Family Guy - The Freakin' Sweet Collection Featuring 5 hand picked episodes by series creator Seth McFarlane (When You Wish Upon a Weinstein, Road to Rhode Island, To Love and Die in Dixie, I Am Peter Hear Me Roar, Lethal Weapons) this DVD offers plenty of laughs. I find it semi-unnecessary due to the fact that all the episodes are available in the box sets. Although Road to Rhode Island is an original restored/uncensored episode never before available on DVD, it just doesn't make this DVD worth it for casual fans. Final Verdict: 5/5 Rent or Buy?: Don't get me wrong, this DVD is Freakin' Sweet, but unless you're looking to collect all the Family Guy DVDS ever made you can get away with renting this one. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.Read full review
The show that FOX Network deemed too outspoken and brash for prime time, and which it ultimately dropped from its roster, has since experienced record DVD sales and become the most-watched show ever aired on the Cartoon Network. Among many other distinctions, the animated family series goes where even THE SIMPSONS fears to tread, with its bumbling oaf of a father, outcast teenage daughter, beefy blockhead son, urbane alcoholic dog, and murderous baby with plans for world domination. This collection features five episodes handpicked by creator Seth MacFarlane, which comprise his personal favorites: "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," "Road to Rhode Island," "To Live and Die in Dixie," "I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar, and "Lethal Weapons."
This was a great deal. I surprised my niece with this collector's set for Christmas & the pictures & video taken of her when she first realized what it was, was just precious! She had to do a double take & then she asked me' Are you serious?"..I think she thought it was just a box I got from somewhere & it wasn't really what it said it was. I know I got value for my money because I did shop around. TV series do cost some big $ sometimes & so I feel I got a great deal getting this for her. She absolutely loves this & watches every day. No complaints at all from here. She says it is a "Freakin Sweet deal!"
Some of it is really of no interest, some of it isn't. With "American Dad" out on TV with many episodes shown, the segment of the DVD that gives you insight into that show is really obsolete. I suppose some of the interviews might be interesing for looking for more insight on Seth MacFarlane, or for those who have never seen the man behind the show. The interview about Family Guy Season 4 is interesting in retrospect, I suppose. The restored "Road To Rhode Island" doesn't really make it worth it. It's just the one deleted segment, and it really isn't funny. I notice the first review says "true fans have to have this scene," frankly, I think that's ridiculous and pedantic. If by "true" fans, you mean insanely obsessed, then I guess you'd be correct. It's not really offensive, but it doesn't add anything to the episode (which is a good one). Now, it sounds like my review is completely negative. Why is this worth it? Well, let me be honest. I love the commentaries on Futurama. I think they're among the best commentaries I've ever heard, and they just add to the rewatch value of the episodes. But a lot of Family Guy commentaries have been... just... blah. Maybe it's because they choose mediocre episodes to do commentaries on "Ready, Willing, and Disabled," "Death Lives," "Holy Crap," etc. But the commentaries on here really make this DVD worth it, I think. The commentary for "Rhode To Road Island" - I like it, it's great, it's hilarious, you should hear it. It's already one of my favorite episodes, this just made it better. The "To Love and Die In Dixie" commentary was okay, nothing special. But two episodes I'd always wished they had done commentaries on but didn't - "I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar" and "Lethal Weapons" - they finally did here! Excellent! In particular I thought the "I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar" commentary was one of the best they've done. There's nothing new with the "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein" from the Season 3 DVD. In conclusion, the new commentaries make it worth your while to check this DVD out. As for plunking down the money, I could see Family Guy fanatics doing that, easily, I'm not so sure the casual fan will think this is worth the investment. It's definitely worth a video store rental though, absolutely.Read full review
They had some scratches on it but it's a good movie
