> 24 hourIf you enjoyed the prequal, Blu Harvest, or even if you didnt you will enjoy this movie. It helps to watch the first to understand some of the references, but it is really not required. This was a truly great movie and it actually had me laughing out loud. I would certainly reccomend this to any family guy fans, and even thoughs who just kind of like it. The only reason I was not able to give this DVD 5 stars is the extras that were on the disc were a little lacking, there were some but not enough. the ones that were on the disk were mainly cast readings and not very good.

> 24 hourDefinitely had some good laughs, however wasnt a side splitter if you will. I had seen the shows before, so I knew what I was getting. A complaint (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) was the video quality of the first movie, Blue Harvest, was essentially that of an up-converted DVD. Putting in the other two movies will make you realize the vast improvement in the quality compared to the first. The extras were for the most part entertaining and interesting. The commentary was very similar to the commentary on the DVDs of the show except with more information on production, ideas about S.W., etc. Ive very satisfied with my purchase, especially for the price of $23 for the set. I just wished 1/3 of the video quality lived up to the other 2/3!

> 24 hourI had already owned the first two movies on DVD. But when i saw this set for only 22.99 here on Amazon on Blu Ray, I thought that the deal was too good too pass up. Based on the Amazon description, I wasnt expecting much. Just the BDs and the Bonus features listed which were for the new film. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised when i got this today! Every film includes a digital copy, something not listed by Amazon in the description. In addition, it looks like all the bonus features from the past releases are still there, something that was also not listed by Amazon when I purchased. All this, 3 great BD titles plus digital copies plus tons of bonus stuff..... all for under 8 dollars per title. Cant beat that. Here is a full rundown of the bonus features listed for each title: Blue Harvest: *Audio Commentary from Seth Macfarlane and director, producers, writers, and editors *A Conversation with George Lucas *The Making Of Blue Harvest *Animatic Version of Blue Harvest *Family Guy Star Wars Clip Show( my favorite bonus feature from the past releases) *Uncensored audio track Something Something Something Darkside: *Audio Commentary *Fact Up Version of the feature( kinda like those old VH1 pop-up videos, with fun facts popping up throughout the movie) *Poster Art Featurette *Sneak Peak at the next feature with Table read Its a Trap! *Audio Commentary *A very Special message from Dart Stewie *Star Wars Trivial Pursuit: The ultimate Challenge *Drawing with Peter Shin *Sock Puppet Outtakes *Animatic *Making The Scene featurette That oughta keep you busy for a while, eh? And then there is the feature itself. Well, Im not gonna review that in depth, simply because I think since this hasnt been broadcast yet, many people who buy this will be seeing it for the first time and I dont want to give anything away. But I will say I thought it was just as good as the first two. Really enjoyable. Family Guy fans will not be disappointed with this set. It is a little sad to see it end, since from what i understand there are no plans for making Episode I, II, and III parodies. Hopefully they do something similar, maybe with Back to the Future or Indian Jones, two franchises they are constantly referencing. Cant you just picture Peter and Francis tied up to the chair in The Last Crusade! EDIT: The Its A Trap Digital Copy Disc also features a DVD of the movie. I did not notice it at first.

> 24 hourNot for non-Star Wars fans, even those who like Family Guy. Basically if you havent seen and appreciated The Empire Strikes Back, you will have little love for this film. A female friend of mine who loves Family Guy, but who never has seen Star Wars (right?!?!?!?!?!) hated it. I appreciate the witty humor and the crossover of the Family Guy characters into their Star Wars roles. If you like this you should also check out Shin Chan, a Japanese anime spoof of star wars. Pretty freaking awesome too!

