Ok, so the reason I'm saying Season 1 DVD is because in the series DVD they mixed season one with part of season 2 in so it's easier to just mention the DVD. I bought it on Trade Me along wither 8 other seasons and some additional TV specials. I decided to watch the series while doing some uni work, so I've probably been listening to the how more than actually watching.
What sets the show apart from other shows is that some of the characters(especially the dad of the family, Peter) acts so dumb, and if you thought Homer from The Simpsons was, then you were wrong, it's so much that I must cringe ><. They also like to add in comedy violence, so in the show a character could tell the other to cut their head off or something and they'd do it(just something random lolz).
Another recurring thing is that in almost all episodes, they have these sort of things where a character mentions something, and they show what the character was thinking(sometimes a sort of fake flashback or just a normal flashback), do I need to explain??? lol.
Also they like to do this repeating gag thing. An example in this series was when Peter(I think) can't stop laughing, and as Lois(Peter's Wife) tries to say something, Peter starts laughing. This repeats over and over for a minute or two. At the end there's a huge pause before Lois starts talking.
Some of the episodes like to parody films or other shows as well, so if you like that sort of stuff, you must watch :)
All in all, this show is really comedic, lots of inside jokes, lots of family drama. If you like that sort of stuff and haven't watched this series then you should consider it! Each episode normally doesn't link to any others so you can watch them out of order if you want, and whenever you have time.
My rating is 8/10. Something you might not understand is Stewie, the talking baby. He talks English, but sometimes people either ignore him or don't take him seriously and think it's baby talk. More is revealed in the future series.
Well that's all. I got that replacement for Full Metal Panic so that's awesome! Can't wait to finish watching, and I also started Bleach season 3. Bye for now!
