Amazon.co.uk Review
The adventures of the Griffin family continue apace with this latest Family Guy boxset, which once again delivers many hours of quite brilliant animated comedy. The show, for those new to it, follows the wonderful Griffin family, headed up by the daft but loveable Peter and the happily oblivious Lois, through to their teenage kids Chris and Meg. But as any seasoned Family Guy viewer will happily tell you, the gold of the show lies with the two characters who are the brains of the family. On the one hand there’s Brian the dog, and then on the other is the little baby Stewie. He, surely, is the absolute highlight, a maniacal evil genius of a child, who in this season seven set finally manages to kill Lois. Insert your own evil laugh here. The 12 episodes on offer in the Family Guy season 7 boxset aren’t all vintage, but there are some cracking inclusions. The 100th episode special is a good place to start, and then there’s the small matter of President Bush’s underwear going walkabout. Throw in a bit of time travel for Peter, and it’s the usual oddball mix that helps make the show so strong. With plenty of rewatch value and a continued ability to generate laughs, Family Guy is a show that’s still thriving on the evidence with this set. And frankly, the next collection of episodes on DVD can’t come quickly enough. --Jon Foster

 Family Guy Season Split... September 10, 2008

I love Family Guy. I don't love the Fox release schedule for their products.
So far, this Series 7 release is actually six episodes from the American season 5. Blue Harvest was the first official episode of season 6 in the States but we get a single release (which was bloody funny).
By assumption and the fact that there was only 11 other episodes in the American season 6 due to the writers strike, one can hope that this will be a 17 episode box set and will bring us in line with the American release schedule as Season 7 is due to air 28th September,2008.
Season 7 will also include the sequel to "Blue Harvest" - "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" which will probably be released as a single DVD again.
Hope this helps the people who are confused by the episode names/ Season numbers.
Remember that our Series 8 box set will be the American Season 7... and so on and so forth!
Its still brilliant, oh and some news.... September 1, 2008

I have seen the episodes coming up on this DVD and beyond on US TV and they are funny as ever, 1 that stood out for me was when The Griffins open a restaurant and Peter gets Joe and his mates to make it their regular, thinking it will be full of cops its actually Joe's disabled friends, there is one scene where Joe and his friends all join together in their wheel chairs to make a huge transformer, classic.
Another episode sees peter as a pirate, Peter having a stroke from eating too many burgers, Joe walks again and befriends 'sporty' people, an episode sees when Quagmire marries louis, the kids as a result are hilarious, Brian finding out he has a son and the return of the Chicken.
Although these were at the end of the US season, they might cheapskate us Brits and split it into 2 seasons.
There is the ususal close to the bone satire and topnotch flashbacks to events and TV nostalgia that has made Family Guy what it is today
Family is the students choice of DVD watching and one which if bought you need the whole set to catch up. Although you could argue that Family Guy has started using humour that knows it can get away with it, because it is Family Guy, so i do feel that some of the clever and more structured jokes and gags from earlier series have gone, this series is still great entertainment and a great present or treat for someone with an openmind and positive sense of humour.
Fox and the creators of Family Guy are also working on a Spin off series called Cleveland about him and a new family he starts, check out the IMDB website for stills and information
PS Good tip
If you are looking to buy box sets of say series 1-4 or 1-6 etc look around on here because some are quite expensive and can be cheaper buying separatly

Funnier and More Inventive than any Sitcom November 16, 2008

This latest offering from the 'Family Guy' team finds the writers and producers doing their best to be more outrageous than ever before. No celebrity is too big to ridicule and absolutely NO topic is considered too taboo. If this featured real live human beings they would NEVER get away with half of what they try here!
But the acid test is this: when being profane and attacking and offending every minority group in existence, is it actually funny? The short answer is `yes'. This is not merely funny, it is very funny indeed. Rosie O'Donnell features in one particularly insulting sequence, and when Joe has a leg transplant and becomes his old active self, the guys decide the only way to fix things is to `re-cripple him again'.
This is quite literally the most non-PC programme ever put on your TV screen, but it contains more invention and (frequently hilarious) jokes per minute than any sitcom.
Highlights are two numerous to mention, but I particularly enjoyed the sofa at Quagmire's shack (watch it and tell me it isn't superb!), and Peter's stripper-cop routine at his daughter Meg's hen night. Shocking stuff!
Sad to think that `The Simpson' was once written with this kind of genius. How the mighty have fallen...
Only downside is the first two episodes were put out separately as the `Star Wars' spoof `Blue Harvest', so this pack is a little light at only 12 episodes (including the double 100th episode, split into two). But no matter, I'd happily lay out decent cash for something this good any day of the week.

Finally season 7 of Family Guy (which has taken forever to get released) can be mine!! Its better than season 6 and shows that the writers have still got plenty of great gags up their sleeves, bring on season 8!!
