The Wacky World of Family Guy's DVD releases

Today I looked at Family Guy's many home media releases across various formats (DVD, Blu Ray, VHS, PSP UMD) turns out there's like lots of them.
Family Guy is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane. It follows the Griffin family (Peter Griffin, Lois Griffin, Meg Griffin, Chris Griffin, Stewie Griffin & Brian Griffin) getting into wacky shenanigans

[@supersaiyanmikito]

I find it infinitely amusing that a "Best of" compilation happen to include an early release of one of the show's most universally hated episodes.

[@geuxmer2355]

That being?

[@jadedheartsz]

Interesting trivia about the Freakin Sweet Collection-it's so far the ONLY time the original uncut version of Road to Rhode Island was ever officially released(after 9/11 it was censored in reruns to remove a scene where Stewie gets his weapons past airport security by singing "Good Ship Lollipop" and then afterwards he remarks "let's hope Osama Bin Laden doesn't know showtunes" and then Bin Laden comes in singing "I Hope I get it" while smuggling his own weapons past security, that censored version was also included on the original Volume 1 release for whatever reason)

[@shilze1]

I swear I've seen it on TV before. If not then I've definitely still seen it on my copy of the DVDs because it's always jarring to see a family guy clip I haven't seen before.

[@SneakyGreninja]

​​@@shilze1I remember seeing that scene many times as well and this was over the years post-9/11

[@BaboDex]

Not really, the UK DVD "The Best of Family Guy" uses the same version as the Freakin Sweet collection one for that episode.

[@toonman6987]

I’ve seen the original version on Hulu

[@jadedheartsz]

@@BaboDex Ah did not know that, I was mainly thinking in terms of the U.S. releases as the censored version was the one featured on the season/volume DVDs over here and I don't recall that version ever being on streaming.

[@thefacelesseditor]

I recently started digitizing the series from DVD and rearranging the episodes into the correct order, so I've been thinking about this exact topic recently. Then this video comes out.

[@marvelfan_dcfan]

I miss family guy dvds it was the only way to watch the show uncensored

[@shofan0456]

It sounds like common knowledge but I legitimately had no idea the first season was only 7 EPISODES. That's mental to me because it felt like there was like at least 20 growing up!

[@skeletonbuyingpealts7134]

Ah, Family Guy DVDs. Gotta love how none of the episodes depicted on the cover art are ever included

[@JasontheCartoonFan]

The UK season 1 DVD contained Family Guy’s entire first season in production order. The first seven episodes of season 2 were actually produced as part of season 1, but split into being part of season 2 for broadcast to bring the latter season to the television broadcast season standard of approximately 20-26 episodes. The Freakin’ Sweet Collection actually consisted of Seth’s five personal favorite Family Guy episodes from the show’s original run.

[@BaboDex]

The Season 1 DVD has all the episodes with Lacey Chabert as Meg. So it’s mostly all the season 1 production episodes, excluding one, "There’s Something About Paulie", which had Mila Kunis as Meg. That’s why that episode is on the Season 2 DVD.

[@TeeGee3]

My best memory with family guy home releases was with the Star Wars a New Hope parody that came out on the PlayStation Portable. Got super stoned one night and watched it, I remember losing my mind laughing at Herbert’s dance scene. Those were the good ol’ days, even though it happened 6 months ago.

[@ddd1234ify]

Lmfaooooo

[@mrmusickhimself]

My Custom Firmware PSP got me through some rough times. I remember watching full mp4 movies on it, KZbin before Smartphones etc.....I LOVED that system.

[@ddd1234ify]

@@mrmusickhimself felt like such a luxury to access KZbin on some sort of weird fucked up mobile browser lol

[@hommeboy]

Why not just call it PSP

[@mrmusickhimself]

@@hommeboy ....Who cares? Let the guy call it what he wants.

[@dannigro8794]

I remember buying the original DVDs in 2003 when I was around 14 because remember without watching it on TV that’s the only way that you could see these episodes because there was no streaming. And then I bought the freaking sweet collection a year later because that was the only way I could see the American dad trailer and other special features that you couldn’t see online because there was no KZbin. With streaming nowadays, you can watch anything and people take that for granted. I think I got all the season sets up to season 15 and then I just stopped because I had Hulu at that point. I’m from the US and I didn’t know how many other extra DVDs were released another regions, but I’m not surprised.

[@frabrezial]

12:20 crazy how much nostalgia i’m feeling just by looking at a dvd

[@Baconcat1964]

Been loving this series of videos. Hope to see maybe a futurama vid. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@RockerMicke1]

Or king of the hill

[@Dynastone]

Merry Christmas, Peter best bits, Blue Harvest UMD and Season 1 Disc 2 or 3 UMD were all rated 12 and were the only family guy media I could watch when I was younger, I've rewatched those dvds so many times. Blue harvest dvd got a 15 for the special features which the UMD didn't have.

