The dysfunctional Griffins of Quahog, Rhode Island, invite comparisons to The Simpsons. The testicular-chinned father, Peter Griffin, is a clueless oaf in the Homer mold. "Peter, what did you promise me last night?" asks his long-suffering wife Lois in one episode. "That I wouldn't drink at the stag party," he replies. "And what did you do?" she asks. "Drank at the stag part--oh ho ho, I almost walked into that one," he cackles. Other family members include teenage daughter Meg, a desperate high school social pariah; 13-year-old son Chris, a chip off his father's blockhead; and Brian, the family's sarcastic talking dog. But this series' true inspiration is football-pated Stewie (voiced by McFarlane, who earned an Emmy), who was born to be a Bond villain once he escaped his mother's "ovarian bastille." Family Guy recklessly ventured where The Simpsons feared to tread. In one episode, Meg's one and only friend turns out to be the member of a suicidal cult. In another, Death (voiced by Norm McDonald) becomes an unwanted houseguest. Each episode plays fast and furious with surreal flashes (in one episode, Peter turns his house into a puppet) and pop-culture references and TV, movie, and commercial parodies that invite repeated viewings. Freed from its own family-hour bastille and the whims of dim network executives, Family Guy can be appreciated at last on its own profane, sacrilegious, and irreverent terms. Welcome to the DVD family, Griffins. --Donald Liebenson

Buy this DVD!!!
While browsing through these reviews, I saw alot of people commenting that Family Guy makes no sense or that its a rip-off of the Simpsons and to these people I have only one thing to say: Lighten up!! Family Guy isn't supposed to make sense and therein lies its charm. I'll admit, there are several similarities between this show and The Simpsons but to say that every character and plot is directly lifted from The Simpsons is a bit extreme. What do Maggie and Stewie have in common, except that their babies? What do Brian and Bart have in common except that their both boys? Gimme a break. Look, to anyone that's thinking about purchasing these DVDs, go right ahead. Trust me, it'll be the best thirty bucks you've ever spent. And with all these stupid reality t.v. shows (which are really starting to resemble each other more and more every time, am I right?) it's good to have some form of escape after a long day's work and this is certainly it. Family Guy is laugh-out-loud, rolling-on-the-floor, running-to-the-bathroom-b4-u-wet-urself hilarious! <

And when you do get it, keep an eye out for Quagmeyer. He's a riot!
