Product Description
From Amazon.com
The third and final season of Seth MacFarlane's late, lamented Family Guy finds television's most dysfunctional cartoon family even more animated than usual. As MacFarlane notes in a bonus segment about the controversial series' censorship battles, he was inspired to go for broke, thinking that the series, already juggled like a hot potato in the schedule (at one point, it aired opposite the mighty Friends), had been cancelled. Just as Spinal Tap walked the fine line between "clever and stupid," so did Family Guy gleefully mock the line between "edgy and offensive." Case in point is this set's holy grail: "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," not aired during the series' original run, in which clueless Rhode Island patriarch Peter Griffin is convinced that if his lumpen son is to be rich and successful, he must become Jewish.
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 percent 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 their Springfield counterparts, this series benefits from a great ensemble voice cast, with surprising contributions from a no-less-stellar roster of guest stars. Yes, that's actually Kelly Ripa as her "real" self, a heart-devouring alien in "Family Guy Viewer Mail #1," and June Foray popping in as Rocky the Flying Squirrel in "Brian Does Hollywood." Family Guy's stock has recently risen with its addition to Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" lineup, a much better fit than prime time. To see Peter invite Charles Manson to a party for Sharon Tate ("but only if you don't embarrass me") is to marvel how much of this ever got on the air. Happily, it is on DVD. --Donald Liebenson
Description
Family Guy Volume 2 sees the return of America's most outrageous animated family with all 21 Season Three episodes, plus one never-before-seen episode - "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein" banned from TV, and only available in this collection!
In this hilarious final volume, the Griffin family faces all-new dilemmas, including Brian's unintentional foray into directing porn, Stewie's rants on national TV, Meg's date with a nudist and Lois' Yuletide insanity.
Meanwhile, Peter is surprised to discover Lois was once a groupie, and his son, Chris, is more "endowed" than he is.

Greatest Show of All Time,
By A Customer
This review is from: Family Guy: Volume Two (Season 3) (DVD)
In a day when The Simpsons has lost its edge, its truely depressing to see one of the smartest, funniest shows finish with only 3 seasons. Family Guy is the greatest cartoon ever created, hands down. I am also a fan of shows such as futurama and the simpsons, but Family Guy is the greatest hands down. Buy this DVD as well as the first 2 seasons in volume 1, you will not regret it. YOU WILL LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF.

Starting to weaken,

This review is from: Family Guy: Volume Two (Season 3) (DVD)
When I first saw Family Guy I valiantly defended it against the criticisms levelled at it. However, this season following on from the first season which was really good, does expose a lot of flaws. It has its moments sure, but Peter becomes even more stupid and irritating, and they could really get rid of Chris (or at least make him a dumb mute). Not enough focus on Brian and Stewie where the real humour of the show lies, and as a result the whole thing kind of fails to really ignite. Not bad but not great and you too will proably be starting to doubt the wisdom of this purchase by the third disc.

SEASON 4 OF FAMILY GUY COMING TO TV,
By MMAfan (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family Guy: Volume Two (Season 3) (DVD)
Family Guy is one of the funniest shows ever. Being a fan of the Simpsons, ATHF, and Malcolm in the Middle(where is season 2 for MITM) this is great to own on dvd. Mostly what I came here to say is that FAMILY GUY SEASON 4 IS COMING TO TV IN JULY of 2005. THERE IS ALSO RUMOURS OF A FAMILY GUY MOVIE. YOU MIGHT ALREADY KNOW THIS BUT I JUST FOUND OUT.