[@Channeleven2345789]

I owned the Freakin' Sweet Collection on DVD, remember playing it on my PS2 years ago. Also owned the UMD release, got it with a bundle that included the game Daxter, with a silver PSP with a higher capacity memory stick.

[@LiamFitzpatrick-j7d]

i got so pissed off when i bought a family guy dvd from cex and it wasnt the entirety of season 4

[@marvelfan_dcfan]

You have to get volumes 3 4 and stewie the untold story to have all of season 4

[@christianlorre]

The best joke in the anniversary book is Seth says "Family Guy was cancelled for the last time in 2001 which all historians agree was the worst thing to happen to the world that year".

[@grinkobaba9226]

Why am I about to put this on to clean my room

[@neilhannan7525]

I missed Family Guy parody of STAR WARS and how Fun George Lucas was with making fun of himself or his work i hated they never did a parody of Prequels or Sequels but i guess Disney would hate that because they can't take a joke that the favourite type of joke when a celebrity mades a joke about himself or work ❤

[@microfighterz]

They’d rather just do Simpson shorts that are just “I love corporation”core schlock.

[@neilhannan7525]

@microfighterz FOX allowed their own shows like Family Guy the Simpsons and Futurama they were allowed to make fun of their network but watching Disney Plus Simpsons anniversary short and Bart as Micky and Mel saying: I can't believe your getting away with this. And I was thinking the writers had a gun to their head and Disney said made a funny joke about us but don't make a joke about the Disney Corporation

[@AfterBurnerTeirusu128]

The PAL speedup on the EU season 4 box was so terrible, I gave up buying FG on dvd back in the day lol.

[@nomoreselfie399]

i remember my mom sneaking me my PSP with the family guy disc in it when my stepdad would take away my TV. they were awesome.

[@Brenc623]

Family Guy belongs on Adult Swim

[@TanteiRotana]

in this society only the truely wealthy can afford both the cool box & pingpongpoker set

[@ouroborosproductions]

interesting fact the USA dvd of season 14 has a variant cover based on the episode Peternornal Activity only saw it at walmart my guess to the change is they thought the new art looked more appealing had the same menus tho

[@65mcman]

Adult swim in Canada never stopped airing family guy

[@RyanMcKennaGosling]

Same with American Dad, King of the Hill and Bob's Burgers.

[@jameschapman3737]

Great episode! Just an addendum. The Something Something Dark Side DVD had a special edition release like Blue Harvest which included a T-shirt and cards. Annoyingly, It's a Trap ALSO had a special edition with similar bonuses but only in Australia which is annoying if you fancied conpleting the collection! I believe the Seasons 1-16 collection were also split up. Available separately (and the only the same according to Amazon) but there is a Season 11-16 set.

[@ragsdale710]

I bought all those when they came out on blu ray with the t shirts 😊

[@Dangerzone334ArchiveOfficial]

Ah, the first Family Guy DVD I remember having! Stewie Griffith the Untold Story!

[@scootszilla]

my dad had a majority of these and i remember the volume / season naming deal confusing the shit out of me as a kid lol

[@HomeCinemaEnthusiast]

Great upload , I’m binge watching family guy at the moment.

I’d love to watch a SpongeBob home media releases

[@tobykassulke2385]

The season dvd releases confused the hell out of me when i looked up the actual seasons on disney+.

[@EpicLazor101]

These videos are super interesting! The way they did the seasons is super dumb tho lol. Any plans to do American Dad!'s DVD releases in the future?

[@DigiRangerScott]

Season 5 might be significantly shorter than the (supersized even for 2005&6) 30 episode season 4, but at least they average out to the more regular 24 episodes

[@fox-paws]

When it comes to top episodes Im not sure what I'd have chosen for top ten but Da Boom has always been my favorite.

[@aboxmanforeal]

Love your content! Please do SpongeBob next, the history is very interesting.

[@behelit1997]

He actually did it... I saw a comment on the Simpsons video and someone actually did it... I can't believe it, I can't believe my eyes! This can't be!

[@christhophercruzflores]

I wish they continued putting the other saison on dvd we need uncensored content

[@Rue-Co]

The world would be a much better place if we just had actual season releases😔

[@XYGamingRemedyG]

This is almost infuriating if you bought them each time near the end. So much seasons 1 - 10 copies. And that one that kept getting thrown in each new release.

[@emilypearson3474]

The roles of Leia, Juliet, Virgin Mary and Cinderella belong to Meg in my opinion.

[@andrewoliver7095]

Holy crap, Lois, it's Oscar Byrne from Our Stupid School!

[@theaidandohertychannel268]

are you going to talk about American Dad or Futurama in your Next DVD review?

[@venomousrage162]

There’s one more (kind of). The HMV exclusive “The Best of Seth Macfarlane” sampler DVD

They really milked those boxsets unnecessarily. The amount of wasted material used for those DVDs that contain only 3 episodes is sad.
