Family Guy - The Freakin' Sweet Collection Reviews

• Worth it for Road to Rhode Island

  
  By A11A7FNI6898TB on 2004-11-25
  Everyone who complains about this DVD being a ripoff need to keep in mind that they are releasing the UNCUT version of Road to Rhode Island, something that disappointed me terribly when the Full Season was released with a censored version. When the original episode aired on TV there was a section making fun of Osama bin Laden and airport security (well prior to 9/11) The DVD set was a travesty in cutting this whole section out. Those who are complaining are just these Johnny Come Lately fans that only bothered to watch it on TBS and DVD and have no idea how great some of the originals were before they were censored for DVD. 13 bucks to regain that episode? Worth it for me.
  
  

• "Freakin' Sweet", my - - oh, never mind...

  AAARRGHH!!! I hate this! I get both "Family Guy" DVD box sets, thinkin' I've got the entire uncut and uncensored original run of shows. But then this comes out, and I discover that one of the eppies ("Road to Rhode Island") had a little bit of footage (an eerily prescient pre-9/11 Osama Bin Laden gag) that was NOT restored in the DVD box set, but was put back in this release! It's yet another example of the Dreaded DVD Double-Dip Ploy (read about this annoying phenomenon at www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/guides/guide-display/-/3CVFIEG84F2PF/ref=cm_aya_av.sylt_sylt/104-0488135-0118334 ) that has plagued us DVDphiles ever since we switched over from VHS! On the upside: the all-new commentary track featuring the Brian and Stewie characters that came with the restored eppie had its moments of mirth.
  
  The four other eppies on this platter don't include any new footage, although three of `em feature commentary tracks by series creator Seth McFarlane and various "Family Guy" producers, writers, and voice actors. For the most part I didn't find the conversations all that interesting. But then, I didn't find the commentary tracks on the selected eppies in the full-season DVD box sets all that interesting, either...
  
  Then there are the special features, which includes a six-minute-long segment from the upcoming Seth McFarlane-created `toon series "American Dad". Judging from the segment I saw, this new show doesn't look very promising; after I got a feel for the primary characters in the first couple minutes, I could see most of the punch-lines comin' from a mile away. There was one good bit at the end, but considerin' the whole deal with the U.S. government's crackdown on indecency that's been goin' down since last year's Super Bowl halftime show (more on this later), this DVD's probably the only place you'll ever actually see it.
  
  Also included are a couple interview segments with Seth McFarlane as he discusses both "American Dad" and the upcoming resurrection of "Family Guy", and his plans for world domin-- er, I mean his plans for the shows. Personally, between the relative unfunniness of "American Dad", the major TV networks buckling under to the governmental indecency crackdown (if ya thought the Fox network went crazy censoring "Family Guy" during its initial run, wait'll ya see what happens with the second incarnation!), and the risk of Seth & Co. splitting their efforts between two shows-- thereby lowering the overall quality of both-- I don't see either show havin' much longevity. Well, unless they switch `em over to Fox's FX cable network, where the FCC can't touch 'em (yet); then "Family Guy" has a pretty good chance of hangin' `round at least...
  
  Now, back to the Dreaded DVD Double-Dip Ploy I brought up earlier. Call me crazy, but I have a feelin' that some time down the road Fox will re-release the full-season DVD box sets with the fully-restored "Road to Rhode Island" eppie complete with the Brian/Stewie commentary track on it, as well as the other episode commentary tracks that appear on this particular platter. They probably won't include the Seth McFarlane interview featurettes or the "American Dad" segment, though (no big loss). So needless to say, I think you should hold off on buying this. If ya simply MUST watch it, though... give it a rent.
  
  `Late
  
  UPDATE 2/7/2005: I caught the "American Dad" promo episode after the big game, and it actually had some fairly funny moments. Just about all of the scenes that are on this DVD were also in the eppie, with a few slight alterations here and there. Unfortunately, it didn't quite floor me like a decent eppie of "Family Guy" would...

• It's very subjective whether this DVD is worth the money or not.

  
  By A3FVIFL4HGI5CL on 2005-09-04
  Some of it is really of no interest, some of it isn't. With "American Dad" out on TV with many episodes shown, the segment of the DVD that gives you insight into that show is really obsolete. I suppose some of the interviews might be interesing for looking for more insight on Seth MacFarlane, or for those who have never seen the man behind the show. The interview about Family Guy Season 4 is interesting in retrospect, I suppose.
  
