Family Guy - Freakin' Party Pack (1999) Review

Family Guy - Freakin' Party Pack (1999)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is what you want to buy, if you're new to family guy and want to see the episodes. This includes almost everything out so far. Here's what you'll get.
-Season One (Volume 1)
-Season Two (Volume 1)
-Season Three (Volume 2)
-Season Four Part 1(Volume 3)
-Season Four Part 2(Volume 4)
-Season Five Part 1(Volume 5)
*You do not get Season Five Part 2(Volume 6) as it is not out yet, so you only have the first half of season five*
-Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story
And a Bonus Disc, which includes deleted scenes, an inside the recording booth feature, guest star interviews, storyboards, amoung other things.
-You'll also get a ping pong set (Paddles, Net, and Balls)
-A Poker Set (100 Chips, and Cards)
-And a Collectible Carrying Case.
(All of the discs are the same as how they were released before in the season sets, and include all of the extra footage, and deleted scenes).
The only disc I've found you don't get is "The Freakin' Sweet Collection".Besides the fact that "The Freakin' Sweet Collection" is missing, this is the ultimate family guy pack, especially for new family guy fans. The best thing about the one on amazon, is that the retail price is $150, and amazon is selling for only $100! That's cheaper than their price for just volumes 1-4. As for if you have been a fan since it came out, and already own all the seasons, it's up to you if you want to buy this for the carrying case, poker set, and ping pong set. You will probably be able to find just the carrying case, sooner or later, for those that already own all of the seasons and don't wish to purchase them again.

Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side:

The story of The Empire Strikes Back is retold. Darth Vader (Stewie) is hunting the rebel Luke Skywalker (Chris) and his troops relentlessly across the galaxy. On the ice planet Hoth, Luke has a vision of his late mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Herbert), telling him to go to the Dagobah system to learn the ways of the Force under Jedi Master Yoda (Carl). Meanwhile Princess Leia (Lois) finds herself taking a shine to the scruffy pilot Han Solo (Peter) and, against all odds, the two soon fall in love. But an encounter with Han’s old friend Lando Calrissian (Mort) lands them in the clutches of the Empire. Envisioning this, Luke chooses to forgo his Jedi training to save his friends. It all comes to a head in a climactic confrontation with Darth Vader himself…
The Family Guy: Something, Something, Something, Darkside DVD is presented in full screen aspect ratio featuring English 5.1 Dolby Surround, Line 21, English for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, English, Spanish, French, and Brazilian stereo and subtitles. Special features include: ● Audio Commentary ● Deleted Scenes ● Behind-The-Scenes Featurette – “The Darkside of Poster Art” ● Animatics ● Pop-Up Video Family Guy - Blue Harvest:What better way to launch Family Guy's sixth season and commemorate Star Wars' 30th anniversary than with this double-length Very Special Episode, a full-scale, awesomely animated spoof that recasts George Lucas' saga with Family Guy's galaxy of characters: Chris (Seth Green) is Luke; Lois (Alex Borstein) is Princess Leia; Peter (Seth McFarlane) is Han Solo, but not, as expected, Jabba the Hut; Brian (Seth, again) is Chewbacca; Quagmire (and again, Seth) is C3PO; Cleveland is R2D2; Herbert, the creepy senior pedophile, is Obi-Wan (both voiced by Mike Henry); and, of course, Stewie (Seth, already) is Darth Vader ("My diapers have gone over to the dark side"). Poor Meg is reduced to a cameo as the hideous reptilian creature that haunts the garbage compactor. Blue Harvest is reverently faithful to A New Hope, while engaging in typical Family Guy pop-culture references (everything from those old Grey Poupon commercials to Doctor Who, Airplane, Dirty Dancing, and Deal or No Deal) and bizarre digressions (the iconic opening crawl detours into an appreciation of a "way naked" Angelina Jolie in Gia). Along for the wild ride are Judd Nelson, who contributes a voice cameo as John Bender for a Breakfast Club gag, Rush Limbaugh railing against futuristic affirmative action on Tatooine talk radio, and Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase as the vacationing Griswolds observing the rebellion from their orbiting station wagon. A Star Wars spoof in 2007 isn't exactly uncharted territory. As Chris Griffin notes in this episode's final moments, Robot Chicken brilliantly did it months earlier (and let us not forget Mel Brooks' Spaceballs from 1987; or, on second thought...). But the Force is strong with Family Guy, and who could resist the opportunity to hear the Muzak playing in a Death Star elevator? --Donald Liebenson

In this exclusive 88 minute DVD premiere, featuring brand new, never before seen content, Stewie, the maniacal baby genius, is distracted from his plans for world domination when he sees a man who looks just like him on television. Convinced that this man must be his real father (after all, how could he possibly share genetic material with the dimwitted Peter?), Stewie sets off on a cross-country road trip to find him. But his incredible journey leads him to discoveries far more vile and shocking that anything found in his diaper.

