DVD Reviews of Family Guy, Vol. 7
DVD Review: "Mummy, daddy, Chris, dog, Brian, they're home!"---Stewie
Summary: 3 Stars
The episodes in this volume of FG are much weaker than the ones in the last DVD volume which is one of my favorites. The one saving grace is that there are a lot of episodes featuring Brian who is my favorite FG character. For those who don't like Brian, this volume will probably have little to offer except for a sneak peek of the new series The Cleveland Show at the beginning of disc 2. The best eps in this volume are "Play It Again, Brian," "Baby Not On Board," "The Man With Two Brians," and "Family Gay." There are four or five really bad ones on here as well, though.
Disc 1:
"Back to the Woods"--Peter loses his wallet at a Barry Manilow concert and his credit card--as well as his identity and home--is stolen by James Woods. What is the animation fascination with James Woods (The Simpsons and Family Guy twice)? Terrible episode with same ending with the overused crate in the warehouse scene. Highlight: Brian chasing the squirrel around the pole.
"Play It Again, Brian"--Brian wins an essay contest and is invited to Martha's Vineyard for the awards ceremony where he tries to take advantage of Peter's lack of consideration to make his intentions known to Lois. Hilarious. Peter's note about watching Three's Company and the look on Herbert's face as he's being scrubbed in the bathtub by Meg brought tears to my eyes.
"The Former Life of Brian"--When Brian contacts an old girlfriend he finds out he fathered a son who is now a teenaged hoodlum. When they discover they have something in common (well, weed), Brian accepts his son and turns his life around.
"Long John Peter"--Peter steals a parrot from the vet and plays pirate. Meanwhile, Chris falls for the vet's receptionist but gets bad advice from Peter. I like how he hits Brian with a chair to get an excuse to see her.
"Love Blactually"--Brian finds the perfect girl but Stewie convinces him to go slow and she ends up cheating on him with Cleveland.
Disc 2:
"I Dream of Jesus"--Yikes! Maybe the worst FG ever (at least bottom 5). Peter's obsession with "Surfin' Bird" drives the family (and probably most of the viewers) crazy. Oh, and Jesus makes a comeback.
"Road to Germany"--Almost as bad as the previous episode. Mort walks into Stewie's time machine and ends up in Poland right before the Nazis invade. Stewie and Brian follow him to bring him back to the present.
"Baby Not On Board"--The Griffins go on a road trip and inadvertently leave Stewie home alone. A lot of good lines and moments in this one.
"The Man With Two Brians"--A Jack*ss stunt exposes Brian's age so Peter gets a new dog who the family loves, except Stewie. Another good one.
"Tales of a Third Grade Nothing"--Peter stumbles upon the executive washroom and is motivated to get promoted but must complete the third grade first to qualify (uh....yeah). Meanwhile, Brian and Frank Sinatra Jr. buy the Cabana Club and Stewie turns it into the coolest club in Quahog. Funny episode but crazy.
"Oceans Three and a Half"--Bonnie finally gives birth and Joe has to borrow from a loan shark to pay the hospital bills so the gang conspires to steal from Mr. Pewterschmidt. Meanwhile, Stewie falls in love with Joe's new baby.
Disc 3:
"Family Gay"--Peter buys a mentally challenged horse and to pay for the damages it causes, he takes a job undergoing scientific experiments including isolating the gay gene. Has two of my favorite subjects in it.
"The Juice Is Loose!"--Peter hangs out with OJ Simpson who turns out to be a nice guy...maybe.
Extras include deleted scenes, a featurette on the music used in "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing" with interviews with Frank Sinatra Jr. which, if you like crooner music, you will find very interesting (I don't, so I only found it moderately so), script talk-through at Comic Com 2008, FG art show.
Description of Family Guy, Vol. 7
You'd have to be freakin' crazy to miss out on the superb seventh volume of Family Guy! Loaded with laughs, these 13 hilarious episodes continue the outrageous adventures of Peter, Lois, Chris, Brian, baby Stewie and what's her name. Victory is yours!Like John Waters' shock-value comedies of yore, Family Guy keeps moving the taste-be-damned line. "You laughed at that?" these episodes spanning seasons six and seven challenge viewers. "Okay, then laugh at this!" AIDS, cancer, incest, September 11, and the films of Matthew McConaughey are all grist for the mill. Though it has taken its lumps from the South Park contingent, Family Guy merrily stays true to its absurdist, arbitrary muse. The stories are ludicrous: James Woods steals Peter Griffin's identity; Brian discovers he has a son; Stewie, Brian, and nebbish pharmacist Mort time travel back in time to Hitler's Germany; and Peter discovers Jesus Christ working at a used record store. You got a problem with that? "Go on the Internet and complain," Brian suggests. The pop-culture references are as ever arcane. "That's more of a letdown than Fruit Stripe gum," Peter remarks at one point. And the politically incorrect jokes can be jaw-droppingly wrong, as witness the game show Are You Smarter Than a Hispanic Maid, the flamboyant gay stereotypes flaunted in the episode "Family Gay," and a bit in which hearing-impaired actress Marlee Matlin tries unsuccessfully to connect with Moviefone. And how does a series on Fox get away with the moment when Stewie finds a McCain/Palin campaign button on a Nazi uniform? From Dane Cook to Jay Leno, Family Guy is always up for celebrity bashing, but some are in on the joke. In "Family Gay," Meredith Baxter spoofs her signature women-in-crisis Lifetime movies, and Seth Rogen good-naturedly supplies his own voice when Peter is injected with the Seth Rogen gene that "gives you the appearance of being funny even though you haven't actually done anything funny." And kudos to Andy Dick for his room-clearing cameo in "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing."
Each episode can be viewed as originally televised or uncensored with F-bombs and other crudities unbleeped. Curiously missing in action from "Ocean's Three and a Half" is one of Family Guy's most inspired bits in which Peter's voice is mixed in to the now-infamous Christian Bale rant tape (you can find it on YouTube). Loyal Family Guy viewers are also rewarded with deleted scenes, lively episode commentaries, an entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the episode "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing," featuring Frank Sinatra Jr., and the Family Guy 2008 Comic-Con panel discussion. Family Guy, observes Mr. Sinatra, "is not comedy. It's satire." What it is, still, is way more often than not flat-out funny. --Donald Liebenson
