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

Synopsis
The adventures of the Griffin family continues with the story of bumbling, well-intentioned father Peter; his sweet but oblivious wife Lois; and their teenagers, dim-witted Chris and awkward Meg. The most recognisable characters, however, remain the family's masterminds: evil genius baby Stewie, determined to achieve complete world domination at the age of one, and Brian, an erudite martini-swilling dog, the family's lone voice of reason. Includes all the episodes from the seventh series.

Give Us More Episodes!!!
Finally, after a year since the release of Family Guy Season Six comes Season Seven. I've been a Family Guy fan since the beginning, since it was aired on Channel 4 at 6pm in 1999 here in the UK. I have bought every single season on DVD. With the release of Season Four, Fox decided that it would only release half seasons for the price of a full season (seasons one, two and three were the complete seasons). It didn't stop me buying them but I felt a little cheated. Now we have Season Seven.

Only twelve episodes accompany this season, the lowest in a Family Guy DVD season yet!! While the show is as funny as ever this set is an complete shambles and will leave you hungry for more. Maybe that was Fox's intention, so we would rush out and buy the next half of a season on DVD which will probably be released in another year's time. I hope Fox sees sense and starts to release them complete and not just a handful at a time.

Overall: Family Guy is as hilarious as it always is but with this Season it will be over before you know it. 3/5.

Family Guy Season Split...
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!