American Dad, Vol. 4 Review

American Dad, Vol. 4
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The following 14 episodes will be on this set:
Tearjerker
Oedipal Panties
Widowmaker
Red October Sky
Office Spaceman
Stanny Slickers
Spring Break-Up
1600 Candles
The One That Got Away
One Little Word
Choosy Wives Choose Smith
Escape From Pearl Bailey
Pulling Double Booty
The Most Adequate Christmas Ever
What this means is that there will be 14 episodes left unreleased from the current(4th) season. Hopefully they will release those after the season and then maybe they can just release full seasons instead of these partial season "volumes" we have been getting(at full season prices , might I add). As far as the show itself.......well , my title says it best! In it's 4th season , the show continues to get better and better every week. The episode "Tearjerker" is probably the best one on this set. It is the one parodying the James Bond Movies. As much as I loved the Family Guy Star Wars Parody , in my humble opinion , this is far superior. My only bone to pick with the writers is that Klaus seems to be used a little less than in the early episodes. This set will also contain the usual bonus features ( Deleted Scenes , Commentary , Unrated/Uncensored Episodes , etc.)
BTW To those wondering about the future of the show , FOX has extended this show for a 5th season!
UPDATE: I picked up my copy today and one little note for the few that might care. The packaging is different from the first 3 Volumes. The case is smaller , the size of a single dvd case with three slots inside for the discs.

Johnny Bravo: Season One (Cartoon Network Hall of Fame) Review

Johnny Bravo: Season One (Cartoon Network Hall of Fame)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These past few years have been amazing for fans of animated television series from the eighties and nineties. To think that back at the start of this decade, when the millenium had just arrived, we were first introduced to DVD boxed sets and they were reserved mostly for top property shows like The Simpsons, South Park or Family Guy, or else new properties like 24. Now only as this decade comes to a close have animation fans started seeing some major releases as far as past animated series on DVD. Amazing shows such as GI Joe, Transformers, X-men: The Animated Series, and Daria (to be released this May) finally became available on DVD.
Now fans of the classic Cartoon Network shows, from back in the Toonami days, can own th complete first season fo Johnny Bravo, a show that was worked on by Family Guy's own Seth Macfarlane. The first season contains the following 13 episodes on 2-discs,
Disc 1
1. Super Duped:Bungled in the Jungle:Bearly Enough Time
2. The Sensitive Male: Bravo-Dooby-Doo
3. Date with an Antelope: Did You See a Bull Run by Here?: Cookie Crisis
4. I Used to Be Funny: My Fair Dork: 'Twas the Night
5. Blarney Buddies: Over the Hump: Johnny Bravo Meets Farrah Fawcett
6. Hip Hop Flop!: Talk to Me, Baby: Spaced Out Cat
7. Beach Blanket Bravo: The Day the Earth Didn't Move Around Anymore: The Aisle of Mixed Up Toys
Disc 2
8. Substitute Teacher: A Wolf in Chicks Clothing: Intensive Care
9. Jumbo Johnny: The Perfect Gift: Bravo, James Bravo
10. Going Batty: Berry the Butler: Red Faced in the White House
11. The Man Who Cried Clown: Johnny Real Good: Talky Tabitha
12. Johnny Bravo Meets Adam West: Johnny Bravo Meets Donny Osmond: Under the Big Flop
13. Johnny Bravo: Jungle Boy: Johnny Bravo and the Amazon Women
Special Features
-Bringing Up Bravo: Series documentary allowing viewers to explore the beginnings, middle, endings and everything in between that is Johnny Bravo.
-Audio Commentary by Van Partible, Jeff Bennett and Seth Macfarlane
-Johnny Bravo Original Pencil Tests: Introduction by Van Partible, some of the original pencil tests used in production process
-Seth Macfarlane Audio Track: Listen to Seth Macfarlane lay down an entire temp track on his own, well before he would become known for his Family Guy

Hopefully this release will sell well and lead to the release of further seasons and the release of other Cartoon Network properties in season sets or complete series set form. I grew up watching Deter's Laboratory and would love to own it on DVD. Johnny Bravo was a lesser favorite of mine in comparison so I give the series a 4/5 but certainly feel safe giving this set 5/5 on account of all the special features sure to please fans who are happy enough just to own the episodes in a proper set.Thanks for your time.

