Like John Waters' shock-value comedies of yore, Family Guy keeps moving the taste-be-damned line. "You laughed at that?" these episodes spanning seasons six and seven challenge viewers. "Okay, then laugh at this!" AIDS, cancer, incest, September 11, and the films of Matthew McConaughey are all grist for the mill. Though it has taken its lumps from the South Park contingent, Family Guy merrily stays true to its absurdist, arbitrary muse. The stories are ludicrous: James Woods steals Peter Griffin's identity; Brian discovers he has a son; Stewie, Brian, and nebbish pharmacist Mort time travel back in time to Hitler's Germany; and Peter discovers Jesus Christ working at a used record store. You got a problem with that? "Go on the Internet and complain," Brian suggests. The pop-culture references are as ever arcane. "That's more of a letdown than Fruit Stripe gum," Peter remarks at one point. And the politically incorrect jokes can be jaw-droppingly wrong, as witness the game show Are You Smarter Than a Hispanic Maid, the flamboyant gay stereotypes flaunted in the episode "Family Gay," and a bit in which hearing-impaired actress Marlee Matlin tries unsuccessfully to connect with Moviefone. And how does a series on Fox get away with the moment when Stewie finds a McCain/Palin campaign button on a Nazi uniform? From Dane Cook to Jay Leno, Family Guy is always up for celebrity bashing, but some are in on the joke. In "Family Gay," Meredith Baxter spoofs her signature women-in-crisis Lifetime movies, and Seth Rogen good-naturedly supplies his own voice when Peter is injected with the Seth Rogen gene that "gives you the appearance of being funny even though you haven't actually done anything funny." And kudos to Andy Dick for his room-clearing cameo in "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing." Each episode can be viewed as originally televised or uncensored with F-bombs and other crudities unbleeped. Curiously missing in action from "Ocean's Three and a Half" is one of Family Guy's most inspired bits in which Peter's voice is mixed in to the now-infamous Christian Bale rant tape (you can find it on YouTube). Loyal Family Guy viewers are also rewarded with deleted scenes, lively episode commentaries, an entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the episode "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing," featuring Frank Sinatra Jr., and the Family Guy 2008 Comic-Con panel discussion. Family Guy, observes Mr. Sinatra, "is not comedy. It's satire." What it is, still, is way more often than not flat-out funny. --Donald Liebenson

 *sigh* November 20, 2009
James Haas (Earth)
What was once a titan in animated comedy, and comedy in general, has lost it's charm. It's become a parody of itself and it's quite sad that the writing team has run out of material. I say put it to sleep and focus on a new series. There's no going back from here. But then again, this happens with all animated series, most notably The Simpsons. So we'll see Family Guy get milked for 16 seasons be fore Fox finally cans it.
Family Guy sucks now November 18, 2009
Susanna C. Graham (USA)
Family guy was great in its first 3 seasons now it sucks.
Anyone who thanks family guy is funnier now is messed up in the head.
The plots were better, and the characters totally acted different back then.
Lois was a loving mom, now shes crazy.
Peter was a lovable oaf who was unintentionally mean. Now hes acts like hes 5 years of and hes intentionally mean.
Stewie was evil with a twist of gay, now hes just well...gay.
The show is crammed with sex jokes and cutaways now and all the characters act almost identical.
Seriously...WHAT HAPPENED?
Season 4 had some classics but thats when the series started to go downhill.
Im not saying EVERY episode has been horrible after season 3.
Just 90 percent of them.
Either cancel this show or make it better again!
 Why does the volume number not match the season number? November 17, 2009
Amanda Wright (Victoria, Australia)
Reading some of the reviews and looking at my own collection of FG seasons it makes me wonder why Volume 1 is Season 1 and 2? I have just bought what I thought was Season 8 but looking on amazon, it would seem that I have bought 1/2 of Season 8 and the rest of it, screening now (according to [...]) will be released at a later date.
It's frustrating that they don't just release the season at the end of it once they have all been screened - I guess this way they make double their money because people think they're buying the whole season but they're buying half of it because it's considered a "Volume" rather than a season (even though the sleeve says "Season 8"!!)
Please make up your mind FG - I really enjoy watching the episodes, unfortunately they're not screening on TV in Oz at the moment (on free to air tv, without HD) so I have to wait.
Definitely looking forward to the 2nd Star Wars episode - "Something, Something, Something Dark Side...."
Family Guy Vol. 7, Season 8 November 16, 2009
Madeline Spado
It's Family Guy, so I love it. My only problem is that the third disc does not play in my television's DVD player. It will play on my computer but not in my TV and that is a hassle.
 Great Series Love the Dvd's November 4, 2009
Aaron Fisk (Austin, MN)
Great Series for adults and some kids. Worth the money if you don't have cable.
