Amazon.co.uk Review
The third season of Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy finds television's most dysfunctional cartoon family even more animated than usual. As MacFarlane himself noted, he was inspired to go for broke, thinking that the series--already juggled like a hot potato in the US TV schedules (at one point, it aired opposite the mighty Friends)--had been cancelled. Just as This Is Spinal Tap walked the fine line between "clever and stupid", so Family Guy gleefully mocks the line between "edgy and offensive".

Like The Simpsons, Family Guy lends itself to multiple viewings to catch each densely packed episode's way-inside "one-percenter" gags (so-called by the creators because that is the percentage of the audience who will get them), scattershot pop-culture references, surreal leaps and gratuitous pot shots at everyone from, predictably, Oprah, Kevin Costner and Bill Cosby to, unpredictably, Rita Rudner. Also like its Springfield counterpart, this series benefits from a great ensemble voice cast, with surprising contributions from a no-less-stellar roster of guest stars. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews

Worth every penny
Family Guy, politically incorrect, twisted, and just one of those things you have to own. If you haven't seen Family Guy before, then buy this, or one of the other series, you won't regret it.

Series three is properly my favourite series, with great episodes such as Death Lives, and Road to Europe. It's one of those programs that you can just sit back and watch, and know you'll be laughing from beginning to end.

The program reminds me of how great the Simpsons once was, this is fresh original, and frankly just fantastic.

Hilarious
This has got to be one of the best comedies of all time!
The wit is rarely sophisticated or particularly clever, but it will appeal to your childish side. It is so easy to just curl up on the sofa and spend a whole (and very relaxing) afternoon just watching this comedy and packing in a whole lot of cheap laughs.

The characters are so memorable and individual, and it is impossible not to find aspects that you can relate to with each of them.

This programme is funny to adults and children alike, and makes a fab addition to any DVD collection. This series is as good as ever.

It is also pretty good value, as you get 18 episodes.

True Brilliance
The Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park will always be compared with each other, mainly in the form of 'which is funniest'
You can be funny in many different ways, The Simpsons is funny in a clever way, South Park is funny in an immature way, Family Guy on the other hand is funny in every way.
Family guy is surreal, controversial and has a fantastic cast of characters. Rarely will you go 5 minutes without laughing when watching the many family Guy episodes.
In My Opinion, Family guy is much funnier than all its rivals, despite a lot of the jokes being 'American' jokes, making fun of American TV stars which us English folk couldnt begin to understand.
Back to the point, Family Guy DVD's are also value for money, all the episodes crammed into 2 DVD's, as opposed to the simpsons and South Park, with 4 episodes on each DVD, cramming the price up.
But this DVD, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll appreciate this review!!!