Family Guy, Vol. 6 Review

Family Guy, Vol. 6
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Definitely the highlights of this volume are the incredible Stewie Kills Lois/Lois Kills Stewie episodes. I remember watching "Stewie Kills Lois" when it first aired and I was blown away (well not as blown away as Lois) and I couldn't wait for the conclusion after the courtroom cliffhanger. They were the debut of the season seven, right? (I can't keep track of which season is which on Family Guy anymore). Did you ever wonder what would happen if the Griffins actually knew Stewie's evil intentions? Well, you'll find out in these episodes without future episodes being jeopardized. Yes, things will return to "normal," but, as Stewie says, he hopes you'll enjoy the ride. I found it funny (and a little odd) that "Stewie Kills Lois" re-aired on Mother's Day. I have the Target special edition of this volume which includes a cool mini poster featuring those episodes. This volume also includes the last we'll see (I guess) of Brian's short lived romance with Jillian. I wish that were not the case because she was hilarious! Anyway, here is what you get with Volume Six:
Disc 1:
"No Meals On Wheels"--The Griffins open up a restaurant. To boost the low turnout, Joe offers to make "Big Pete's House of Munch" the new hangout for his buddies...but not his cop buddies. That "Cripple Tron" was pretty stupid.
"Boys Do Cry"--Lois tries out for the new church organist (highlight: Herbert plays and sings "I Know What Boys Like") and when she gets the job, she forces her family to go to church. When Stewie spits up the communion wine, he's believed to be possessed by the devil, so the Griffins flee to a more tolerant part of the country...Texas. This was a good one until Gilbert Gottfried ended it on a stupid note.
"No Chris Left Behind"--Chris is expelled from James Woods High School for being the dumbest student. He ends up at his grandfather Pewterschmidt's alma mater Morningwood Academy, but is hazed for being poor. Highlight: Stewie as King Friday. Oh, and am I the only one who hates that fighting chicken?
"It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One"--While vacationing at Quagmire's cabin, the Griffins swim in a toxic lake. After an Amadeus parody (they sure grew back their hair fast), Lois is outraged when Mayor West tells her he is allowing oil companies to dump waste in the lake. Lois decides to run against him, but will she be just as susceptible to corruption?
"Meet The Quagmires"--In this "Back to the Future" parody, Peter gets death to let him go back in time to 1984 so he can have fun during his bachelor years. When he turns down Lois for a date, he finds he has changed the future. Peter is now married to Molly Ringwald and Lois is Mrs. Glenn Quagmire! Highlight: Peter keeps going back in time to fix his mistake and keeps making the same mistake (he makes Homer Simpson seem like a genius).
Disc 2:
"Movin' Out (Brian's Song)"--Brian tries to prove he's serious about Jillian by moving in with her. Meanwhile, Meg gets a job at a convenience store, but when she gets Chris a job, she ends up fired while Chris and the boss talk movies all day. I didn't like the ending because I liked Jillian as Brian's airheaded girlfriend.
"Believe It Or Not, Joe's Walking On Air"--Ha! They got the title from "The Greatest American Hero." Highlights: Fred Flintstone confesses something shocking about Betty to Barney Rubble, Dr. Hartman and Mr. Pewterschmidt's voice comparison, frogs on vacation in Ethiopia. Out of guilt for holding Bonnie back, Joe undergoes an experimental procedure to get his legs back, but ends up walking out on his friends and family (get it? "walking out").
"Stewie Kills Lois"--Now for the highlight episodes of the season. Lois and Peter go on a cruise without Stewie. Stewie is so mad he threatens ruthless revenge, but Brian doesn't believe he really means it so he dares him to really go through with it. Stewie: "I did it! I killed her! She's dead! Ha, Ha, Ha!... [falls]... Ow! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!...Oh yeah, that's right." The cliffhanger to this episode is awesome!
"Lois Kills Stewie"--Stewie looks like he has finally taken over the world, but there is one last hurdle: the final showdown with Lois. I don't remember seeing the "Never Will Be Missed" musical number during the TV airing.
"Padre De Familia"--After a Veteran's Day parade, Peter becomes a rabid American patriot who goes on a campaign against all illegal aliens...until his mother gives him some shocking news.
"Peter's Daughter"--After Meg almost dies in a flash flood, Peter becomes overprotective, especially when she wants to date a young, handsome doctor (why he would want to date Meg is never explained). Meanwhile, Stewie and Brian fix up an old house.
Disc 3:
"McStroke"--Peter joins the mustache lifestyle, which includes stepping in as a volunteer fireman and saving a man from a burning McBurgertown. Given a lifetime of free burgers, Peter eats so much he suffers a stroke and decides to sue the restaurant. His case is aided by a talking cow he finds in "Dacow." Included is a parody of those chase scenes from "The Monkees." Meanwhile, Stewie becomes the popular high school student, Zack Sawyer, but doesn't fare well at "Anal Point."
Special Features--OK, one episode on a DVD seems like a gyp, but there are a lot of extras on this disc. They include, and are not limited to, "Family Guy 100th Episode Special," "I'm Huge (and the babes go wild)" music video, "Family Guy Live-Just For Laughs," and my favorite part of the bonus features: "Deleted Scenes" of which there are lots.

