Review

The second series of Seth MacFarlane's animated sitcom Family Guy continues with its own brand of acerbic pop-culture satire mixed with gleefully tasteless comedy. Even though the chaotic Griffin household bears more than a passing resemblance to The Simpsons, and their neighbours are uncannily like those from King of the Hill, the show's combination of extended flashbacks, surreal fantasy sequences and delightful non sequiturs ("Math, my dear boy, is nothing more than the lesbian sister of biology") refreshes the familiar formula. And any show that features Adam "Batman" West guest starring as the demented Mayor of Quahog must score points for bizarre originality.

Highlights of the 15 episodes here include Peter discovering his feminine side ("I Am Peter, Here Me Roar"), Stewie and Brian on an eventful road trip ("Road to Rhode Island"), Peter annexing his neighbour's pool and inviting the world's dictators round for a barbeque ("E Peterbus Unum") and, as a bonus episode, the irreverent "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein", which was deemed "too offensive for TV". It may be lowbrow scatological farce, but unlike its big-screen live-action cousins (think Farrelly Brothers), Family Guy is always warm-hearted and never vicious.

On the DVD:Family Guy, Series 2 is spread across two discs that boast Dolby 5.1 sound but standard 4:3 picture. There's no "Play All" facility (something else this release has in common with The Simpsons on DVD) and there are no extras other than the "bonus" episode. --Mark Walker

definatley worth watching
Family Guy Season 2 is definatley worth watching, there were a few flaws in season 1 as it was a fairly new comedy but in season 2 they have ironed out the flaws and the jokes have really started to work. Some episodes are just based on one character which really let the character shine and you as the viewer got a better insight into there life. There is some brillint episodes on the two disks but the very best is "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein".

Incredible. perfect
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!

Very funny stuff
This season two box set of the brilliant Family Guy contains a further fifteen episodes, all of which are brilliantly funny and very well written. While I do feel that these relatively early episodes of the show are not as outrageously funny as some of the later episodes of the shows run I do feel that the episodes here are more consistently funny with there being fewer cringe worthy episodes as there are in later series as well.

The animation is still a bit rough in places but this doesn't detract from the show at all and the writing is brilliant throughout. My personal favourite episode in this set is the brilliant `Wasted Talent' which has a brilliant parody of `Charley and the Chocolate Factory' but, as I have already said, all the episodes presented here are brilliant without a duff episode among them. If you like `Family Guy' then you should love this second season box set.
