Movie Reviews of The Family Guy: Volume One (Seasons 1-2)Movie Review: He's a FAMILY GUY! Summary: 5 Stars
OK now, I got this DVD along with Vol.2 and the truth is that this DVD I'm a DIE-HARD fan of "Family Guy" and I watch ten episodes a day, belive it or not, and I think it is the best animated comedy that ever aired on T.V. If you love "Family Guy" as much as I do, then this DVD is a must. I will tell you why:
Season 1 (seven episodes)
1.- "Death has a Shadow"
Peter get fired from his job: "Happy Go Lucky" and recives a walfare check for $150,000. Later his wife, Lois, gets mad at him for lying and Peter decides to return the money to taxpayers on a "Superbowl". Hilarious episode and a great debut for this show. - 9/10.
2.- "I Never Met the Dead Man"
After Peter knocks out the local cable T.V. satellite by crashing his car into it, he starts apreciating life and drives his family crazy on spending more time with them with them with no television. Great episode, I loved it. - 9/10.
3.- "Chitty Chitty Death Bang"
Lois throws Stewie's first birthday party in "Cheesie Charlie's and Peter accidentaly cancels the reservation so he will have to throw a party by himselfe. Meanwhile, Meg meets a new friend and is invited to a party the same day as Stewie's birthday, to make it worse the it was no party, it was a cult meeting. Great episode I liked it. - 9/10.
4.- "Mind Over Murder"
When Peter punches a woman he thought she was a man, he gets house arrested and to spend more time with his friends he builts a bar in his basement but turns out his friends come, not see Peter, but Lois singing. Not much of a fan of this episode but it was great overall. - 7/10.
5.- "A Hero Sits Next Door"
This episode is when Peter meets his next door neighbor wheelchaired cop, Joe, who one-ups him in a baseball game and Peter get extremeley annoyed by him, he tries to prove his is a hero too. It is a hilarious episode which I love. - 10/10.

When Chris get kicked out of the boy scouts Peter tries to let him re-enter, he makes a wrong turn to New York and to a "Cassino" where Lois becomes a slot machine addict and bets their car and Peter tries to get it back lying about he being an indian, so he mus have a "vision". I wasn't really that crazy about this one but it was funny. - 8/10.
7.- "Brian: Portait of a Dog"
Brian gets upset with Peter because he took all of his "diginty" and they fight until Brian runs away and the consecuences turn brutal: Brian get a death roy at the pound. This episode is one of my favorites. - 10/10.

I'm sure most of you have heard the rumors about the year 2000, tha all machines will stop working and it will be the end of the world, right? It turns out to be a lie, but not in this episode: when the disaster occurs the Griffins apear to be safe and they are obligated to make an new city: "New Quahog" and Peter begins to found the city and some big troubles. This is a great one, I loved it. - 10/10.
