Family Guy Volume 1(seasons 1 and 2) on DVD
Life after Death on DVD

Don't worry avid readers of my reviews(all two of you) I have not forgotten you! Now my review for one of the true lost gems of television history. Family Guy was a very controversial show ever since it debuted during superbowl '99. It made many upset so naturally I was drawn to it. I remember these episodes very fondly because I saw most of them when they first aired. So in a way I was Family Guy before Family Guy was cool. Anyway that is beside the point, now to the actual review. In this show the pure bliss of how random this show can be is just great. When this show can take a serious topic such as welfare and make it funny that is when you know a show has struck gold. However many people didn't get this show and it just wasn’t pc enough for people to really get into. For Family Guy though there is life after death in it has found its audience. After being cancelled in 2002 it found a new life on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line up and on DVD. The DVD set itself is great if not lacking in the special features department though. The featurette was good but some of the commentary was good however this is not for kids to listen too as the warning on each disc clearly states. The true reason to get this is for the show itself. The show is great and the characters are memorable. My favorite being Stewie the evil genius one year old that wants to kill Lois, his mother. The other siblings are drama queen teen Meg and Clueless brother Chris. Peter is the moron dad and makes Homer Simpson look like a genius. The show is a great gem of pop culture and it should have never been cancelled but it is but there is life after death. great show nuff said.
