Volume Eight has episodes from season seven and season eight of Family Guy. As many may know, the first "season" of Family Guy was just seven episodes and season six was only twelve episodes. So, as the DVD released came out, they released volumes that had episodes from multiple seasons. For some reason instead of just releasing seasons one and two on a single set and then releasing the show season by season, they kept, up until season 13, releasing the DVDs in volumes that would have the final episodes of one season and the early and middle episodes of the next. It does not really detract from the show itself as it has always mostly been a story of the week kind of show that you do not need to remember much from prior shows to get what is going on in a particular episode.
The DVD extras are pretty similar to what has been released for the prior volumes. There are commentary tracks on most of the episodes, mainly with the writers and producers, but they occasionally include members of the cast. There are a bunch of deleted scenes, a featurette on the road to the multiverse episode in which Brian and Stewie enter different universes, including the Robot Chicken universe. There are also a bunch of Family Guy Karaoke musical numbers.
By now, anyone reading this likely knows what the show is and knows if they like the humor. It can definitely be offensive and makes jokes about nearly everything. I do not think that the show was as good by this time as it was in the first couple of seasons, but that said it still has some very funny moments, so if you are a fan, the set is definitely worth picking up.
