULL SKULL BABY!
The Family Guy series is absolutely some of the most hilarious television ever created. I only managed to catch it spottingly while it was still being aired on TV, but was one of the first in line to order the DVD sets once they became available.

As for the DVD sets, both volumes are well done. I found the colors to be solid and vibrant, and the overall quality great.

I'm not one for needing extras on DVDs, especially the commentaries which I find the most useless in general, and typically ignore them altogether. However, I think a cool extra would be watching the cast members do a read-through of the script. Would be interesting to see the actors reading their lines with their respective character voices. But basically, all I really care about is the meat of the DVDs, the episodes themselves. And god help you if I find broccoli!

The "bonus" episode on this set is entertaining, but really nothing special. It would only be controversial to the most overly-sensitive of viewers, and those types should just be living by themselves on an island in one of the poles anyhow.

I thank god that new episodes are planned. I've watched The Simpsons for many years and the new episodes are sometimes hard to sit through -- it's like the writers and actors are just phoning it in these days. Even if The Family Guy comes back only briefly, it'll be "freakin sweet!"
