CHICAGO – You’re probably still processing the news that Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars next year and wondering if his TV show is still as funny as it used to be. Quick review? It’s not. The show has suffered creatively for a few years now as I think MacFarlane was spread too thin with his dozen or so projects. However, the DVD releases from FOX are still stellar, packed with special features.

Rating: 4.0/5.0

The latest “Family Guy” release on DVD includes 14 uncensored episodes of the animated FOX hit but it’s the special features that will be of most interest to serious fans of the show as they includes commentaries on multiple episodes, deleted scenes, animatics, and more. For years now, the “Family Guy” DVD releases have been some of the best on the market and while the show may not be what it once was it’s nice to see Fox treating its fans with as much respect as they ever have.
