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

 Funnier and More Inventive than any Sitcom November 16, 2008
G. J. Oxley (Tyne & Wear, England)

This latest offering from the 'Family Guy' team finds the writers and producers doing their best to be more outrageous than ever before. No celebrity is too big to ridicule and absolutely NO topic is considered too taboo. If this featured real live human beings they would NEVER get away with half of this.
But the acid test is this: when being profane and attacking and offending every minority group in existence, is it actually funny? The short answer is `yes'. This is not merely funny, it is very funny indeed. Rosie O'Donnell features in one particularly insulting sequence, and when Joe has a leg transplant and becomes his old active self, the guys decide the only way to fix things is to `re-cripple him again'.
This is quite literally the most non-PC programme ever put on your TV screen, but it contains more invention and (frequently hilarious) jokes per minute than any sitcom.
Highlights are two numerous to mention, but I particularly enjoyed the sofa at Quagmire's shack (watch it and tell me it isn't superb!), and Peter's stripper-cop routine at his daughter Meg's hen night.
Sad to think that `The Simpson' was once written with this kind of genius. How the mighty have fallen...
Only downside is the first two episodes were put out separately as the `Star Wars' spoof `Blue Harvest', so this pack is a little light at only 12 episodes (including the double 100th episode, split into two). But no matter, I'd happily lay out cash for something this good any day of the week.

I love family guy,and I love the box set, but I got three discs, one is season 7 part 1, and two copies of season 7 part two. Did this happen to anyone else?
 Bit dissapointing? November 14, 2008

First of all, I love previous seasons. But this one is dissapointing. There was definitely too much too long and overdone gags and sometimes just awkward moments. Bit of a let down, really. Not to mention a rip-off. Twelve episodes + not so special extras? Come on..
Why no Blue Harvest? November 13, 2008

Excellent animated comedy, but I agree with others that are disappointed that this doesn't include Blue Harvest, I didn't buy Blue Harvest when it was released because I was expecting it to be on this latest release. I also hate that they call these seasons when they're really part of one and part of another etc. If they called these volumes fair enough, do they think these won't sell as well or something if they call them volumes? Anyway, this is still an essential addition for family guy fans, but I'm going to take a star off for not including Blue Harvest in this boxset.
Give Us More Episodes!!! November 13, 2008

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.
