Family Guy, Vol. 1 - Seasons 1 & 2 [UMD for PSP]

I was a little shocked to actually hear the F word come out of the characters mouths- I was expecting a decent amount of bleeps- but was pleasently suprised when there were no bleeps to be heard- no blurs or black boxes (except for one- but I feel it needed to be done)- and I almost peed my pants at the sight of Sgt Scrotes, and the line "......anything with an amputee" (you'll have to see it to understand). As with any Family Guy episode there are the occassional groaner, but for the most part it stays true to the TV series.After a near death experience, Stewie tries to be a better person as to not end up in hell (his glimpse into his possible eternity of damnation left him frightened for his soul) After giving up on being nice, Stewie happens to catch a glimpse of a man on Television who has an uncanny resemblence to him- so he sets out, with Brian, to find the man who he believes is his REAL father.The movie gives a glimpse into a possible future for the Griffin family, and, as in the TV series, Meg's future is the most interesting, and as it always is in the show, the meanest (what do they have against Meg anyway?)For the Hardcore Family Guy fan (those that felt that it's first cancellation was a crime to TV, and rushed out to grab a copy of the the first season when they heard it was being released and missed many nights of sleep waiting for the day- yep - like me)- this is a must see, for casual fans of the show- eh- maybe- if you hate the show- just avoid it. Sure, it's not a pinnacle in animation- far from it (rememeber, this is a show that pushes the envelope on good taste, it's no Beauty and the Beast) I do think it would've been fun as a musical (which could've used a ton of Disney/Classic Musical movie parodies- but still funny)

Stewie the matricidal child genius rules!Whoever said that Americans don't do comedy has never seen "Family Guy". This is humour at its edgiest best. Sacred cows simply do not exist. Anyone or anything is a target. Even Jesus cops a serve!"Stewie Griffin, the Untold Story" is great theatre. Stewie, the evil offspring of Peter and Lois Griffin of Quahog, Rhode Island is a treat. But one should not lose sight of the other great characters. His father, Peter, is little short of an imbecile while his mother, Lois, is the bane of his existence. Throw in his sister, Meg, his brother, Chris, plus Brian, the family's talking dog and you have a menagerie. Mayhem and fast gags are the order of the day.There are some who may be offended by "Family Guy's" jokes. Too bad! If you don't like the show then don't watch. To all others who can cope with sexual entendre, the slaying of sacred cows and a take no prisoners approach, then this is your programme.My advice to all but the self-righteous and the easily offended is give "Family Guy" a break. Your patience will be rewarded. "Family Guy" is the best animated programme to ever hit the small screen!

Love this show! So much better with the Star Wars spoof! AWESOME!!!

They could have called it the revenge of the Seth!! Family guy pulls out all the stops (un-bleeped) in what is bound to become a classic parody of the Star Wars trilogy. Although the 3 episodes could have easily been put on a single disc, I actually prefer that this version is a 3-disc set like the movies.Since George has gone on his 'infamous' re-editing craze I've actually become fonder of the parodies. 'Spaceballs', Robot-chicken, etc... But Family guy is the best of the bunch. You will agree!

I was very pleased to pick this up as a last minute Christmas gift for my boyfriend at such a great price! The digital copy is always a great bonus. As Star Wars fans, we both enjoyed all of the detail that was paid to the movies in this series. My only complaint? The fact that Seth McFarland likes to beat a joke to death until it's no longer funny. But that's a writing issue and not a show issue. As usual, extremely pleased with Amazon's service and shipping!

I knew I loved FG, I already had these eps in season compilations but they were censored and no way to hear or see otherwise. This one's case AND the DVD inside should have an asterisk - it's not "uncensored" by default, you have to select a separate audio track while playing the movie. I tried setting it BEFORE the movie begins & it goes back to the default CENSORED setting. Maybe newer editions don't do this but this one IS from 2005 so maybe you're better off with a newer copy. 3rd time I've bought a DVD that wasn't supposed to be censored but was...

Even if you aren't an avid Star Wars fan, I think you will still enjoy this remake of the Star Wars trilogy. But for fans, you will definitely appreciate the attention to detail in recreating key scenes from the original while enjoying the twisted dialog from the Family Guy characters. My only regret was that they ran out of the more memorable characters when they got to Yoda. But that is a minor problem and one that was somewhat out of their control since the second two installments were an afterthought based on the success of the first show. Yoda does have one of the best lines in the Trilogy when he describes the tree that is strong with the dark side of the force as basically a strange element from the original story that "stops the show dead."

