Join the dysfunctional Griffin family (Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris
and Stewie) and their Martini-swilling dog Brian as they fight
against the norm. This season centres around Peter and Brian's
drinking binges, Lois and Meg's struggle against the disgraceful
men in their lives and one year old Stewie's repeated attempts
to kill his mother and take over the world...
Season
three of Family Guy contains 22 episodes making this
a three disc set (season two was a two disc set) and Fox have
kindly kept the price down to the same as that of the season
two release.
This
season sees Stewie attempt to stop his father from producing
any more sperm, in order to ensure no further spread of eh
Griffin genepool.
There
are plenty of sci-fi references which include Quantum Leap,
in the Kiss Seen Around the World; Superman
in Lethal Weapons; an appearance of a wild Margot Kidder
(of Superman fame) and The Hulk in Mr Saturday
Night. The episode Emission Impossible borrows
heavily from the Fantastic Voyage; From Method to
Madness sees the use of an M.I.B. "flashy
thing"; Stuck Together, Torn Apart has a Raiders
of the Lost Ark reference; and Road to Europe contains
a Empire Strikes Back reference. I won't spoil them
by telling you what they are... see if you can spot them.
There
are also plenty of sci-fi guest voice over artists. Majel
Barrett Roddenberry (of Star Trek fame) plays the part
of a computer; Wallace Shawn (Grand Negus Zek in Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine) plays a sperm and Adam West (1960s Batman)
turns up in a few episodes.
There
is plenty of controversy and picking at minors in this season.
Possibly the best is a whole episode dedicated to slating
the British. One if by Clam, Two if by Sea is fantastically
funny (this episode also has a Tron homage woven into
the story)
Who
cares that this contains no extras, it is still possibly the
best £25 you could spend this month.
