Blu-Ray Review: Hilarious ‘Laugh it Up, Fuzzball: The Family Guy Trilogy’
Submitted by BrianTT on December 23, 2010 - 2:18pm.CHICAGO – The opening crawl of “Family Guy: It’s a Trap!” jokingly suggests that the viewer should lower his expectations since the writers had totally run out of steam by this point and were pressured by Fox into doing a spoof of “Return of the Jedi” to close out their “Star Wars” trilogy, now released in one Blu-ray set known as “Laugh It Up, Fuzzball: The Family Guy Trilogy.”
DVD Review: New Volumes of ‘American Dad,’ ‘Family Guy’
Submitted by BrianTT on July 4, 2010 - 7:18pm.CHICAGO – Nearly thirty episodes of Sunday night FOX animated hits “American Dad!” and “Family Guy” were recently released on DVD in extras-packed volumes and we couldn’t let these excellent releases fly by without a brief review.

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Darkside’

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy’
Submitted by BrianTT on May 26, 2009 - 3:37pm.CHICAGO – Fans of “American Dad!” and “Family Guy” should definitely take a look at “Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy,” a Blu-Ray release of short animated films in the same style as the random, tangential asides that helped make Stewie Griffin a household name.