  
  The restored "Road To Rhode Island" doesn't really make it worth it. It's just the one deleted segment, and it really isn't funny. I notice the first review says "true fans have to have this scene," frankly, I think that's ridiculous and pedantic. If by "true" fans, you mean insanely obsessed, then I guess you'd be correct. It's not really offensive, but it doesn't add anything to the episode (which is a good one).
  Now, it sounds like my review is completely negative. Why is this worth it?
  
  Well, let me be honest. I love the commentaries on Futurama. I think they're among the best commentaries I've ever heard, and they just add to the rewatch value of the episodes. But a lot of Family Guy commentaries have been... just... blah. Maybe it's because they choose mediocre episodes to do commentaries on "Ready, Willing, and Disabled," "Death Lives," "Holy Crap," etc. But the commentaries on here really make this DVD worth it, I think. The commentary for "Rhode To Road Island" - I like it, it's great, it's hilarious, you should hear it. It's already one of my favorite episodes, this just made it better. The "To Love and Die In Dixie" commentary was okay, nothing special. But two episodes I'd always wished they had done commentaries on but didn't - "I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar" and "Lethal Weapons" - they finally did here! Excellent! In particular I thought the "I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar" commentary was one of the best they've done. There's nothing new with the "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein" from the Season 3 DVD.
  
  In conclusion, the new commentaries make it worth your while to check this DVD out. As for plunking down the money, I could see Family Guy fanatics doing that, easily, I'm not so sure the casual fan will think this is worth the investment. It's definitely worth a video store rental though, absolutely.
  
  

• A Best-of Set.

  
  By AECXFCX8CW6HE on 2004-10-26
  This DVD is Seth MacFarlane's five favorite episodes of the show, the first three seasons. Seth is the creator of the show, and the voice of three of the characters: Peter - the dad, Stewie - the baby, and Brian - the dog.
  
  One of the episodes on these five is the un-edited version of "The Road to Rhode Island". The version that appears on the volume one DVD set, and on the reruns has one scene edited out. A scene edited out after 9/11 because it includes Osama Bin Laden. The episode originally aired about a year and a half before that day, but it was edited out. Enough people have complained on the internet to force the makers of this particular DVD to release the original version.
  
  The scene I speak of takes place at an airport. Stewie distracts the baggage checkers with the x-ray machines from seeing what's inside his bag by singing a show-tune. Osama Bin Laden, impressed that it worked for Stewie, sings himself to distract others from seeing what he's carrying in his bags.
  
  Anyways, I'm not sure what the other four episodes in the set are, but you can be sure that they're good ones. For those that haven't heard yet, this show will air some new episodes starting next summer! I tell ya, I can't wait.
  
  

• Kinda a best of set

  
  By A1HXP4PZYZE52M on 2004-12-06
  Only 5 episodes. I guess this is what they put out for us fans to feast upon, while we wait for season 4 coming to TV in 2005. There have also been rumours of a Family Guy Movie. Although this is good it only contains 5 episodes. Just go buy the season sets instead unless your a diehard fan and need this and every other episode even if its different from the regular version, well and also you get a couple commentaries for the episodes here.
  
  EPISODES:
  1. When You Wish Upon a Weinstein
  2. Road to Rhode Island(uncensored)
  3. To Love and Die in Dixie
  4. I Am Peter Hear Me Roar
  5. Lethal Weapons
  
  
• For casual Family Guy fans only
  By AJKWF4W7QD4NS on 2005-09-14
  Pretty much produced as a promo for the long awaited return of Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy (and the premiere of his new adventure into animated lunacy, American Dad), Family Guy: The Freakin' Sweet Collection contains five of MacFarlane's favorite episodes (the unaired When You Wish Upon a Weinstein, the unedited Road to Rhode Island, To Love and Die in Dixie, I Am Peter Hear Me Roar, Lethal Weapons) which will no doubt leave the viewer in stitches. MacFarlane provides colorful commentaries on each episode (and even provides one as both Brian and Stewie on Road ro Rhode Island which is worth the price of admission alone), and there are other assorted extras as well, including previews of the new Family Guy and American Dad. In the end, whether this is worth purchasing is up to the viewer. If you don't already own the best-selling season sets and are just a casual fan, this is worth picking up, but if you do own each season, there is no point in picking this up.
  
  
• Word from the casual fan.
  By A16PEMNNXMO1UQ on 2006-01-30
  In my opinion, these first three seasons are better and much funnier than the resurrection season, simply because the gags are much more solid and give the episodes a LOT more replay value than the new season itself.
  
