Censored by default...

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...

Family Guy is a hilarious show and this season is no exception. Appreciate the uncensored versions which have some things cut from streaming and TV. I still believe in having hard copies like this, especially these days when episodes of shows are being banned from streaming. Seth MacFarlane really created a great show.

Well it has arrived, the second instalment in the Family Guy Star Wars project. Now that I have finally seen it after months of anticiaption I have to say it was good, but it was definitely not what Empire was to New Hope.

First and foremost, this second installment was not going to be a surprise like the first one was. 'Something 3X Darkside' was based on the exact same map as 'Blue Harvest' Macfarlane and company stuck true to the origional film using their infamous humor and pop culture references. I will say there were some moments that caused me to laugh a lot so that was a plus. Another plus was the new characters introduced to play the rolls of the new Star Wars characters...yes even Meg makes her triumphant return. Still, there are some flaws here. I think that this new installment could have been a little different. An example would be how Peter tells the story, it didn't have to be another blackout. Also, the end of the episode ends up in another battle between Chris and Peter about Robot Chicken which makes no sense what so ever because Seth MacFarlane has plenty of Roles on Robot Chicken so Ihave no idea why he takes shots at it. Most importantly as a Family Guy fan I am not a fan of the fact that Stewie is an ambiguously gay character. If you want to use that comedy in the show its one thing, but don't bring that persona to Darth Vader. This is a movie that is suppose to be dark and it is really hard to lighten up a chapter such as this.

Though all in all I think it was a well done piece of work and I am looking forward to 'Family Guy: We Have A Bad Feeling About This', I sure hope that thre will be a total of six episode, because I think they will rip Episode 1 to know end which will be pee in your pants hillarious!

Better than the Simpsons, better than South Park, Family Guy was a show ahead of its time. Reporetedly, sales of this DVD have been so good, Fox is going to bring back the series.
This DVD collection features the following episodes:

Holy Crap: Peter's father, a devout Catholic, comes to live with the family. Peter is unable to bond with his father, and zaniness follows. (Guest appearance by the pope).
Da Boom: a Y2K horror story: bombs fly, airplanes drop from the sky, and chickens hand out coupons.
Brian in Love: Brian must come to terms with his life after a series of embaressing "accidents." After some psychological help, he believes he's in love with Lois.
Death is a Bitch: Due to a clerical error, Death comes to take Peter. Death (played by Norm McDonald) breaks his ankle and has to stay off his feet. Peter must become death, and is ordered to kill the kids from Dawson's Creek.
The King is Dead: Lois realizes her directing dream when she becomes the director of the Quahog players. But Peter's meddling ruins her production of "The King and I."
I am Peter, Hear me Roar: Peter is forced to go to a feminist camp to get in touch with his feminine side. Lois must bring back the old Peter when he returns.
If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin': Peter tells the make-a-wish foundation that Chris is dying from a rare disease in order to get a show back on TV.
Running Mates: Peter and Lois both run for School Board. Zaniness ensues.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Bucks: The family travels to New York when they discover Chris has real talent as a painter. Chris, however, must chose between his father or his painting.

Let's go to the Hop: Licking toads becomes popular at Quahog high school. Peter goes undercover to convince the kids not to do drugs and gets a date to prom with the most popular girl in school.
Damnit Janet: Stewie goes to daycare and falls for a girl. But he discovers she's only after his cookies. Lois becomes an airline stewardess, but discovers Peter is using her to take free flights across the globe. Zaniness follows.
He's too Sexy for his Fat: Chris decides to go on a diet after being mistaken for a van. Peter decides to get plastic surgery.
E Peterbus Unium: Due to a zoning error, the family's house is not a part of the United States. Peter finds he is not respected at the U.N., so he invades his neighbor's house to annex his pool. The family comes under seige from the U.S. Army.
The Story on Page One: Meg joins the school newspaper in order to have extra curricular activities for college. But Peter switches her story with a story that Luke Perry is gay. Luke Perry ensues.
Wasted Talent: Peter wins the golden ticket to tour the Pautuckett Pat breweries. Lois discovers Peter can win the paino talent show, if he's drunk. Stewie requests Peter play the sad walking away music from the Hulk TV show.
Fore, Fathers: Peter tries to teach Chris how to be responsible. He then tries to teach Cleveland's son how to play golf. He fails.
Some episodes have commentary with Seth McFarlane and various other writers, directors, or actors (Seth himself did the voice of Peter, Brian, Stewie, and Quagmire). The commentary is hilarious, but it's only on a few of the episodes.
No doubt, this is some of the funniest stuff you'll ever see on DVD. If you even remotely like Simpsons, the Critic, or South Park, you should definately pick up this DVD.

Must see for fans!!! + truth about contents

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2014

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.

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

Great blu ray movie and one of the highlights of the family guy show. As a fan of both family guy and star wars I was worried they would water eachother down a bit, and a sequel would fall flat but it's actually just as funny and Easter egg filled as the first one. Nice special features. I wish they could do the newer movies or the prequal's.

False advertising!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2016

So after having this box set for a year I'm now just realising this isn't seasons 1-12 at all. It's actually only up to the end of season 10. This wouldn't bother me because for the price it's still a good deal, but it's false advertising and therefore shouldn't be allowed to be sold. If you don't believe me, the final episode of disc 3 season 12 is Internal Affairs. Google it yourselves it's actually the final episode of season 10. If you want season 11 or 12 you'll have to buy them separately.

Can't get enough of Family Guy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 21, 2011

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.
