Family Guy

Family Guy, Vol. 2 (Season 3)
$39.98
This DVD volume presents the third season of Family Guy, which is also probably the best. The characters are firmly established, the pacing between the stories and cutaways is excellent, and the balance of crude and clever humor is just about perfect. Like many others, you will probably watch these episodes and wonder how on Earth Fox ever decided to cancel such a terrific show.

The episodes here come from Family Guy's peak. The show would get canceled following this season, and even though it came back, it never quite matched what was done here. Key among the episode list is "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," the show's infamous banned episode. While I'm normally not one for commentary tracks, the creator commentary on this episode is very illuminating not only as to the messed up logic that Fox takes when deciding such matters but also in illustrating how badly the network seemed to have it in for this show.

Family Guy, volume 2 might as well be called "The Best of Family Guy." For folks who have never seen the show, it is a great introduction with some classic episodes. For those who only started watching after it returned, these episodes blow the current ones away. And for those who enjoyed the show in its heyday, this volume is a great reminder of how terrific McFarlane and company were before Fox decided to pull the plug all too early.

Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side
$22.98
Jeez, what a perfect representation of what family guy does, right on the cover. Rip off a particular picture, scene or pop culture reference just for the sake of cheap jokes and even cheaper laughs. That's Family Guy for you.
I saw the preview, and it doesn't look any better than something Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg crapped out, in fact, it almost looks EXACTLY like something they have done in the past.

Family Guy, Vol. 7
$39.98
What was once a titan in animated comedy, and comedy in general, has lost it's charm. It's become a parody of itself and it's quite sad that the writing team has run out of material. I say put it to sleep and focus on a new series. There's no going back from here. But then again, this happens with all animated series, most notably The Simpsons. So we'll see Family Guy get milked for 16 seasons be fore Fox finally cans it.