Family Guy, Vol. 4 (Season 4 Part 2) (2005) Review

Family Guy, Vol. 4 (Season 4 Part 2) (2005)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, what is with the selection screens? I have to adjust my television just to read the options! Anyway, several episodes here are up to the high standards of previous Family Guy seasons. My favorites are "PTV," "The Fat Guy Strangler," "Father, Son, and the Holy Fonz," and "You May Now Kiss..." (Jasper is funny). Others, however, I found to be mediocre or just plain bad ("Patriot Games"). There are not as many episodes I want to see over and over as there are on volumes 1-3, but this season is still good enough for 4 stars. There are a lot of extras on disc 3, too. 44 deleted scenes and you can select all and have them play one after the other (some of these jokes are better than the ones that got left in the shows). The featurettes are very interesting where many of the directors and artists are interviewed on what all is entailed in putting a show together. Also, these episodes are uncensored (there is an F-Bomb dropped or two) but there is a censored option (isn't it usually the other way around?). Anyway, here are the episodes:
Disc 1
"PTV": A wardrobe malfunction involving David Hyde Pierce at the Emmys causes the FCC to censor all tv--"The `bleep' Van `bleep' Show, Starring `bleep' Van `bleep.' So Peter starts his own network featuring such highbrow programs as "The Side-Boob Hour" and "Dogs Humping."
"Brian Goes Back to College": The New Yorker magazine is interested in Brian as a contributor but requires a college degree. Brian had dropped out of Brown University. It's strange to think of an animated dog in this way, but I'd always thought Brian was so cool and together. Hearing him lament about how he never finishes anything put a new spin on his character.
"The Courtship of Stewie's Father": Chris works for that disgusting old man who likes young boys while Stewie and Peter bond over something they both enjoy immensely: terrorizing Lois. This episode almost makes one sympathize with that old pediaphile (well, almost).
"The Fat Guy Strangler": My favorite of this volume. Lois finds out she has a brother who went crazy after seeing their mother having relations with Jackie Gleason (hence his hatred of fat men). Meanwhile, Peter makes the shocking discovery that he is fat and starts the NAAFP.
"The Father, the Son and the Holy Fonz": Peter's father baptizes Stewie with tainted holy water and he has to be quarantined in a plastic bubble. Meanwhile, Peter starts the church of the Fonz--"Please rise.....Now sit on it."
Disc 2:
"Brian Sings and Swings": A near-death experience causes Brian to feel he must live for the moment so he hooks up with Frank Sinatra Jr. as part of the New Rat Pack. A funnier side story is Meg pretending to be a lesbian to be accepted into a club.
"Patriot Games": This has to be the most stupidest Family Guy ever. Peter meets Tom Brady and joins the New England Patriots (along side Diet Pepsi machine?) but is transferred to a London team for showboating. Meanwhile, Brian fails to pay a debt and Stewie gives him a beat-down mob-style.
"I Take Thee Quagmire": Quagmire gets married and soon realizes it was a mistake. Meanwhile, Lois is weaning Stewie but he finds he is addicted to breast milk.
"Sibling Rivalry": Peter donates to a sperm bank and Stewie's rival baby is born (remember "Emission Impossible"?). Meanwhile, Peter stops having relations with Lois after his vasectomy and Lois gets fat. I like that part. Another highlight: Chris's shoebox diarrhea of the evolution of man.
"Deep Throats": After getting what he deemed to be an excessively high parking ticket, Brian wants to find dirt on Mayor West and sees him dating his young intern: Meg.
Disc 3
"Peterotica": First off, that Quagmire stuff in the beginning is very annoying. Anyway, Peter writes erotic novels and uses Lois's father's name as the publishing company. When someone gets into a car accident listening to Peter's book on tape (read by Betty White), Mr. Pewterschmidt loses everything and must move in with the Griffins.
"You May Now Kiss the...Uh...Guy Who Receives": (You get it? Hahaha). Brian's gay cousin Jasper plans on marrying his partner but Brian first must fight Mayor Wests' ban on gay marriage.
"Petergeist": Peter digs in the yard and finds an Indian skull and weird things start to happen. Part of the plot is similar to that Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors where a 3D Homer is stuck in another dimension.
"The Griffin Family History": The Griffins are stuck in a panic room while their house is being robbed so Peter tells them stories of his ancestors Nate the slave, Willie "Black-Eyed" Griffin the silent comedy star, and Peter H*tler who was the brother of...yeah.

