Amazon.co.uk Review
The third season of Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy finds television's most dysfunctional cartoon family even more animated than usual. As MacFarlane himself noted, he was inspired to go for broke, thinking that the series--already juggled like a hot potato in the US TV schedules (at one point, it aired opposite the mighty Friends)--had been cancelled. Just as This Is Spinal Tap walked the fine line between "clever and stupid", so Family Guy gleefully mocks the line between "edgy and offensive".
Like The Simpsons, Family Guy lends itself to multiple viewings to catch each densely packed episode's way-inside "one-percenter" gags (so-called by the creators because that is the percentage of the audience who will get them), scattershot pop-culture references, surreal leaps and gratuitous pot shots at everyone from, predictably, Oprah, Kevin Costner and Bill Cosby to, unpredictably, Rita Rudner. Also like its Springfield counterpart, this series benefits from a great ensemble voice cast, with surprising contributions from a no-less-stellar roster of guest stars. --Donald Liebenson

So what's new with the Griffin family? Well, Brian has become addicted to cocaine - not ideal for a newly trained sniffer dog, Stewie's plot to take over the world is foiled by Bill Cosby and Peter is shocked to discover that his teenage son Chris has a bigger weiner than he does! Family Guy Season Three contains 21 lewd and crude episodes across 3 discs including Screwed the Pooch, Brian Does Hollywood, Ready, Willing and Disabled and Family Guy Viewer Mail #1 - a special episode in which Brian reads out viewer mail and does his best to answer their questions.

Family Guy, politically incorrect, twisted, and just one of those things you have to own. If you haven't seen Family Guy before, then buy this, or one of the other series, you won't regret it.
Series three is properly my favourite series, with great episodes such as Death Lives, and Road to Europe. It's one of those programs that you can just sit back and watch, and know you'll be laughing from beginning to end.
The program reminds me of how great the Simpsons once was, this is fresh original, and frankly just fantastic.

This has got to be one of the best comedies of all time!
The wit is rarely sophisticated or particularly clever, but it will appeal to your childish side. It is so easy to just curl up on the sofa and spend a whole (and very relaxing) afternoon just watching this comedy and packing in a whole lot of cheap laughs.

The characters are so memorable and individual, and it is impossible not to find aspects that you can relate to with each of them.
This programme is funny to adults and children alike, and makes a fab addition to any DVD collection. This series is as good as ever.
It is also pretty good value, as you get 18 episodes.

Many of the reviews on Amazon are, quite rightly, praising Family Guy but don't comment on the content of the 3rd season DVD.
Fans of the show will be aware of how surreal some of the plots and scenes can be and in this series the episodes become even more dark and twisted. Stewie, the megalomaniac baby, becomes increasingly more camp, for example.
This series improves upon both of the first two seasons, providing more continuity between episodes (Peter losing his job, Brian continuing to feel listless), more laugh out loud moments, slightly fewer songs and some incredibly near to the knuckle themes and jokes. Quagmire, the Griffin's lothario neighbour, sets new standards in tastelessness.
It becomes easier to understand, although not support, why nervous TV Executives in the US would cancel the show. This DVD is a fitting memorial to a show that will be sadly missed for its imagination and humour.