  These five episodes are hand-picked favorites by none other than creator Seth MacFarlane. They are:
  
  When You Wish Upon a Weinstein: Peter wishes upon a star for a Jew for better account protection and later becomes convinced that Chris will become better at school by becoming a Jew himself. Not one of the greatest, but still pretty funny. And it's easy to see why this episode was banned from airwaves. 7/10
  
  Road to Rhode Island: A classic. Plain and simple. In order to forget his abandonment from his mother, Brian tries to bring Stewie home after Stewie's trip to see Lois's parents' property. Unfortunately, Brian and Stewie end up losing their plane tickets and goes on a journey back to Rhode Island on foot. A blend of heart and humor from beginning to end. Even the cut Osama Bin Laden scene was a hoot. 9/10
  
  To Love and Die in Dixie: One of my all-time favorites! The Griffins are sent to the deep south after the criminal Chris placed the finger on for a grocery robbery escaped from jail. Rippingly hilarious! 10/10
  
  I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar: Probably one of the edgiest, yet funniest episodes ever written! Peter is sent to women's retreat to find his "feminine" side after being sued by a local employee for sexual harassment. 8/10
  
  Lethal Weapons: The highlight of this DVD! Lois joins Bonnie for Tae-Jitsu classes and everybody follows her example. The family brawl towards the end of the episode is just plain hysterical. 10/10
  
  Now on to the extras: Three commentaries on Lethal Weapons, To Love and Die in Dixie, and I Am Peter, Hear me Roar which, although very suggestive, are still interesting to listen to. Next, a commentary on Road to Rhode Island by Brian and Stewie is a real hoot. A clip of the first American Dad episode is included, somehow isn't funny while the animation is better than Family Guy. Finally, there are two separate interviews by Seth MacFarlane: One where Seth talks about American Dad, and the other for the return of Family Guy. 7/10
  
  Overall: This is the best "best of" compilation I've bought so far! Just like Futurama, I don't feel like buying the season sets since the show is still rerunning on Adult Swim and TBS. 9/10
  
  
• Bilking The Public For More Money
  By A9EE0BJPOZ4VD on 2004-10-26
  This single disc includes 5 previously released episodes. The big addition: the few seconds of Osama bin Ladin (sic) that was opted not for inclusion on the episode "Road To Rhode Island". Apparently all the reasons not to release it in tact the first time around no longer apply. Does anyone hear a CA-CHING? This disc will include some commentary, blah blah blah. Die hard fans will purchase it, but just buy the multidisc sets. It's hard to justify a $12 price for a few seconds of newly included cartoon footage. It seems like it has become standard now. Look at the so called "uncut" Ren & Stimpy. How long will it be before a "completely uncut" set occurs--only to ask fans for more money. MacFarlane & Fox should take a lesson from the Tom & Jerry Premiere DVD set. It was noticed that Disc 1 was censored, and an exchange is being set up so that fans who buy the set can exchange the censored disc for an uncut one. If people continue to buy these products, the companies will continue to play these games.
  
  
• Worth it for the new features
  By A1KHFZUHA377K2 on 2004-11-01
  New commentaries, 5 episodes, original version of Road To Rhode Island restored, preview for American Dad, and Seth Macfarlane talks about American Dad and Family Guy Season 4. I can't wait for this DVD to be released.
  
  
• why?
  By A2MJAS09ECXJ92 on 2004-11-30
  there is no need for this Dvd when you have only 3 seasons already out.
  
  
• Great introduction for new fans
  By A17C983NK87VWX on 2005-06-20
  People should know what this DVD is before buying it. Unlike the "complete" Family Guy box sets, this DVD only contains 5 episodes. The Freakin Sweet Collection is marketed for casual fans, and those who don't want to shell out 30 bucks for a Family Guy DVD. If you are a diehard Family Guy fanatic, this collection is probably not worth it for you. But if you are a new-comer, and want to see what Family Guy is all about, I strongly recommend buying this DVD.
  
  Family Guy is probably the funniest cartoon on TV right now, and one of the most over the top and original shows ever created. This DVD contains five episodes handpicked by the creator as the best the series has to offer. Of course, alot of fans will all disagree on certain choices, but I think the 5 included here are all top quality.
  
