DVD/TV Series Review: Family Guy Volume 7

 

Volume seven of Family guy again includes episodes from two different seasons, the final handful of season six episodes, and nine of the season seven episodes. The episodes play with uncensored audio tracks, which basically means f-bombs are not bleeped out, but you can also watch the censored broadcast versions from the disc menu. By now the show has been around long enough that if you are reading this you know if you like it or not. I will not spend a ton of time on reviewing the episodes, just to say that they pretty much just follow the story (or stories) of the week format that the show is known for. There are not really any episodes in this set that I would consider all that noteworthy, but the final episode of the disc did a riff on OJ Simpson (this was around the time of his Las Vegas arrest) in which Peter cashes in a raffle ticket in which he won a golf outing with Simpson.

As far as DVD extras go, each episode has a commentary track and there are deleted scenes for most of the episodes. There are animatic versions of three episodes that also have commentary tracks, and then four featurettes, including a portion of the 2008 comic-con panel.

Ultimately, Family Guy is a show that people tend to love or hate. If you love the show you will probably like this set, even if you do not like (or love) it as much as you did earlier seasons. On the other hand, if you have never liked the show, you are probably not going to change your mind because of anything on this DVD.