Family Guy, Vol. 2 (Season 3) (2003) Review

Family Guy, Vol. 2 (Season 3) (2003)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It is an unfortunate fact that in the politically correct age we live in that edgy comedy is categorized as offensive when it is really just being silly. That is exactly what happened to "Family Guy" a series that laid siege to every one of our sacred cows (religion, sex, violence, race relations, etc.), but did so in such a matter of fact manner, I find it hard to believe that anyone could have taken issue with it. Nonetheless, the series is no more; fortunately, we have the DVD compilations featuring every episode in its uncut hilariousness.
Season Three comprises twenty-one episodes, one of which was never aired on television. Actually, "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" exemplifies my point about political correctness, as its silly, even complimentary view of Judaism could offend only the most supremely sensitive person. But enough with the negative, as there are some genuinely hilarious episodes on these discs. Moreover, since Fox aired them somewhat sporadically during the final season, it's likely there are one or two episodes that will be new to the viewer. For example, I had never seen "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas" or "Road to Europe" both of which feature some of the best parody in the set. Other highlights include "A Fish Out of Water" which features a spectacularly fat Peter, "To Love and Die in Dixie" which is the best "Family Guy" tribute to a TV series with its "Dukes of Hazard" inspired storyline, and "Family Guy Viewer Mail #1" which features three shorts that abandon all pretense of a basis in reality and produce some the best sight gags ever seen during the show's run.
That said, anyone who buys this set probably already knows how funny this show is, but what makes this collection really impressive is the quality of the extras. First off is the packaging itself which features an episode guide on the back of each case, which makes it easy to find that specific episode you're looking for. Or, if you've got more time, the ability to play every episode on the disc consecutively is a great feature. In addition, the commentary which is available on five of the episodes ranges from informative to hysterical. However, the true highlights are to be found on Disc 3, which contains animatics (pencil drawings) of several deleted scenes, complete with dialogue. These are nice not only because they contain new material, but also because they offer some insight into how the episodes evolved into their finished form. Next are two short documentaries, which offer a funny, interesting look into the series' development, the voice talent, how the characters evolved, and ultimately, why the show didn't last. Finally, there is the "Family Guy" pilot that was pitched to the network; again it's interesting to see how these relatively crudely drawn (but well voiced) characters evolved into the show that become such a cult hit.
Ultimately, if you are a big fan of the show, you need this collection, and nothing I say here is going to make you more likely to buy it. However, if you're sitting on the fence, I can't emphasize enough what a great show "Family Guy" is. It is literally funnier than anything on TV today, and over time, I expect it will be even more broadly appreciated for its comic genius. If you want to laugh until it hurts, and aren't offended by humor on the edge, this is definitely a show for you. Finally, I would just like to point out that Seth MacFarlane alludes to a line written for Stewie in an episode that never aired, so let's all hope that there may be yet more to come!
Enjoy!
Jake Mohlman

Oh how I too wish for the old days of Stewie's antics to rule the world.
That said, another season of laughter and references to pop culture and celebrities mistakes.
Not the best price for a few solid hours of laughter but being a deployed soldier, it has been nice to have it on and just laugh out loud.
Enjoy it over and over.