  The episodes contain bonous commentary and uncensored scenes that are not included on the other DVDs. A preivew of American Dad (a new show by the same creators) is also included. The episodes on this video are as follows:
  
  Road to Rhode Island- A classic Brian and Stewie episode. Probably the most popular in the series.
  
  When You Wish Upon a Weinstein- The popular banned episode. Peter hires a Jewish accountant because he believe Jews are good with money. Filled with lovely offensive humor that made the network too edgy to air it.
  
  To Love and Die in Dixie- Another great episode, this time featuring the Family Guy crew living in the deep South. Plenty of redneck and confederacy jokes. Very funny.
  
  I Am Peter Hear Me Roar- This episode rips on feminism. Peter gets in touch with his inner self and begins to think he is a woman.
  
  Lethal Weapons- Not my favorite episode of all time, but excellent none-the-less. The fight scene at the end of this episode makes it worth watching alone.
  
  So there you have it. New comers to Family Guy, buy this DVD and test the waters. If you like what you see (and you will) go out and buy the box set and prepare to laugh for hours and hours.
  
  
• Seth MacFarlane and 9/11
  By A3BEBCBJ0CVA90 on 2004-11-29
  I'm a huge Family Guy fan and am definitely happy to hear that they are returning to Fox for another season. The previous reviewers mentioned that Fox censored the episode with Bin Laden and the airport. Does this have anything to do with the fact that MacFarlane missed his flight to Los Angeles from Boston, a plane which eventually crashed into the World Trade Center on 9/11?
  He apparently missed the flight by a few minutes and drove a rental car to L.A. instead. Not to be a downer, but if this is a reason for making us pay for one "uncut" episode among others, I think it's worth the $13.
  
  
• "Aren't you a little old to be wearing braces?"
  By A39W3263A9HCMN on 2005-04-09
  You people need to STOP COMPLAINING about the DVD!
  
  I got it for X-Mas this year and watched it and i don't give a flying crap what anyone sez, I love it. The eppies are great and especially the ROAD TO RHODE ISLAND was great. And the commentary is great but PARENTS BEWARE- THE F WORD IS IN USE. But I'm a die hard FG fan so I love this DVD, And so will you!
  
  
• not that i didn't enjoy it...
  By A1ZHV3W7YMAYM5 on 2004-10-27
  i have to say that the particular, edited-out moment in "rhode to road island" that is present in this edition is quite possibly the hardest i've ever laughed, back when i used to watch family guy on a dorm computer screen. purchasing the first and second seasons on dvd, i was admittedly disappointed, both by the deprivation of a hilarious moment, and by the blatant censorship. is it worth the whole new dvd, though? i freakin' don't think so.
  
  
• Great Episodes
  By A1Z4YY9ZGTX4KG on 2004-11-09
  Family guy is my favorite show. I just wish this dvd contained some new episodes. But the commentary is going to be awsome plus a preview of season 4.
  
  
• its not out yet!!
  By AALAWN5IF5QHI on 2004-11-26
  seriously, how can you write reviews for this when it hasn't been released? but family guy is freakin awesome so everybody who loves family guy should get this anyways. (i haven't seen this dvd yet)
  
  
• good for begenners
  By A2U80IPZXN5V1U on 2005-12-01
  they made this for those who just started watching family guy for the die-hard there arent real new things exept bonuses.if you are a big fan you probably saw these epidodes many times or even have them on dvd.there is an american dad peak and a look at the 4th season like what will hapen and stuff.if you are starting maybe get thisbefore a full season set unless you are sure of your choice.they have a good selection of episodes but if you have vol 1-2 dont bother buing this unless its for a collection.hight points;great for beggeners and it got the season 3 unaired episode,lowlight;not that good for die-hards.it really is for startes in the family of family guy so it mostly is basics so i cant give it more than 3 stars.
  
  
• Greed... Pure, Unadulterated Greed
  By AQ0DWTT1AY2T8 on 2004-10-27
  I have to agree with reviewer Smokey on this one. This release is a joke. Do everyone a favor and pass on this one. Don't encourge studios to censor the first release of a series on DVD only to release it "uncut" later. The special commentary tracks included here were left off the volume 1 and 2 sets. I'm sure FOX was saving them for an opportunity to make more money.
  
  
• Not worth it
  By on 2004-11-22
  This dvd bilked me of all my money. I don't like the fact that fox is trying to make more money through this dvd.
  Noone is trying to make more money than fox and it is atrocious!!! Don't buy this dvd! It's absolutely horrible!!!
  anyone thinking about buying this dvd shouldn't...its a bad dvd chock full of uncut episodes that evryone has seen anyway and the "long awaited" preview of "American Dad", a terrible not funny show about a spy who's a father.
  
