Forgive me for the awful pun of a title, but that's the worst humour you'll be witness to from now until you've finished watching this boxset. I bought this boxset mainly because I couldn't bear having to wait until near midnight to watch episodes on BBC3, worth every penny.
Although fixed on an already worn thin FOX animation formula of an American family there are qualities that set it apart in terms of quality. Episodes have good narrative and plot devices, an actual story! Not a Family Guy-esque series of cut-aways which has lost its sparkle recently. Although the Dad 'Stan' has his 'doh' moments, he's actually a hilarious, intelligent CIA agent, and a breath of fresh air from the class A morons of Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin. Francine his wife is actually interesting and is well developed as a persona on the show. Roger the Alien is pure genius, has just the amount of screen time that makes him brilliant with his pop-culture references and disguises.
I wont delve into the other characters because you can just wikipedia all of this, all YOU want to know is:
Is this show funny? YES
Is it worth the money? YES
Is it full of extras? YES
Has it got subtitles/range of audio options? YES
Is this good for some chilled out on the sofa light entertainment? YES
So buy it, enjoy, love it.....or just get a refund or sell it on, not for everyone I guess.
