Family Guy - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

Family Guy first appeared in my world years ago when it was first aired in the U.K. on Sky One, but if memory serves me right, it only lasted a few episodes before it disappeared for a while. However, those few episodes were enough for me to become hooked. Jesus: "For my next miracle, I'm going to turn this water into funk!" It's hard for me to offer up similar alternatives or even a one-line description of Family Guy, and the closest I can come ...
...escaped your vile womb." Family Guy follows the day to day life of the Griffin family from Quahog, Rhode Island. Peter is the supposed head of the household, although it's usually his stupidity or misfortune that an episode will concentrate on. Lois is his loving and long-suffering wife who will bring an element of common sense to the proceedings while balancing the complex issues of her children. Chris is a 13 year old boy with a desire for drawing ...

..."So which is better - Family Guy or The Simpsons?" For my money, I think I've worked it out. The Simpsons was an excellent, innovative programme. It was funny in a way we hadn't seen before, and it worked on many levels, and did pretty darn cleverly on every one. But it's passed its prime these days, and they only ever seem to repeat the ones you've seen a thousand times already. This gets boring. And of course, should you care to buy the videos, ...
...inevitably begin with some mundane family situation. Sound familiar? Yeah - that's 'cos so far, it's the Simpsons with new names. But Family Guy goes that little further down the road of the un-PC, libellous, satirical and just generally insanely random than its founding father, or indeed any of its contemporaries - shows like King of the Hill, for instance. Largely due to the fact that it contains two characters the Simpsons don't have any equivalent ...

...season of the hilariously funny family guy. The show was untimely axed after this first season but after mass complaints from the American public they had no choice but to create more.

The comedy is so different from anything else and has to be seen to ...

...bikini-clad daners. Yes, surreal is Family Guy's middle name! The roots of the humour rely on plays on words, references to films/tv, surreal answers and scenarios and simple dry-wit. A few of my favourite quotes from this series include: "Peter: Sorry Meg. Daddy loves ya, but Daddy also loves Star Trek, and in all fairness, Star Trek was here first." "Peter: Oh my god, Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits. It says, 'Oooooo.' Brian: Peter, ...

Family Guy - Season 1 is the first season in the hit show created by Seth McFarlane, Family Guy! This season premiered on the Fox Network in 1999 and can be found for less than £10 on amazon. We are introduced to all the family here, from Peter the bumbling father to Stewie, determined to kill his mother and Peter's wife, Lois. Along the way we meet great secondary characters as well, like Joe, the paraplegic cop who is very much by the book, and ...

"Mind Over Murder" is another good episode and is about Peter being under house arrest and building a bar in his basement and Lois ...

Since then it has become a cult show with avid fans all over the world and three successful series‘. The crazy antics of the Griffin family from Quahog, Rhode Island, are peculiar and utterly hilarious- many people think it’s funnier than The Simpsons. I’m not sure if I agree with this. The Simpsons is funny in a more satirical, political way ...

I hadn't seen Family Guy for over a year since it was first shown on Channel 4, but then I saw that the DVD was released!!! This has to be the new Simpsons, it is just so funny!

The man of the house, Peter, is a fat lazy husband who sits watching television all day, and seems to always ...

As if that's not strange enough, Brian the talking family dog is the only level-headed one about them!! The episodes from Season One involve meeting Death, ...

...decided not to even watch Family Guy. I considered myself a loyal and trustworthy Simpsons fan and I had always considered it to be an imposter to their televisual genius. I sat down to watch an episode on BBC3 late one night when I couldn't sleep and now it is safe to say that I am really hooked! I think...and forgive me here....I think it is BETTER than the Simpsons! I love everything about the series I have watched so far. The characters are clearly ...
...there are also great twists ...such as the dog that talks and the baby that talks like a 1930's English gentleman (do they understand him though...I just don't know!). The stories follow a familiar format - usually involving an incident or something that one of them has to do...it's all very familiar, what it does so well though is the use of the flash backs. Every episode is filled with them, referring to something in the past that has shaped the ...

Family Guy Season 1 DVD contains all 14 episodes from the first season of Family Guy. Family Guy is a Simpsons-style animated comedy about the Griffin family. The family contains Peter, the father, Lois the mother, Meg the unpopular daughter, Chris the dumber oldest son, Stewie the talking baby who is constantly trying to kill Lois, and Brian the intellectual talking dog. The show is more grown-up and funnier than the simpsons but doesn't have ...
...is an excellent introduction to Family Guy but Season 2 and 3 are probably funnier and have more episodes. Its a shame that the UK versions of it don't get the audio commentaries and other extras that the USA DVD contains but apart from that this is a very entertaining DVD that you can watch again and again and still find as funny as the first time, and currently you can pick up this DVD for around £10 which is excellent value.
