Tiny Toon Adventures ACME All-Stars - Genesis Game (Retro Fam)

Above all else, FAMILY GUY is a funny, funny show. I almost always watch TV, DVDs, or video when I eat my meals, but I have discovered that it isn't entirely safe to do so while watching this show. It is funny to a degree that simply isn't compatible with eating food. What is amazing about the show is that while on one level it will strike just about any viewer as a semi-ripoff of THE SIMPSONS (just check all the SIMPSONS references in other reviews--it is almost impossible not to compare the two), it nonetheless manages to come across as remarkably fresh and--paradoxically--underivative.Although the show uses a number of voiceover artists, the majority of the voices are supplied by only two actors: Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein (who will be familiar to fans of MADTV). It isn't fair to say that MacFarlane is the Matt Groening of FAMILY GUY, since Groening does so much less in the SIMPSONS. MacFarlane is the creator of the show, voices most of the male characters, and is one of the main writers. Alex Borstein voices most of the female characters and is also a writer.FAMILY GUY is THE SIMPSONS on speed and with a bawdy streak. Like the Simpsons, the show recreates a small town and introduces a host of characters. Like most people, my two favorites are Stewie, the one-year old evil super genius who also doubles as the youngest Griffin, and Brian, the talking family dog, who is also exceptionally literate and an alcoholic. Unlike THE SIMPSONS, where Lisa and (usuall.

This show was on a couple of years ago and I faded in and out watching it. It was really hard keeping up with the schedule changes. What I remembered before getting this DVD was really funny. Now that I watched the DVD set of season 1 and 2 I know its funny. Since I wasn't a hardcore fan I really don't know much about all the censorship issues, but what I have been reading made me really sad. They should not censor shows on DVD. Its ridiculous! Alright back to the DVD. It has a few random episode commentaries complete with long "pauses" or moments of silence during the episode, I guess they ran out of things to say. It also has fox.com promos on disk one and a behind the scenes show on disk 4 (aprox 15 min). I would rate it down for lack of features but I'm just happy to see one of the shows I watched finally make it to DVD, instead of sitting on a wish list forever while people write futile petitions hoping that there cries will bring there show on DVD (i.e. Seinfeld, etc). E Peterbus Unum is one of the funniest episodes so far, its the one I remember the most from 2000.

Love the star wars episodes from Family Guy!!

This is my favorite show ever and I was very upset when fox cancelled it. Fox is the reason the shows ratings went down because no one could find it. I would always go to see it and it would be on a different timeslot.I really don't think it is right to compare family guy to the simpsons. Yes, they are both about families but no one compares every live-action sitcom about families. And although the simpsons is a classic, and i love it, i have never laughed harder at any other show than at family guy. The show is written brilliantly and few comedies have been written on the same level as this show. It is a must buy, I've never talked to anyone who hasn't like the show and that's including my mother and grandmother. The show definately steps over the politcially correct liine, but the way they do it is hilarious. Almost every line in this show has it's own punch line, and I recommend this dvd set for anyone and the next one also, which I have pre-ordered. Every episode on both dvds is a classic in its own right. Buy the dvd sets and support Seth MacFarlane's comical genius.

Let me get one thing straight right off the bat: "The Family Guy" was one of the best animated comedies on the telly. It takes more risks at upseting the mainstream than "The Simpsons" but isn't so blatant in shock value as "Southpark." In fact, I seriously loved this series when it was on the air and I'm thrilled that now that it's available on DVD, I can watch my favorite episodes whenever I want. If you're a fan of the show, you need these DVD box sets.However, if you want really cool added features, keep looking. Unlike the commentary for DVDs like "The Simpsons" it's almost as though Seth and gang have no idea what DVD commentary is for. In fact, for many of the episodes that actually DO have commentary, they sit in silence instead of actually commenting -- which kinda begs the question -- why is this called an audio commentary track when you barely comment?Also, many of the comments really aren't that entertaining at all. Occasionally Seth M. or Seth Green will speak in their characters' voices to comment (which would have been sooo much more interesting if they continued to do so) but for the most part they just don't say much.Highlights of the commentary do include the actress who does Lois' voice (she is damn funny).... but some of the other voice actors/actresses that are on the commentary seem to have been brought in at last minute. One of supporting voice actors even asks in geniune astonishment: "Brian the dog has a ma.