  
• Here's a "primer" for those that need to catch on...
  By A1A2SWJHNJ10FP on 2004-12-25
  Family Guy is one of those unique cult series that gained a giant fan base after its untimely cancellation in 2002 by FOX and later resurrected beautifully thanks to sales of the 2 DVD volumes of all three seasons of the show and its success as part of Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" animation block. This little factor led FOX to reconsider its original cancellation and recommission the show's creator, Seth MacFarlane, to prepare a new 4th season to air sometime next year.
  
  But to tide those that may have already bought the 2 DVD sets (or is still in the dark about what Family Guy is truly all about), MacFarlane chose 5 of his favorite episodes of FG over the first 3 seasons (including the one episode that FOX flat-out refused to air) and released it as the "Freakin' Sweet Collection".
  
  The disc contains a few new additions that you won't find in the original DVD sets, including a new uncensored version of the episode "Road to Rhode Island" that contains a scene that FOX demanded that MacFarlane edit out since it contained an reference to Osama bin Laden, even though the episode aired 16 months before the 9/11 attacks. In an eerie strike of coincidence, a small incidental argument with FOX execs caused MacFarlane to miss a flight from Los Angeles to Boston, which would later be one of the planes that smashed into the WTC towers on 9/11. The episode also contains a new commentary done by both Brian and Stewie that will have you in stitches...
  
  Also included is the controversial episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" that FOX never aired due to the fact the network felt that the episode would offend the Jewish community by typecasting Jews to be tightwads and also containing a rather offensive musical number. The episode did air earlier this year on FOX but was edited, so the one on the DVD is the original unedited version of it.
  
  In addition, there is new commentaries on all the episodes from MacFarlane and many of the crew of FG, a special sneak preview of what we can expect in Season 4 when it airs of FOX next year, and a sneak peek at MacFarlane's brand new series for FOX, American Dad.
  
  If you still need to find out what makes this show so hilarious and controversial to say the least, this is a good start. If you already own the 3 volumes, then consider this Family Guy Volume 2.5: Special Creator's Cut Edition...
  
  
• What a ripoff!!
  By A2XFLF0WJDARYG on 2004-12-29
  If FOX released just the uncensored version of "Road to Rhode Island" for $5.00 (as someone suggested), I might be willing to buy it.
  
  Forcing someone to buy DVD for a restored scene is just ripping the fans off.
  
  If you're a fan, you've already have the boxed sets. If you're not a fan, this DVD will not change your mind.
  
  So, who is FOX trying to convert?
  
  
  
  
• Its AMERICA
  By AHIMKAW0XYQ0W on 2004-11-09
  The dvd is very cool, but some people find it to be a waste of money to buy it. Some people think that this dvd was only put out to "bilk" you all of more money...This is insane.
  People that complain about others trying to make more money, is as ridiculous as people blaming Steve Bartman for the Chicago Cubs fall in 2003 (sports reference, if ya dont know look it up). How can anyone complain about someone doing something that ANYONE would do. Everyone who wrote a review would try to make more money doing anything they can. I give them props for coming up with this idea...and I dont know, maybe I am crazy, but I plan to buy a $13 dvd on my favorite show...
  anyone thinking about buying this dvd should...its a great dvd chock full of uncut episodes and the long awaited preview of "American Dad" very very cool buy
  
  
  
• Stewie/Brian Commentary
  By A1F32PZCEDVP64 on 2004-12-18
  The uncensored commentary by Stewie and Brian on "The Road To Rhode Island" is worth the double dip for these episodes.
  
  Brian: "On my drivers license under visual impairments it says only sees in black and white.
  
  Stewie: "So you can only see in black and white"
  
  Brian: "right"
  
  Stewie: "Noooo S**t"
  
  Stewie does swear alot in this commentary
  
  
  
• Only for die-hards
  By AJWLY5TEKPE1M on 2005-01-20
  I'm a big fan of the show, and bought this despite having both DVD sets on the shelf. Primarily, I was interested in the "Rhode to Rhode Island" commentary by Brian and Stewie. It's a great concept, but falls flat in execution.
  
  The novelty of hearing Brian and Stewie use profanity wore out in about three seconds. What's left is just not that funny. There obviously wasn't that much effort put into this track, and that's a shame. Call this a missed opportunity.
  
