The Bottom Line

The third, and final, season of "Family Guy" is as rudely sublime as the first two. This boxed set of DVDs has enough features to appease avid fans and please newbies alike.

Guide Review - "Family Guy" Vol. 2 DVD

Fox must have read my last review in which I pined for the unaired episode. Now it is included on "Family Guy" Vol. 2! But Fox must not have paid much attention when I requested (as I always do) commentary for every episode. The show isn't on the air anymore, so what else does Seth MacFarlane have to do? Pull up a mic and get talkin'.

Other than those minor gripes, this DVD set will please avid fans looking for some production content, and newbies looking to familiarize themselves with the third season.
