Family Guy - Season 3 [DVD] [1999]

I have to admit, after my borderline obsession with the first two seasons of this classic animated comedy (you may argue 'classic', but in my eyes, this will definitely be one), I couldn't really see how a third season could follow suit.However, I was to be blown over by how much more it had matured (in an immature way of course!) as a comedy.It has an incredible number of episodes on there, all as strong as each other. You never feel you want to skip episodes on this DVD either, as I find I often do with other seasons of comedy.It is far riskier than the other 2 seasons and I feel it would be amazingly popular if they aired it on Channel 4 instead of South Park.The package as a whole is great - you have three disks which come, for the first time, in a box. It may seem a shame there were no special features or limited edition box set gimmicks, but the comedy itself makes up for all of that and truly makes you realise it doesn't need all the frills to make it what it is.My only sadness is that more people will start latching on to Family Guy as it is all too late, with no more seasons being made. That in itself is a fantastic excuse to buy this DVD box set - it's side splittingly funny, inexpensive and most importantly really great to share with people that have never even heard of it before. So far, a friend of mine has created 22 new Family Guy fans. I am just one of them.

There is no need to hang around and try persuade you purchase this wonderful DVD. Just go click and get it.This is a great mix of the Simpsons, King of the Hill with atouch of South Park rolled into one.Peter is just funny....stupid like Homer but more accute..if that makes sense. Louis is a great wife and even better supporting act of her hubby Peter.Chris is the son who has his moments and Meg is the daughter and sadly the poorer charcter (like Lisa in the Simpsons).There is a love/hate relationship shared between Brian the dog and Stweie the baby. These two are probably the best charcters of all with their adult comedy making every second of this DVD a joy.Sit back and get ready for a rib-tickling ride...with hilarious flashbacks and fantastic stories. Fox needs to wake up and make another series....and be quick about it.Best moment: Has to be little Stewie picking up his toy phone and ordering: "Operator! Get me the Pentagon".

This season is amazing, like all the others. Seth MacFarlane is a complete genius, i love this way this show takes the mick out of every day things, people, all kinds of stuff - and slaps them all together into a very witty and well animated cartoon. some people are very shallow and don't understand the humor, usually boring unimaginative people. if you have a sensor of humor and you want to be entertained, this is definitely worth watching. if your thinking about buying it........ buy it!

I bought this DVD as I have found the early seasons of Family Guy are not that easy to come by anymore.Seth McFarlane's early work of Family Guy doesn't let you down. There are scenes on the DVD that don't get shown on TV which is why I bought it. There is a library selection on the DVD so you can watch each episode but there isn't a 'play all' function.

Ladies and gentlemen dim your lights, close the curtians and buy pletty of stacks because if you buy this you will NOT be leaving your living room for days. This is one of the best Tv series ever and now it is back for the third and most hilliarious series ever! Family guy season 3 is the best buy i have made all year and is so funny you will watch it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and well you get the point. BUY IT NOW OR I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!!!!!!!!

bought this a fan of Family Guy the entire 3 series on DVD is a good thing so many good episodes and loads of extras through the DVD menu well recommended

Why you ask? Well, while the simpsons is grounded in (close) reality, Family Guy is surreal, and isn't afraid to do things that would never happen. an example: In one episode, a man dressed as a chicken gives peter a coupon, and Peter refuses saying he learned his lesson from last time. He then has a flashback with a five minute segment featuring him battiling a chicken on top of trucks, holding onto a helecopter, and crashing into an office building, where he slams the top of a copier machine into the chicken's head, and walks out of the hole they created saying only "Chicken...Gave me a bad coupon"The show was apparently too controversial and was canceled, which is a shame because the show had huge potential. Everyone show see at least one episode of Family Guy before they die.This is a must own DVD set.

If you've seen Family Guy on TV, *buy this DVD*: Sky have made numerous cuts to enable it to fit into the same (kiddy) slot as the Simpsons, but this show is funnier, darker and definitely not for the kids. If you like the less obvious swipes at popular culture, current affairs and modern-day life that the Simpsons once did so well but think South Park (though often funny) can be a bit too obvious with its jokes, then Family guy is the comedy for you.Yes, on first glance it appears very derivative but the humour is original. Stewie Griffin's lines are quotable ad nauseam and although I find some of the references a bit obscure, it doesn't take much to find out their source. Source material for the jokes include everything from Battlestar Galactica through Pac Man to Peanuts (with an impliation that Marcie and Patty are lesbian lovers). Classic!
