Brief Description Release date: 02-11-2009 Format: DVD Number of Discs: 3 Run Time: 320 minutes Family Guy Family Guy is an animated comedy which flollows the adventures of the Griffin family. The Griffins are like any normal American family, mum, dad, 2 teenage children, a baby and a dog....except the dad's a bumbling idiot, the baby is an evil genius and the dog can talk. Family Guy is as wickedly funny as it is offensive and took humour to a place where the Simpsons would never dare to go. Cancelled twice, the shows cult status earned it a reprieve. This DVD features all the episodes from Season 8 of this ...  Read the complete review

I've read a few reviews of Family Guy - Season 8 on here and noted some mixed opinions. Personally, I think that this collection is home to some of the best episodes yet. If you've been living in a cave for the past 10 years, Family Guy is an adult animated comedy which is not for the easily offended. It tells the story of Peter Griffin - an obnoxious but hilarious father, Lois - his fairly normal wife, Meg - their ugly unloved daughter, Chris - their simple son, Stewie - their baby who plans to kill Lois and take over the world, and Brian - their talking dog! I know it sounds weird, but it really is worth persisting with! This box set features ...  Read the complete review

Created by Seth MacFarlane, Family Guy is an animated television show that features voice over's from Seth Green, Alex Borstein, and Mike Henry. Based in the fictional town of Rhode Island the show follows the lives of the Griffin family (Peter, Lois, Chris, Meg, Stewie, and Brian) as well as the other inhabitants of Spooner Street. Family Guy is well known for its crude and suggestive adult humour, the callous portrayal of celebrities, and outrageous or highly unlikely situations. Due to this you'll either love it or hate it and I'm happy to say that I fall into the former as I am a committed fan of the show. Thanks to a constantly high standard and ...  Read the complete review

This is a great season of Family Guy. Like all animated series such as the Simpsons, South part etc, the later series are generally the best ones. At some points they did seem to be running out of material a little, but generally a great laugh. This kind of humor is very offensive to pretty much everyone, it is sexist, racist and pretty much everything else but seen as it discriminates against everyone I can't really see how one particular group can be more offended. If it is taken with a pinch of salt it is very amusing and sometimes laugh out load funny. Peter (the father) plays the character of an obnoxious, severely annoying husband and dad), Lois plays a fairly ...  Read the complete review

This newest season of family guy to be released to DVD is another big win for Seth Macfarlane but I wouldn't say it was his best work it feels to me that is Family guy becomes more and more popular and the seasons progress the episodes suffer, in my mind they have started to become a little sloppy and not as great as some of the older classics. This season certainly wasn't as good as season 6 and 7 in which some comedy gold is made. However this is still family guy so really anything on this show is still going to be comedy gold and what ever the writers produce they can't go far wrong. If you want to get a season of family guy get this one becuase it's the ...  Read the complete review
