...if you to are a family guy fan or you may not. Back in 1999 Family Guy first aired in America on Fox and had a large audience because it was shown straight after the Superbowl (which is HUGE over there). Anyway overtime the rating started to plummet due to the competition on other channels, with programmes like Friends that were never going to be beaten. It was constantly moved around from it's slot and even the most avid viewers had trouble catching ... Read review

Advantages: Hilarious
Disadvantages: Doesn't quite match the standards set previously

...those not familiar with it. Family Guy is a cartoon, and is basically a cross between South Park and The Simpsons. It's not as dirty as the former but not as clean as the latter, and arguably funnier than them both. Now, the show centres around the Griffin family - Father Peter, Mother Lois, Daughter Meg, two sons Chris and Stewie and Brian, the family dog - from Quahog, Rhode Island. Peter is quite slow at taking in information, and is pretty ... Read review

Family Guy - Season 4 is the fourth season of the popular TV show, Family Guy! It was created by Seth McFarlane, who also created "American Dad", and was the first season back after they were canceled during the third season run. Understandably, Family Guy fans were furious at this and started again to try and get their show back on the air again. Petitions were created garnering thousands of signatures, and people wrote into Fox and staged protests ... Read review

Advantages: The return of an iconic cartoon series

...Fox network in America dropped Family Guy from their schedule after three seasons, there was a outcry...why on earth drop such a successful series?? All there was left was DVD's...DVD's that sold so well, Fox had no option other than to bring it back, and in 2005 back it came with aplomb. But could it possibly match the brillance of before?? The return hailed thirteen new episodes, which on the boxset, released in April over here in the UK, come ... Read review

...of you who've never seen Family Guy I'll give you a brief description. Family Guy is about a man named Peter, who each week gets himself into trouble and requires the aid of his dog and best friend Brian.

...The Simpsons and South Park, Family Guy has made its own unique impression on the animated comedy market. For those that don't know with Family Guy is, it follows the lives of the Griffin family (one of the most dysfunctional families on TV). Peter Griffin (the father) is all too similar to Homer Simpson, in that he has good intentions, but can't help but be a bumbling idiot in the process. Family Guy Season 4 contains 13 hilarious episodes (including ... Read review

Advantages: Great US cartoon comedy,
Disadvantages: lack of DVD extras, smallest episode count of the lot

This is series 4 of Family Guy - the show bought back from the dead after strong DVD sales persuaded FOX to recommission it onto US screens. THE SHOW ITSELF! The show is all about the hijinx of the Griffin Family: Peter - the lazy, dim witted father, Lois - the loving wife and caring mother to their children: Chris - the simple-minded son, Meg - the daughter everyone ignores and Stewie - the infant son who dreams of ruling the world....or at least ...

Advantages: Hilarious and Funny a great Show
Disadvantages: Not as good as the first three seasons

Family Guy is a short (20 minutes an episode) animated comedy series about the Griffin Family - Dad Peter (A fat idiot, his words not mine) his wife Lois, their three children Chris, Meg and Stewey (a baby with plans for world domination - kinda like a baby bond villain) and of course their taking dog Brian who is Peters best friend. First of all I need to point out that this is in fact not all of season 4 but just the first 13 episodes. From TV.com ... Read review

Advantages: laugh out loud comedy, 13 new episodes
Disadvantages: few , unoriginal extras

...series says "Lucky there's a family guy" and it has to be said I did feel bery lucky when i heard that the lovely people at fox had started remaking family guy again. Although it has alot to thank the simpsons for (Peter Griffin is just a fatter, pink version of homer) this cartoon truley is a cult classic. However maybe the description "Cult" is a very accurate description of this series. As you may or may not be aware this series has never had ... Read review

Ahh yes! Family Guy, what's not to like ? The first half of this season is hysterically funny in places. Peter has another fight with the guy in the chicken outfit for starters!!! However something seems to be lacking in this season, I really enjoyed watching this, although it needs something to keep people watching. Other than that its great, Children will love it!. Normally they have me in hysterics at how random they are (the firetruck hunting it's prey is a classic) there's enough here to keep you entertained for a while and your mates to when they pop round.
