Family Guy Presents: Blue Harvest (DVD)

I love star wars, and i really like Family Guy as well. So when i heard about this DVD i was really excited. That was until i heard about the price. For the single disc version it was around £10 brand new, which really isn't worth it for 2 episode (3 if you include the 'bonus' episode which is simple an old one). Thing is i really like getting the special editions of DVD and games, and so i had to get my hands on the box set of this. £20!!!! But once i wrote a few reviews on here it didnt seem as much anymore. Anyways, the feature length episode of Family Guy is basically a comedy spoof of Star Wars Episode 4. There are some really good jokes, and some that i ...  Read the complete review

The two are such a natural fit; it's hard to comprehend why we haven't seen something like this before. "Family Guy"; an animated show that takes the mickey out of everything and anything and sells more DVDs than even "The Simpsons" and "Star Wars"; one of the most iconic of films, constantly spoofed and referenced simply because the franchise has become part of public awareness since the first film was released more than three decades ago. Even if the more recent trilogy wasn't nearly as good as the original one. For those who don't know the series, the show works in true "Family Guy" fashion, being relatively ...  Read the complete review

After years of star wars jokes in many episodes of Family Guy it was decided by Seth McFarlane, the writers and FOX Network that it was about time they did a Family Guy special about Star Wars which they did and called it Blue Harvest. Based on Star Wars 4 (a new hope) or the first film depending on how you look at it, it follows the original plot but as expected Blue Harvest is full of the usual humor that makes Family Guy unique and uses all its many characters to full affect. The roles for each of the main characters is:- Peter Griffin - Han Solo Lois Griffin - Princess Leah Chris Griffin - Luke ...  Read the complete review

I haven't been able to watch Family Guy the same way since South Park done a brilliant episode that actually summed up the show and made you realize the truth. But this aside, this release is nothing more than an extended Family Guy episode shoved on a disc with a star wars marketing angle to sell it, at 45-minutes it's not even feature length despite what some comments made have made out. But is the episode any good? Well it's mildly amusing but basically it's incredibly lazy. It's Star Wars condensed with Family Guy characters taking over the roles. Peter is Han Solo, Lois is Leia, Chris is Luke while Stewie is Darth Vader, the rest of the cast ...  Read the complete review

As a newbie to FAMILY GUY, I've never actually watched a full show, I had seen this about in various stores and felt only a minor amount of interest due mostly to the fact that I am a big STAR WARS fan. When I'm bored, I often go on YOUTUBE and look up witty STAR WARS sketches including those made with LEGO STAR WARS. In the past though, I have often felt quite cheated whilst watching feature-length STAR WARS spoofs aka SPACEBALLS so had poretty much resigned myself to the fact that I probably wasn't missing much by not owning this. Then my mate told me his brother owned it and that he would have no problem lending me this as he wasn't that impressed by it. Figuring that ...  Read the complete review
