...Family Guy is an un politically correct adult cartoon show made by 20th Century Fox, it is aired on Channel 4 and Sky 1 and is now available on DVD, with uncut scenes and everything that TV couldnt show.
Family Guy is available from all good high street DVD and music stores and all decent online ones such as Amazon, Play and CDWOW for around £15 but also try eBay.
The DVD comes in a single box and consists of 2 discs, with 14 episodes in the series.
The show does not seem to be as well known as it should be but the DVDs sell well and have been out of stock on several occasions when Ive gone to buy a series - of which there are currently three, with talk of a movie and one final series.