> 24 hourI was a little shocked to actually hear the F word come out of the characters mouths- I was expecting a decent amount of bleeps- but was pleasently suprised when there were no bleeps to be heard- no blurs or black boxes (except for one- but I feel it needed to be done)- and I almost peed my pants at the sight of Sgt Scrotes, and the line ......anything with an amputee (youll have to see it to understand). As with any Family Guy episode there are the occassional groaner, but for the most part it stays true to the TV series. After a near death experience, Stewie tries to be a better person as to not end up in hell (his glimpse into his possible eternity of damnation left him frightened for his soul) After giving up on being nice, Stewie happens to catch a glimpse of a man on Television who has an uncanny resemblence to him- so he sets out, with Brian, to find the man who he believes is his REAL father. The movie gives a glimpse into a possible future for the Griffin family, and, as in the TV series, Megs future is the most interesting, and as it always is in the show, the meanest (what do they have against Meg anyway?) For the Hardcore Family Guy fan (those that felt that its first cancellation was a crime to TV, and rushed out to grab a copy of the the first season when they heard it was being released and missed many nights of sleep waiting for the day- yep - like me)- this is a must see, for casual fans of the show- eh- maybe- if you hate the show- just avoid it. Sure, its not a pinnacle in animation- far from it (rememeber, this is a show that pushes the envelope on good taste, its no Beauty and the Beast) I do think it wouldve been fun as a musical (which couldve used a ton of Disney/Classic Musical movie parodies- but still funny)

> 24 hourFamily Guy is, bar none, the best animated series that has ever been broadcast on television. Beating out the Simpsons in almost every aspect, the show had an unusually large amount of political and racial satire, parody, and pop culture. The most politically incorrect series out there (which is probably why it was cancelled), Family Guy is also the most ingenuous. Crazy humor fills every episode - not a croaker in the bunch. If youre a big fan of the Simpsons, or really any sitcom, Family Guy is the show for you. Dont miss your chance and pick up your copy of the Family Guy Seasons 1 & 2 today. And remember to snatch up that third season when it is released in September. Long live the Griffins! Im the Griffins house! Bring me a toolshed, for I am hungry. -Peter Griffin Brian: Ah, Brown University - the old Alma Mater. Chris: Brown is the color of poo! Brian: Yes...yes it is. Brian: Ive been to the top of the mountain, lady. Ive seen it all! Chris: Wh...what did you see? Was it breasts? Meg: Chris, youre hogging all the fans! Chris: Oh, yeah? Well youre hogging up all the ugly!!! Ahhh...good old Griffins.

> 24 hourI bought this video not so much because I really like Family Guy, but because I have all DVD releases and I feel it isnt right to exclude any. Now, I did like Seth McFarlanes interpretation of the next story of Star Wars, but I find it hard to keep buying these releases when they are so overpriced (come on, this is just 2 episodes afterall). In the beginnning, a box set was a season, now it is only 13 episodes, or about half a season, and still at the regular list of $40, sooner or later Im gonna call it quits. But, not any time soon. So far.

> 24 hourFirst of all, I have been waiting for this series to be released since it was off the air. The title of my review is no mistake: this really was the funniest show ever put on television. It may not have been the most intelligent from time to time, but intelligence does not always dictate funny. The set is worth owning if only for the commentary tracks alone. Seth Macfarlane and various other cast/crew members comment on making the series and the past of the series and even if you arent a die hard Family Guy Fan they make episodes you may have already seen 6 times fresh and even funnier than before. The only reason this set doesnt get the full 5 stars is because I noticed theyve changed some of the jokes, which apparently were too offensive for even the DVD. I say they should have gone all out on the DVD, I mean they can even swear in the commentary tracks so why censor what was already on the air anyways? Despite that disappointment (and Im sure if you dont remember the original series as vividly as I do, it wont be as big of a deal) this show remains a rare gem in the manure pile of modern television. Always edgy, *most* of the time extremely intelligent (Im thinking of the cameo of Benjamin Disrailli) and contantly reminding you of things you didnt know you remembered, The Family Guy can now serve as inspiration to the next generation and for those who werent lucky enough to catch it when it was on the air.