love the classic

To everyone who is a fan of this show; you must own the DVDs. The show is wonderfully sarcastic about current events and about popular culture. Peter and his friends (Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland) are so optimistic everytime they try something new which ultimately fails miserably, of course. Stewie always hatches new plans to either kill Lois or achieve world domination. Poor Meg, always being bullied by pretty much everyone. Chris, adorable and naive. Lois, the housewife who tries to keep Peter in line and who is oblivious to Stewie's plans toward her. And Brian is the (only) voice of reason, even though he's the family dog.A lot has been said about the episodes on this box as well as the specials. Now here's what's actually on this set:- This box contains 34 discs, in turn containing 182 episodes. These episodes are all episodes until 'Internal Affairs', minus a few exceptions, listed below.- The special 'Road to the North Pole' is part of this set (season 11) and does not need to be bought separately.- The special 'Happy freakin' Christmas' is made up of the two episodes 'A very special Family Guy freakin' Christmas' and 'Da boom'; both these episodes are part of this box set (seasons 2 and 3) and do not need to be bought separately.- The special 'Ho-ho-holy cr*p!' is made up of the two episodes 'Thanksgiving' and 'Jesus, Mary and Joseph'; the first is present in this box (in season 12), the second will be part of the season 13 release (so it's NOT in this box). But since both episodes are part of the regular releases of the seasons, this special also does not need to be bought separately.- The special 'Stewie Griffin: the untold story' is made up of the three episodes 'Stewie B. Goode', 'Bango was his name, oh!' and 'Stu and Stewie's excellent adventure'; these episodes are NOT on this box set and therefore do need to be bought separately (if one wishes to complete the collection).- The Star Wars episodes ('Blue harvest', 'Something, something, something, Dark side' and 'Episode VI: It's a trap') are NOT part of this box set and are separately available as well as in one box set called 'Laugh it up, fuzzball'. If one wishes to complete the collection, one should buy these specials as well.All of the other episodes are complete, albeit behind on the TV releases. (The final episode on this collection, while stated as being season 12, is actually the last episode of season 10. The DVD set called season 13, will be comprised of the episodes of season 11.)So I hope this clarifies what you will and will not find in this box set, but I definitely recommend it. It took me a while to get used to it, but now I love it. If you're a fan like me and want to watch it more often than just on TV, you should buy this collection.

Being a fan of Family Guy from the start I found that the late-night slot on BBC3 was a bit tiresome so bought the box sets instead. Some people have compared this cartoon family with The Simpsons and certainly there are similarities. Like Homer and Marge Simpson, the patriarch, Peter Griffin has responsibilities far beyond his mental capacity and his wife, Lois is the one holding the family together. The children differ though. Sixteen year old Meg is the one everyone loves to hate and thirteen year old Chris is the awkward one. Stewie is the one year old psychopath who is determined to conquer the world but is never taken seriously by anyone except Brian, the family's talking dog. No one in this series thinks that a talking dog the least bit strange.Compared to The Simpsons, I think Family Guy to be far superior. The occasional strong language is more suited to an adult audience (swearing is bleeped out on BBC3) and fights and bloodshed are not uncommon occurrences. There are regular celebrity guest appearences who play themselves or provide voices. On the downside, this first series DVD boxset is devoid of extras but as an introduction to Rhode Island's premier dysfunctioal family it is well worth a look.

3 in 1.Brought as a gift for the girlfriend who loves Family Guy. Since we've been dating I got her in to Star Wars (which she now also loves). Put the two together and you end up with this. Now she has seen all the Star Wars films these Family Guy versions are a lot easier to relate to and she enjoys them more now.No complaints so can't give it anything less than 5 Stars

Got to agree that Blue Harvest was funnier, but I think that is because it was first and hit the right chord.This is a great 45 minutes, not packed with laughs but some real gems in here. It just lacks the 'defining joke' such as the struggle to get the old couch onto the Millenium Falcon in the first one. Saying that, I never thought Empire was the best Star Wars film anyway, more of a filler.If there is a downer it is that this is a true bit of money making - the DVD is released before the episode is shown in the new series, but what you get is ONE Family Guy episode from the whole new series. You might just be able to watch it on TV for free.Can't believe the reviews on here giving one star because the T-Shirt was the wrong size or crinkled in the wash............Looking forward to the third in the series - there is a sneak peek on the DVD showing the cast doing a brief read through. Should something something complete the collection nicely.

The first and in my opinion the best of the series available. Family Guy is a cross between The Simpsons and South Park, irreverent, crude at times, but with some wonderful quirks and no leanings whatsoever towards political correctness. If you get huffy about people taking the rise out of race, religion, colour, old age, disability, sex and much more, you will not like this.It is funny due to the fact that the characters do not realise that they are being comic and are oblivious to the unintentional humour they illicit. Like Marmite, it's not to everyone's taste but it cracks me up every time I watch it although some things do make me cringe in a "there's no way I would say that" kind of way.You do need a surreal sense of humour at times, but this DVD is a must for anyone who loves off-beat comedy. If you are easily offended keep away.
