Family Guy Season 8
It's amazing that a cancelled cartoon series has become so popular and
since its return to TV, Family Guy has become bigger and better. Move
over Simpsons and move over South Park because Family Guy not only uses
innuendo and anecdotes to tell its humourous stories but also uses some
great pop culture references that will you have in stitches.
Season 8 of
Family Guy on DVD collects all 13 episodes into one easily accessible
collection that contains some great Family Guy moments. For the
uninitiated, Family Guy revolves around the Griffin family that include
dad Peter, mother Lois, daughter Meg, son Chris, Stewie, their baby and
finally Brian, their talking dog who has a massive crush with Lois.
Add
in a variety of supporting cast members such as the sleezeball Quagmire
or stereotypical and clichéd African American Cleveland and Family Guy is truly a
politically incorrect series that is really needed in this climate of
over the top politically correctness.
At it's core, it's witty, it's
crass and it's extremely clever which is obvious why this series has
become so popular. The best part of season 8 of Family Guy is that all
episodes are quite entertaining, however the standout episodes for me
include episode 6 "I Love Jesus" which has Peter Griffin singing the
1963 "hit" Surfin Bird throughout the entire episode.
"Road to Germany"
is another fun episode that has Stewie the baby (he is a genius) going
back into time and ending up in Nazi Germany for some truly hilarious
anecdotes. Classic stuff!
Once you have finished the series, there
are some fun special
features that include commentaries on every episode (highly recommended
to watch), deleted scenes and some interesting featurettes that include
footage from the 2008 Comic Con which is a fun experience.
In
conclusion, Family Guy
just keeps betting better and better and this is one series that we
could recommend to those lovers of crude, clever and at times
politically incorrect humour.
Brilliantly funny and easily worth it to
see episode 12, "Family Gay".
