If you need to be told that Familiy Guy is funny, you shouldn’t be surfing the web, you should watch TV and fill the gaping hole in your life. Go. Now.
All right, where were we? When Fox cancelled Family Guy after its third season, things looked as bleak for Stewie’s and Brians fans as they do now for the fans of Arrested Development and Firefly, and soon will for those of Deadwood, may the old cocksucker have mercy. But consistent nagging of fans, and a glorious second life on the Cartoon Network brought the show a second chance, and the writing staff the chance to produce something as close to a full movie as they could get within a limited budget. They wrote three episodes that tie into a coherent story, and released it directly onto DVD. Some parts of the movie drag a bit, especially the additional material framing the movie-in-the-movie, but frequently pure gold shines. Stewie standing on the table celebrating his chess win couldn’t possibly be any better. And Meg’s sex scene is very tastefully done. What more could you want?