Family Guy, Vol. 1 (Seasons 1 & 2) (1999) Review

Family Guy, Vol. 1 (Seasons 1 and 2) (1999)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Family Guy only had a three season run (I think after a year of silence it's safe to say there won't be anymore). These two DVDs make up over half of the 50 episodes in the series. Despite what you may have heard, these 28 episodes entail every episode that aired in the first two seasons. Because of Season 1's late start, a lot of season 1 episodes were pushed into season 2, which in turn pushed some season 2 episodes into season 3.
The series starts of very strong for a first-time viewer. The episodes are packed tight with jokes and often go off on wild tangents. The early stories are a little weak, but they pick up in the second season where the series gets even more creative. Definately something that keeps getting better through the second season. The third season was a little weaker, so if you were only getting one of the two sets, I'd recommend this one.
If you've never seen Family Guy, then be warned: it's not for everyone. It's got crude humour, and isn't afraid to poke fun at just about anything, despite what popular opinion might be.
The DVD set also comes at a relatively cheap price, considering you're getting 28 episodes of Family Guy goodness. The third season set would most likely entail the other 21 episodes (22 if they include the unaired "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein") and thus in two purchases you can have all of Family Guy.

Meet the Griffins: Peter, the big, lovable oaf who always says what’s on his mind. Lois, the doting mother who can’t figure out why her baby son keeps trying to kill her. Their daughter Meg, the teen drama queen who’s constantly embarrassed by her family. Chris, the beefy 13-year-old who wouldn’t hurt a fly, unless it landed on his hot dog. Stewie, the maniacal one-year-old bent on world domination. And Brian, the sarcastic dog with a wit as dry as the martinis he drinks. The animated adventures of his outrageous family will have your whole family laughing out loud.

Family Guy, Vol. 7 Review

Family Guy, Vol. 7
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As much as I love Family Guy, I still can't understand this volume business. Thirty to forty dollars for 12-13 half hour episodes is not acceptable. Smallville and Battlestar Galactica charge that much for entire seasons composed of 20-22 one hour episodes (for seasons one and three for BSG, anyway, since I still don't understand the 2.0, 2.5, 4.0, and 4.5 crap, but I waited for the price to drop on those as well).
And on top of that, the packaging of previous volumes has been done away with for the cheaper flip box. If a premium price is going to be charged, then I expect premium services.
So my complaint isn't the show, which I still give five stars to, but the price and packaging. I did my usual thing of waiting and waiting and the price eventually came down, but lets be serious. Shouldn't have to do that.

Family Guy, Vol. 8 Review

Family Guy, Vol. 8
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Look at this point if you're still going to complain how the show is not funny since the earlier seasons I can't blame you, in fact I agree with you. I think Family Guy has gone a little downhill yes but I still like it for what it is. Besides I think most customers visiting this page are actually interested in this volume DVD, the episodes it contains and they should know what to expect out of those 3 discs. If you're just here to complain well beat it, it's just a television show right? Maybe it's not as funny to you but I still get a good laugh out of watching the show and think it's still more entertaining than most of what is on television right now. Vol 8 has the seven remaining episodes of season 7 and the first eight of season 8 for a total of 15 episodes.
Here are all of the episodes on Vol.8:
1.FOX-y Lady
2.Not All Dogs Go To Heaven
3.420
4.Stew-Roids
5.We Love You, Conrad
6.Three Kings
7.Peter's Progress
8.Road To The Multiverse
9.Family Goy
10.Spies Reminiscent of Us
11.Brian's Got a Brand New Bag
12.Hannah Banana
13.Quagmire's Baby
14.Jerome is the New Black
15.Dog Gone
It seems that even if some fans of the show didn't enjoy this season as much as the others ones they generally agree that there are a few great episodes on Vol 8 such as "Road To The Multiverse" and "Stew-Roids". I also liked "Quagmire's Baby" and "Three Kings". I don't think Family Guy is done just yet but if they don't do something soon then it could be the end of the show. Fans brought the show out of cancellation and could very well put it back to that status. I don't think vol 9 will be that much better as I've seen most of those episodes ( "Brian & Stewie" was just a painful one to watch).
And yes they still haven't done anything about the "volumes" DVD and you don't get a full season here, it's disappointing but that's what they've been doing since season 4 when they decided to split a season in two DVD's boxed set and I guess it's what Fox will continue to do so for future DVD releases. Yes I've bought this DVD even if I'd like actual season sets to be released because I enjoy Family Guy. I just wish they wouldn't charge as much for only 15 episodes in a cheap package, basically the same as season 7's, I also hope they don't discontinue the DVD version with the cover on it like they did for season 7 after a while that was just disappointing. There are still some good episodes on this Volume DVD, the show is not what it once was but it's still decent. 3 stars.
