The deliciously satirical comedy that has graced our screens for 7 seasons and entertained me tremendously. Peter, Chris, Meg, Brain and ESPECIALLY my beloved Stewie make up one of my favourite animated comedy by far (beats The Simpsons by far... Sorry). This is definitely not one for the kids and I suggest if you have young impressionable children to hide the television as soon as family guy comes on.
Main Characters Peter - Is your 'typical' lazy, bumbling waste of space father. Who prefers a beer down at The Drunken Clam with his mates Joe, Cleveland, and Quagmire then to spend any time with his family. He is the epicentre of the comedy and always has some astonishingly ridiculous scheme he must achieve by the end of the episode be it getting his favourite show back on air by pretending his son has a terminal illness or selling his daughter to pay off his debt. Personally I can forgive him all of this because it was him that taught me that 'the bird is the word!'
Lois - The stay at home devoted mother who is treated like garbage by her husband and you get the feeling could've become anything she wanted had she not married an idiot. Nothing new here I suppose but I do like the slant that she comes from a very rich family. The shame displayed whenever her family come into contact with her idiotic husband, 'slow' son and unattractive desperate daughter is cringe worthy to watch. In a good way.
Meg and Chris - The lacking children of Peter and Lois pretty much disappointments to both parents. (Yes even Peter!!) It is sinfully funny to laugh at their misgivings and downfalls. Meg definitely gets it worse than Chris and has numerously been told sticking her throat down her throat wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Stewie! Stewie! Stewie! - The little British star he is. A diabolical child genius who is hell bent on killing his mother, somewhat sexually confused and just HILARIOUS! His psychotic tendencies are balanced by his child like qualities i.e. he will kill to protect a teddy bear... LOL.

Family Guy doesn't pull any punches; it is not politically correct and can have you squirming in your seat at the nature of some of the jokes. BUT ITS HELLA FUNNY! Give it a go.

First off, welcome over "this side"! Now the (hopefully) constructive criticism. A review of a DVD Box Set of seven seasons needs more info about what's on the DVD rather than a synopsis of the show and characters. Presumably, if you're buying the box set for [?? - no price mentioned!] you'll know something about it before making the investment. As such, it's not a useful as it could be to a potential purchaser. What you have written is fine - it's just it's probably more appropriate for a review of the show than the DVD. Hope that helps. happy to re-assess if you ever get round to an edit.

As you've left the format reviewed as DVD it would have been nice to read some of your opinion on the actual DVDs and any special features
