Amazon.co.uk Review
Several seasons in, and the supreme animated comedy Family Guy continues to thrive. Furthermore, it’s a collection of episodes here that addresses the common complaint that shows of such endurance aren’t capable of hitting the heights any more. Because Family Guy certainly can.
You get 16 episodes for your money in the Family Guy Season 10 boxset, and there’s a strong leaning towards satiating the fans who have stuck with the show to date. That doesn’t mean that there’s no room for outsiders, as Family Guy is constantly accessible. Just that you’ll get extra goodness out of an episode such as Brian And Stewie, the 150th of the show, if you’ve watched most of it to date.
Even if you haven’t, though, Family Guy remains a masterclass in strong comedy writing. It’s genuinely laugh out loud funny, and the episodes are rich in rewatch value. The only downside is the slight muddle in the way the box sets are compiled, as this set actually pulls together episodes from across more than one season. Yet they’ve not been released on DVD in the UK before, so on the plus side, you’re not buying the same Family Guy instalments twice. Spend your money, therefore, with peace of mind.--Jon Foster
DVD Description
The show follows the adventures of lovable oaf Peter Griffin (Seth MacFarlane) and his hilariously odd family of middle-class New Englanders. Lois (Alex Borstein) is Peter’s loving wife, a former Miss Teen Rhode Island who rules the roost but is one step away from a nervous breakdown. Then there are their kids: frumpy 16-year-old Meg (Mila Kunis), the family’s punching bag; 13-year-old Chris (Seth Green), a kid who doesn’t understand girls, much less the evil monkey who recently emerged from his closet; and 1-year-old Stewie (MacFarlane), a diabolically clever baby whose burgeoning sexuality is very much a work in progress. Rounding out the Griffin household is Brian (MacFarlane), the family dog, a member of Mensa with a penchant for dry martinis and dumb blondes.
During the tenth season, the Griffins and fellow Quahog residents attend a party at James Woods’ mansion and are embroiled in a classic "whodunit” murder mystery. Meanwhile, Lois becomes a local sports hero, and Stewie works for Brian as his literary manager.

The one thing I don't like about the boxset is the false advertising that this is Season 10. Every true Family Guy fan knows that there are only 9 seasons, (Season 10 premieres on US TV on 25th September 2011). Rather than being called "Season 10" this boxset should be known as "Volume 10" as this is the 10th boxset.
To clarify, Seasons 1,2, and 3 are boxsets in their own right. The problem starts with Seaosn 4. There were so many episodes, they were all put on two boxsets known as Season 4 and Season 5 and that is when the complications start. The following seasons are broken up unevenly so when it comes to this boxser, rather than it being Season 10, you have the remaining 12 episodes of Season 8 and the first 3 episodes of Season 9 excluding Something, Something, Something, Dark Side but including the banned episode "Partial Terms of Endearment".
Apaprt from that, the episodes are great. Maybe the whole series is going a tiny bit stale which is to be expected after so long on TV but like all FG episodes, you get your hits and your misses. Either way, they're great for a cheeky, guilty laugh and how can you not love Stewie Griffin? :-)

Take out the first 2 seasons (My personal opinion is they're dull and boring. Which is expected as it's the beginning) From the 3rd season to the 9th, Family guy has left me in stitches 80% of the time. From peters stupid moments, moments where they needed to fill big gaps in an episode and threw conway twitty in there. All of it generally made me laugh. The best thing they did was make stewie more adorable than evil. And potentially gay, which is always a good laugh.
Then came this season, I watched the first 4 episode without so much of a giggle? I can't put my finger on it. Just seemed like they ran out of ideas, and the humour was aimed at kids rather than young adults / adults. The rest of the season is pretty much the same as the first 4 episodes, never really hits the heights of the previous family guy seasons.
Good news is season 11 sort of hits back. Much bigger improvement on the 10th but still lacking just a tad. I've also noticed the voice work has changed too? Peter sounds different, which is a bad thing.
These little things just ruin it for me a tad. Still a huge fan of family guy and i'm sure Seth will get it right in the future seasons. His film 'Ted' also looks hilarious and can't wait for his future work.
This season however. A let down. Im being generous with 3*