  The remainder of the extras are marginally interesting, but unless you're a die-hard, must-have-everything kind of fan, you can pass on this without fear of missing something great.
  
  Instead, take that money and buy "Greg the Bunny" on DVD. Fox may have come to its senses by brining back "Family Guy", but they lost a gem when they killed off GtB.
  
  
• Funniest series since the Simpsons!
  By A3P5QUCSCAZZT1 on 2004-11-27
  Dont forget the so-called controversial episode "Weinstein" that FOX, i guess, refused to air. Although it was aired on cartoon network. I cant wait for this disc to come out. The Osama bit in "Rode to Rhode Island" was hilarious, I still cant believe they cut it out.
  
  Counting down to season 4 on FOX.....
  
  
• Worth it?.................... I don't think so.
  By A1FS2G2JUBJY2Q on 2004-12-30
  Now listen. I am a very huge "Family Guy" fan, I bought the whole collection on DVD from amazon.com, except this one. And I think it is not worth fifteen bucks on this DVD, the only thing this DVD makes it worth SOME of the money is the uncut/uncensored version of the episode "Road to Rhode Island", which I love by the way, and the comentaries of the fourth season and "American Dad". It's not worth it. SORRY.
  
  
• Purchase this?.............mmmmmmmmm.
  By A199545U14YERT on 2005-01-11
  I am a DIE-HARD fan of "Family Guy", this is my favorite T.V. show and I own "Family Guy, Vol. 1 & 2". "Family Guy", but...is this item worth $15.00? I think the answer is: "no". I don't think this is worth it. This DVD contains all episodes of "Family Guy" that are included on Volumes 1 and 2, except the uncensored version of "Road to Rhode Island", I love this episode and to be honest: I haven't watched the "uncensored" one. So I would recomend instead of this DVD: "Family Guy, Vol. 1 and 2" so you will be able to live a whole "Family Guy" experience. Trust me.
  
  
  FAMILY GUY RULES!!!!!!!!
  
  
• For diehard fans...and casual watchers?
  By A3CGQS92YD4G7P on 2005-08-23
  Two types of people could buy this DVD: the diehard fans who need everything "Family Guy", and the casual watcher who doesn't want to spend a lot of money on the complete seasons.
  
  I've always wanted to own the seasons, but I stumbled upon this and decided to give it a try. I've seen the episodes hundreds of times (except this was my first viewing of "When you Wish Upon a Weinstein") but this is a show that rarely gets tiring to watch.
  
  I usually do not listen to commentaries but after watching the same five episodes again and again I decided to give them a shot. They are hilarious; you can tell the creators had a great time making these shows. The deleted scene in "Road to Rhode Island" is very funny, but it wouldn't be the reason to buy this DVD.
  
  Because I plan on buying the complete seasons too, I guess you could call me a diehard collector. But whether you are one or the other, you should check out this DVD.
  
  
• Family guy-The Freakin' Sweet Collection
  By A2Y7RWL90JR341 on 2006-05-08
  Good thank god theres a comentary for lethal weapons episode because thats a good one.I think Seth Macfarlane should have picked a different episode instead of When You Wish Upon A Weinstein.because it already has a comentary on the season three set.I think he should have picked I Never Met The Dead Man,but to bad.
  
  
• Worth the Price for Hardcore Fans
  By A1JS365U3PYTUR on 2005-01-07
  Upon first glance, "The Freakin' Sweet Collection" could be seen as a waste of money for a Family Guy fan who already owns the first three seasons on DVD. Truth be told, it was a hard sell for me. But when I finally broke down and bought it, I realized that it was more than worth it.
  This isn't for a casual Family Guy fan. It's for those of us who scoured the internet for that cut scene from "Road to Rhode Island", those of us who listened to all of the commentary on the season sets, and watched the Special Features more than once.
  The "Road to Rhode Island" commentary by Brian and Stewie makes this DVD a worthy addition to anyone's DVD collection, though only the real collectors out there will appreciate this DVD in the long run.
  
  The only real problem I had with "The Freakin' Sweet" collection was the inclusion of "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein". Although this is an episode that never aired on television, it seems redundant to include it here, since it is already available on the other DVD's. There isn't even any commentary provided, since it was already done on the Family Guy Vol. 2 [Season Three] DVD set. "The Freakin' Sweet Collection" would be a much better buy if a different episode, with commentary, had been added, but overall, this DVD is a must-own for hardcore Family Guy fans and collectors.
